They haven't been "given" any information.
Of course they were given information. Either they were trained by their corporate masters (or memories were implanted by them) in how to use the ship, or it came from some other source. Whatever information they were given by their corporate masters, it has to make sense for them to have been given it.
Unless the android started out as combat equipment for them to use on missions, to add that last bit of inhumanity to the "Raza" legend. That would explain perfectly why they'd know how to disable it. Any halfway competent soldier knows how to "safe" his own weapon.
I thought the android was described as a security android. I'll have to wait a couple of days until it gets put on my DVR so I can rewatch it. In any case, no simple piece of "combat equipment" would know so much about all the inner workings of the ship. The android is clearly meant to operate and complete their whole missions autonomously.
Where did I use the word "mindless"?
It's entirely possible that third parties were responsible for all the memory losses in an attempt to stop their mission.
Obviously.
You assume only one scenario fits the available evidence. "Aspirin comes in pills. Aspirin is white. Therefore all pills are white."
Thanks.

If I need a refresher in basic logic I'll—go somewhere else.
Need I remind everyone that this is all ultimately about whether we enjoy it?!? Sure, I'm making assumptions to fill in the blanks, but so what? Most of us are. Right now there's an incomplete picture.
It doesn't add up yet.
No company is going to put pirates in a starship capable of destroying colonies and send them out to do dirty work without there being some overwhelming threat to keep them on-mission. I'd assumed since I thought I heard the android described as a security android, and since she knows so much about the ship (relatively speaking), that it was the android. But if it's not the android, maybe it's whatever is behind the Special Door....
