Thanks, @Backo, your answer made somewhat sense to me. What about Loyola's infectee status, though? I mean, isn't it like pretty much publically known that she is infected? Especially in the Omicrons?
The open question I still have is how Loyola can assume leadership in the first place, though. Non-aggression or not, would the Core really just put an Outcast as their leader just because they are not at direct war but at a NAP status?
