Quote:wherein the Mollys and Bretonia go neutral for some reason
The Mollys are fighting for the independence of the Dublin system and in exchange for getting Molly help against Kusari (and freeing up all the BPA/BAF forces needed to keep Dublin under their control), Bretonia grants the Dublin system independence, much like the UK has granted Ireland independence.
I don't really see where that is out of character. The Bretonians finally get a solution and some relief from the pressures facing them from all sides and the Mollys get their independence.
