There are some advantages to being figurehead, of course. It was the reason Argent and his "advisors" actually explained the overall plan to me, rather than keeping me in the dark along with the individual mercs on the various assault teams. (Maybe he’d have told me anyway, figurehead or not, but at least this way I don’t have to sweat about it.) The plan’s a wiz combination of pure brass and deception, using some capabilities I’d never heard of before in the tech we got from Lynne.
