Conner's question was not difficult to answer.
Once the Federal Savings Bank had been put on the hot seat, it had already lost any room to choose.

Only a country and society like the Federation could produce a situation like this.

"They'll make concessions. That's inevitable. The only question now is how far they'll retreat this time."
"That's how you see it?" Conner was a little surprised. "Just concessions?"
