> An interesting dilemma that Chiaki finds herself in. Certainly, the board has changed over the years, and the continuity of things today makes for a different environment than there was years ago. For instance, the Legion didn't much blink when someone would take over France back then. Even later, there was some forgiveness for Messenger. Now, however, it's hard to reconcile such a radical solution as Chiaki enacted with how any responsible law division would react.
Indeed.

> I definitely wouldn't say that Hatty is without mercy in his pursuit of justice... merely that he doesn't let personal feelings override his sense of duty, or his beliefs of right and wrong. I think that's where a lot of the Legion are at with this one... Their personal beliefs are that the Safe breakout was reckless, and so no matter how they may feel about her, they likely believe that Chiaki should answer for her actions.

Chiaki believes he might have some mercy.  It's her only hope.

> Again, I think the trick to reconciling things will be to show that there actually *was* a worse scenario that would have unfolded had Chiaki not done what she did, and that it wasn't just an opinion by her but something concrete that was in the works.

But first there has to be a catalyst and an ultimatum from someone who's watching from the sidelines.
