Under the right circumstances, even dangerous people can be utilized. From what I know of the man, he is very justice oriented. A trait that would do well within RISE. But he also quite clearly will take that justice a bit too far. And it is unfortunate that he did and such a thing wound up reflecting negatively upon you.
I, personally, do not hold your organization accountable for this. In my opinion, it's extremely difficult to tell what a person is truly like when the porter can bring in some of the greatest liars and criminals right alongside the good and just. But I worry about the public opinion from the perspective of the imPorts. So perhaps to put their minds at ease, would you be willing to submit to an investigation? This would be headed by Count Dooku, and it will serve the function of proving once and for all that RISE is not corrupt with its power.
And in exchange, provided everything goes well, I will petition to the government to put the Helix Station in RISE's hands.
Yes, but given his prior actions within this world, I think a bit more caution might have been wise.
That would be the Major General's choice- and while I think it's a good idea, she generally doesn't have much patience for politics. But the prospect of Helix Station might be enough of an incentive.
I'm flattered, Lord Baelish, but there are several reasons. First is that the Major General formed RISE- and was able to do so, in no small part, thanks to her military experience and service with this government- she has their trust, and that is an advantage not only to her, but our entire community.
Second is the matter of my age- nineteen year olds are seldom given command of organizations in this world, whatever titles they hold in their own worlds.
Finally, the Major General has more experience than I with military command and running an organizatio- experience I am eager to learn from.
I have no doubt that the Major General makes for a great leader, particularly when it comes to missions and military matters. But sometimes experience alone is not enough, especially with this group of stubborn imPorts. You must show a willingness to compromise, and I do hope she will understand that when it comes to this investigation.

That is a shame about the youth in this world. Not only are you a brilliant mind but you are well-spoken, well-mannered, and generally well-liked. Your willingness to do the right thing and be a hero are unmatched by a great many of our peers -- at least this is what I've been told when it comes to stories of your bravery.
I would hope if there ever came a time when the Major General either ported out or for some reason had to step down, you would rise against the obstacles to lead RISE in her place.

But I will bring your suggestions to her.
