The Military and civilian government departments operated under different jurisdictions. Director Quinn had specifically sent Miles Sherman to make the report to get a head start.
If The Military were to take the lead, the entire matter would be delayed by at least half a day.
But with Miles Sherman reporting, they could immediately access surveillance footage and information.
Sure enough, after his call with Director Quinn ended, Miles Sherman immediately contacted the government councilor who had been in charge of the Planet B36 incident.
The councilor immediately granted Miles Sherman and his team authorization.
Previously, they probably wouldn't have felt comfortable granting authority to Miles Sherman and Zoe Pierce.
