Humanity's Shadow

[Reeves]

His posture was rather genuinely neutral and a brief verification of their surroundings through the use of the security systems would confirm the fact that he'd come alone and didn't appear to be armed either, clearly he'd stayed true to his word. He considered her question for a split-second, maintaining perfect eye-contact. The only remote accompaniment he had were two Avengers in orbit of the Planet, ensuring that in the event of any foul-play a quick response would be more than possible.

I see this situation a bit like the trade-lane and jump-gate innovations made all those years ago. A chance to change everything for the better. Of course we do see a rather significant use for this in defensive technology, especially when the Republic itself faces pressure from a foreign invader, violent and occasionally religious drug-dealers, artefact smugglers and alcoholics with ships and guns, among other hostile entities that fight us more indirectly. To integrate this technology would change everything and I do of course have my own plans to integrate this with some of our ships to promote public interests. In summary, what we want with this is a safer Liberty, where this technology is put to good use in ensuring further prosperity, I couldn't care less how many corporations I'd need to scorn to bring that about.

His answer though long and elaborate was rather honest given his profession, there was no sugar-coating of the facts, they were going to rather obviously integrate this for use in their ships and equipment to ensure the Republic's best interests remained in the forefront. In Avery's mind, he couldn't think of any better way to create an even more independent Liberty and to make organizations run by megalomaniacs like the Order remember that they couldn't dictate the fate of the houses anymore or threaten anyone. At least these seemed like good intentions, though it was unknown what the political influence on this matter might be.
