"The Benitez's can do as they please. It is not up to us to dictate to them what they can and can't do, unless it affects the sanctity of Gamma. If they choose to station a battleship on Cadiz, all the better, Ronneburg base will fall that much faster.
I have read the reports on the GC and I really don't know what to say. On the one hand, it isn't our business what deals our brothers make. On the other, its disturbing to have suspected bribery. However, now you have found out, its up to the Benitez's to make the next move.
On the Outcast issue, I will agree with you on that. Maybe the OPG aren't to be trusted, but they have exiled themselves and that was what we were going to ask of them, no? Besides, I doubt very much Ximen would pilot one of our Osiris' against us. You overestimate everyones scheming. Don't be paranoid.
Tell you what. Instead of the Brotherhood aiding you in the southern attack, why don't you allow the Benitez's to fly on your wing. If what you really want to do is prove their guilt, then be my guest. Show me first hand their treachery and I'll believe you. Until then, have faith."
