Coll, if you want to order them to advance then they will advance. You don't need to refer that to anyone; they'll obey you.
You simply have to consider your own consequences related to who you do not consult- be that Atar, the Commodore or the Commissar.
Arvus- yes you can. Lyle, any specific preparations?
Basically, Lyle, you would have no official help in this so you would have to fraud it, which would take longer than you have.
The Commissar's shuttle is going down; anyone going with him?

Atar is for it. He thinks standing around invites disaster, and that he'd rather face the political consequences than the wrath of the Emperor for being late. Put like that, Nidar agrees.
"How are you going to convince the Commissar?" he asks.
