His subordinate had been reckless, but his loyalty was precious. If he was to be punished, it should have been by him, Jean Shields. And yet, the Dudley Family had just lynched the man... Even knowing the source of the Dudley Family's power, this was an insult he simply could not stomach.
The dispute escalated into a conflict between the military and the Noble Houses. It also touched upon the friction between The Shields Faction and the Kane Faction within the Power Corps, as the man the Dudleys had killed was one of Kent Kane's subordinates.
Jean Shields was a smart man.
He didn't have a guaranteed victory facing two factions alone, so he first contacted Commander Chandler to secure an alliance.
Everyone knew Commander Chandler was fiercely protective of his own, and he would fly into a rage if one of his soldiers was killed by the Power Corps.
