Hostage/Defense target can be given a pistol by Operator

[Shalhavet]

Title says it all, really. Operator can hand your equipped secondary to the hostage or defense target. Ending Transference returns you to the warframe and you still have the weapon and can use it just fine.

Interacting with the hostage again removes the weapon, but if you hit 5 again and press X on the target you can take it back.
