I'm sorry, but I can't offer my help without first knowing what any of our leaders want to do. I'll take individual action if the situation calls for it, but I'm loyal to them. Even if I understand collaborating is in everyone's best interest, this is not something I can compromise.
Even taking that aside, we cannot be certain that's what they plan on doing with the keystone unless they're the ones saying it. And considering no one has come forward and admitted to having it, that's not likely to happen. Forcibly taking it without being certain their plan is solid would simply prove they're right in not trusting us. To tell you the truth, I don't like forcing my methods onto others.
