"I want a replacement who's a skilled pilot and loyal to me. But you failed."
Why the fuck would he be loyal to you? You just said you killed his dad.
"And the fault doesn't lie with me alone."
Well, it kind of does, because you're the person who killed him, but regarding circumstances beyond that, that's also obvious because you work for the government. I assumed you had orders, or at the very least were acting within your authority.
"There's another man responsible, he's living on the moon now."
Just one? I thought this was what the whole bureau does - build up promising soldiers and then kill them "in the line of duty" to make propaganda based on heroic sacrifices. I thought Leo's goal was to take down the entire TRU. Am I misremembering?
"And he's rising through the ranks fast."
How is someone who wasn't already high-ranked responsible for Leo's dad's death? Were you not acting on orders? Were you acting orders from someone lower ranked than you?
Someone, please tell me this isn't just me. Surely this at least seems strange to someone else, right?
