Re: [After all are settled in...]
Was under threat, and really that was more of a feint than anything else, going by her reaction after the failed mission on Ophiuchus's part. So if you weren't really her target, then there would have to be another element to her actions, therefore another goal. One that would not settle well for the blanks.
But better the possible enemy of the embodiment of everything I loathe than she herself.
