<span style="color: #b3b300">"that is just not true. the ruling counsel has dozens, possibly hundreds of people advising them about every possible subject and not all of those advisors are going to agree. if they respectfully listen to your advice and discuss the topic with you but choose to make their own decision that is not a sign of disrespect, merely them doing their jobs."</span>he shook his head a little and glanced over.<span style="color: #b3b300">"i never intended to keep you in the dark, i just meant to tell you when i knew everything that will be happening and having a doctor handy to answer any questions seemed like the perfect way to limit the stress for both of us. besides, you are so busy already." </span><br/><br/>the Seraphim present recoiled from the display of power and there was quite a bit of mumbling and mutterings before the central figure called them to order. Trinity would detect the protective enchantment on the Seraphim that Susan had previously run up against, she could read their surface thoughts but beyond that it would be very difficult. most of the counselors were busy processing various parts of what Trinity had said but one among them was filled with fear and turning hostile and it was that one which spoke next. "Rayne told this counsel that she knew nothing of how she came to be on this moon but this recording proves that she lied. why should we trust her or you for that matter? hiding and sending agents to lie to us is not the act of a friend." "we've been over your concerns but Rayne has never and will never be given access to any strategically important information. she can't hurt us and she is one unarmed woman." "the sum total of our knowledge is accessible from her wrist device or any monitor, we have no idea what knowledge she has accessed." "to what end!? you saw the reports on her weapon, if that is the best they can do in the field of metallurgy the only weapon we could possibly need against her people is giving them just enough knowledge to blow themselves up. you're concerns are noted, now move on." the central figure glared at the one far to the right who eventually sat down with a huff. "we have no intention to allow one of our citizens to be taken from us regardless of her lack of honesty the last time we spoke. i am willing to attribute her lies to Order's desire to be left alone and prevent us from asking these questions sooner. you say Order loves us, how can that be? our histories have been scoured for any sign of your people but there is nothing."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
