That argument is akin to the pathetic rationalizations of the collaborator Torch, Tellgard. We should not be acting as an advocacy group towards the Decimverate, as though Pathfinders were some special interest group that only sometimes merit their attention, on a par with state-sponsored spies or criminal networks. Pathfinders are the base of the organization, and deserve much the higher consideration. Furthermore, a loyal opposition ceases, over time and by degrees, to be an opposition. Instead of emasculating our organization and being complicit in the Decimverate's emasculation of the Pathfinder Society as a whole, we should be making the most of this concession to build our organization, to fight for the best elements of the Society, so that we may be prepared when the Decimverate decides to turn the wheel against us again.
