Everyone seemed to intentionally overlook Arvo's conclusion that interlinked all the past news articles in Seri's hanging thread. That it has always been about fear, and self-destruction in the face of an entity nobody wishes to take the time to understand. So much blind fear, that anyone even remotely suspected of being Sansha, is silenced or put to death... even people aren't even loyalists, or even sympathizers.
Why was Arvo ignored? Probably because he's Sansha. I accept that, as it comes with the job description.
Seriphyn and Julianius are both playing their roles the way they should: Federation loyal capsuleers wishing to rule democracy via fear tactics... which so mirrors recent events in America. But that's the thing with EVE: there will always be angles to
every faction in which they believe they are playing the 'good guys' in a very morally gray universe.
I just wonder in light of the news article, if more people and capsuleers will get a wake up call, in realizing to trust their own judgement than to rely blindly on another's... the whole irony of this arc.
