Serena now fully understood Andrew's standing in the Main World: he was a nuclear weapon. The moment he appeared, everyone fell into line.
That was only natural. He was the Director of S.W.O.R.D., the Savior. Terris had kept silent before because he feared the powerful Elder Victor. The problem was, Victor wasn't worth a damn in front of the Director of S.W.O.R.D.
