She took the time to look at the data on the holoscreen, her hand caressing unconsciously the crimson cape of her Taisho uniform. She recognized multiple plans and other intelligence stolen from Liberty - it felt somewhat strange to look at these files, and know that once upon a time, she used to defend them or leak them intentionally...

And now, the enemy of yesterday were trying to become her new allies. Ah, the world changed so fast...

She looked at the commander, her intense cyan eyes showing not much emotion.
"We will have to see about these scientists and engineers leaking intelligence to an external agent so freely, madam..."
"For the moment, I wonder why the Order would be so generous as to exchange with us their so-said advanced technology, themselves scavenged from doubtful alien - the same alien enemies we are fighting against, mind you what..."
"I would like you to define a bit better the terms of your alliance before you go on your side of the offering. And just what exactly should we expect of each other."

The general leaned back on her chair. She was fully aware her words might not be accepted by the other members of this council - and, would it be the case, a formal complaint to the emperor might get her as low as executed for treason. She wasn't sure if it was a good idea to assist at that meeting, but she felt it was one of these important moment in history, which she couldn't let pass, be it at the cost of her protection and position of power...
