About
The military hull at the throat. Demands full quarantine + seizure — the clean, defensible path that would work and let the Sethlan die. His warning that the altered cultures will breach containment is vindicated by the breach (which Kade's informal shortcut causes); his troops seal the bloc and save the ring sector. At the climax he chooses between two real duties (his vindicated caution vs the people at the door) — Kade moves him without commanding him. Leaves a durable opponent, never humiliated, still believing he was right about quarantine and wrong about what the station owed the people outside.
