"No way. Ildraniath was already talkin' about getting control and even held a meeting down on Agrestic, with plenty of people there. And besides." Allenby balled her free hand into a fist, resting it on her hip. "What if it'd been one of your pals who was strung up there for an hour, waitin' to get taken apart bit-by-bit? It might be handy publicity to you, but it wasn't for me or Zouichi or Simon."

Unfortunately, though, what she said about Yavek was probably true. He'd lost control in a big way back there--what he'd meant to be a horror show to scare everyone back into their place would have been a complete riot if it hadn't been for Stacy's intervention. And the fact that Zouichi had nearly killed him probably'd make him that much more desperate. "Well, we got a nice list of blind spots, and Engineerin' is busy figuring things out. Dunno what all the other department are doing, though."
