Sounds like a very likely outcome in my opinion. Choice offered remain on your base on almost zero pay/unpaid leave (other than state support) or take a voluntary return to Hong Kong on Cos18! Talk about a difficult choice, stay on your base slot on no pay for goodness knows how long or come back to HKG/come to HKG on a terrible package never to return to your base again.
