About the most powerful admin type position?

Strong believer in the pragmatist position that time to move on from Yakaterina, although personally a supporter of Yakaterina.

Politically savvy.

|
||||
President Laurence will make demands we cannot hope to meet.
|
||||
And second, I do not believe this Council can name a successor to the Ennearchy of Strength.
|
||||
|
||||
Yury looked as though he were about to continue speaking, but before he could, Hobard interrupted.
|
||||
―Well the solution's bloody obvious, isn't it?
|
||||
Both of those problems go away if the Hierarch is rescued.
|
||||
|
||||
There was a brief murmur around the table, as well as some glares aimed at Hobard.
|

|

―Look, we're bound by sacred secrecy, he continued, pointedly glaring at Sarla a moment.
|
||||
Some of you have no right to look at me like that.
|
||||
Happy to talk about breaking her out behind closed doors, make plots.
|

Don't tell me that you care so little about Rikka and Cobb.
|
||||
Or that you have lost faith in the Hierarch.
|

We destroy the Republic if we want to survive, and we need the Hierarch to destroy the Republic.

―Hobard, you talk far too much, another yak said.
|

|

Sarla recognised her, Master Clover.
|
||||
The Head of the Palace of Skies.
|
||||
She would surely have known about all of the plots floating around, canny as she was.
|
||||
But she said nothing more, heeding her own advice.
|
||||
|
||||
After a moment, another yak that Sarla didn't recognise spoke up.
|
||||
|
||||
―I think it's clear to everyone here with any proper sense that we cannot resist the forces that stand at our gates.
|
||||
The only thing stopping the Republic from sending the Garrison in is fear of public backlash, and Yakaterina's, well let's generously call it a scheme, would have forced their hand.
|
||||
Holy is her name and her title, but it has been ten years, and attacking the Republic is even less possible than it was back then.
|

|

A slight hum of assent went around the table.
