: Helios is not omniscient. Helios will not know of any issues with their lent hardware unless the Imperium reports it. The Imperium is intentionally creating issues which violate the terms of their agreement. The Imperium has nothing to gain by reporting their own violations of the terms. Therefore Helios is not aware of the violations. I believed you to be intelligent enough to understand this. I now know I was mistaken.
The VTOL arrives over Gus's position and Virvel begins looking for a place to set down.
CypherX:
"About god damn time!"
Gus shouts at the hovering VTOL and its crew, not over comms. He peers over the edge at the pod again.

Tippy grinds her teeth against her lower jaw
"The problems are stemming from you giving the imperials that kind of tech in the first place. If you can't break a contract with repeated offenses then Helios is populated by a bunch of bumbling forgetheads. I'd expect Helios to be responsible enough to know and investigate these liabilities from time to time. Or, pay attention to the war, which you hardly need omniscience to do that now do you? They're of city of children with high-tech toys, and our soldiers have to clean up the mess. I half expected you to be intelligent enough to realize that too. This far into everything, you have no excuses."
Tippy leans back into her seat and shakes her head mumbling
"unless the imperium reports it. Puh, we can't assume responsibility for our own stupidity"

: You are misrepresenting what I said. Do I have to repeat myself using simpler words? Perhaps slower, too?
Virvel starts talking over the intercom.
: Ah, that spot'll do. Hold on to something back there, I'm bringing her down!

It still hasn't moved or changed in any way. The VTOL sets down in an intersection about twenty meters down the road from the capsule (to the west).

"You know what, I'll humor you. Simplify it for me and tell me as you would a child. I'm completely serious. I doubt i'll think any differently of the situation."
