I did explain my situation to them, that I was a defector, didnt seem to help much.
And yes, the word slipped, I'm sorry about that, as I said it was intended for group chat when I got attacked - probably wouldnt have been acceptable in group chat either except I know the people I was grouped with wouldnt have minded, at any rate it wont be said again.
Anyways, I finished my rep change a couple missions after the incident, I now have an order tag and ID.
