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.

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.

Sarla recognised her, Master Clover.
The Head of the Palace of Skies.

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.
