I'm incentivized to understand the situation in full before proceeding.
You, uh, do.

Which continues to not change the fact that I have stakes in this.
Sure. In fact, that changes nothing at all about anything we’ve been talking about. See how I feel about all this now?
<Snipped quote by Abominations>
Perhaps not, but I'm still entangled at this point.
That’s no different than being entangled by whatever made you cohorts with these two anyway.

You have my identity and leveraged a remote offensive weapon capable of destroying a star network. I'm personally invested in understanding your motivations.
You, specifically, aren’t a hard person to know. Not to someone who opens their eyes a little bit to the wide world.

Not necessarily. But you asked what power structure prevents the action you took, and that approach will lead to the power structure described.
Sure. But are you the part of the power structure in question, with the conflict in interest? Because otherwise, I would like to leave.

The only relevant law on this scale is the law of strength. When you've totaled the combined strength of an entity and its allies, by force they assert their will. And when interests conflict, one has but hope that those in the right carry the most strength.
*Nods*

That depends on whether you have an actually enlightening answer.
<Snipped quote by Abominations>
I… There’s no way firing off a weapon of mass destruction just on a whim like that is okay.
You say that because you feel that way. But what powers that be actually have any laws in place against it?
*Shrugs*
You tell me.

Ultimately, this is an issue of conflicting interests. Our interest is ensuring this device remains inactive, and your interest lies in the opposite.
Long term. Perhaps. That’s not even guaranteed. No, I know exactly what this is. The feline there brought you here for standard anomaly procedures. You all came with the intention of finding the unsolicited use of the elements, and stopping it. Well, that use is stopped. Nothing else is happening that should be.

Nobody has accused you of harming anyone.
Then what crime do you oppose me for?
