#19 by Mens Rea

Sometime later...
"You weren't expecting that," says Kakera as they set their ships down in the League's private hangar. Carnifex raises an eyebrow quizzically.
"The LWB," clarifies Kakera, "their ceasefire with the Rheinland military. Hiring us, the hackers, and even SSI to defend Rheinland targets. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bretonians turn on Liberty before long."
Carnifex seems to ponder this for a moment.
"Are you sure this isn't slipping out of your grasp," continues Kakera, "Or are things still going, 'according to plan?'"
She pauses for effect, then continues, "who will Liberty come after first? Will they try to bruise the powerful Houses stacked against them, or will they go after the smallest, most bothersome enemy?"
She pauses again.
"Do you kill a battleship or its escort first? Think about it. The Seijaku Maru maybe be a deterrent against smaller strike sqauds, but when Liberty comes in force, our employers better be there for us."
