Judging from our conversation, the fact that she was the leader is something she wasn't aware of until I pointed it out. [ Which is all kind of weird and he wonders if that's part of why she stepped down. Really strange though. She was elected into the official position of leader for the Defence Force, it's not something she just ended up in. ]
This puts us in a position where we need to move fast or risk losing momentum... though I'm not sure how that will make us look.
