Evandau does not retract that intimation, instead confirming it with that clearer statement. "That is the key part, Costigan. I cannot give authority where it may be abused, neither as Emperor nor Commander.

However, they must only act in a manner compliant with Keeliai law and my policies. That is why there must be someone I trust to control them."
