Ah, and WRT how things worked out in the end in canon, the fact that it went that way is why I figure there was some kind of PR wizardry giing on, even with the TSAB pretty much being a military junta with no civilian oversight - the Numbers threw at least the capital city into chaos and launched a massive, superpowered battleship into its airspace. That kind of thing terrifies people and makes them demand harsh punishment of the perpetrators, unless they're somehow redirected.
