Craig kind of brushed it off... but why even have assistants if you're not going to get opinions on things. I dunno, I definitely didn't like the sound of it. I've been on the fire Treliving bandwagon longer than almost anyone, so that might be colouring my opinion of it.

If the discussion topic of the moment was about possible trade deals, I think it’s very reasonable for a GM to want to be the initiator of the “process”. This sounds more like Burke spreading the work around because he was not brought here to be the GM - his job was to evaluate the organization, bring in a new GM if one was needed, and if Feaster had to go, help the new person (Treliving) get established.

I don’t see a problem with what Conroy was saying.
