You have a good point on Keyan's wording, as he does say remove. But he's removing "in order to", meaning completing the task is a prerequisite for what follows. In my experience with X-Wing's rules, this is essentially spending a resource in all but name... probably. Again, FFG words. The FAQ makes it clear that if you have to have something happen first to get an effect, then you don't get the effect if the cause is prevented (their example was Captain Yorr sucking up a stress token will interfere with Opportunist or Soontir Fel). I assume that's different from Torani's wording because you " do  A or B" but they're not connected in an "if do A then do B" fashion... but because FFG is FFG, that's probably reading too much into illusory precision.

So sadly yes, as much as I wish I could declare for one side or the other, all I can do is explain how both sides might interpret the card. Without word from FFG, I'm kinda stuck erring on the neutral side even though that's not incredibly helpful. If you need to use the ship in a tournament and it's still not cleared up, contact your TO in advance and ask them how they'll rule. That way you can avoid nasty surprises mid-game!

I hope that helps.
