"It's nothing more than a façade. She's got the ascended in her bed." Literally he wanted to add, but refrained. "When we decided to take Halo from her, we did it through conversation. Morgan abdicated the throne by her own choice, in the end of it. We were willing to use force if we had to, because we needed her out of her Wardenship. We met with the people come sunrise, and offered the people a chance to dispute our seats. No one did." They had the people on their side. Sure, there were concerns, but no one contested their ruling. Halo was used to changing Wardens, after all. Until Neron had come in, it had all been mostly peaceful or out of necessity because of a previous Warden's death.
"Morgan came back with the ascended and attacked the people of Halo. Morgan was there, on the Sea of Glass, helping the ascended. It's all a façade. There is no neutrality. When Halo requested the help of Frey before, it was because Deimos and I and others swayed it that way."
