Steven thought for a moment before saying anything. Sometimes, trying
to understand the actions of others was something he had to struggle for.
Hopefully, he'd get some more information and possibly start forming an
idea as to how the two groups could be better understood.
"This might be a leap of logic and faith, but has there been any thought
given as to whether or not the two might be related in some way?
Possibly as in: the felinids are funding the Brotherhood, but not allowing
anyone involved with the Brotherhood to figure out that their backers are
actually those that they are most against... Especially seeing as you did
just say that the felinids tend to use pawns in their work. Might not the
Brotherhood be considered their pawns in at least one way?"
"That is a possibility. You would have to speak to either Vice Admiral Kitanya or
Rear Admiral Black about the possibility."
