>>5401176>Give him a thank you>OTHER: Offer him raw data from our side so he can see what our Legion saw, pure facts with no opinion attached. Alpharius can use that data to improve his own legion without us attaching any opinion to it.>Tell him in the Mechanicum we leave 'nothing unspoken or left to detail' in Techna Lingua.>[This means if we have made no opinion, we have made no opinion, simple as. It means we don't speak in messages between the lines. Alpharius can then realize if he wants our opinion he will have to ask directly]There are reasons we shouldn't critique him off the bat.
#1 It says that we believe his legion should act the way we envision, not the way he envisions or his motivations behind the scenes.
#2 "Well, why didn't we do that?"
#3 It gives Alpharius a critical insight into our own mindset, which could give him more leverage against us.
In response, if asked:
#1 "I don't presume to command the Alpha Legion, for I am not Alpharius. The Alpha Legion succeeds or fails per Alpharius alone and no other"
#2 "If I could have done it, I would have. I didn't. Therefore, all that you do, I appreciate."
#3 "If you want to know what I think, please ask. Don't make inferences from my silence, it's not how I run things."
