Had the Star of Dawn's operation failed this time?
From their perspective, they had successfully occupied downtown Helios District, reached an agreement with the Peacekeeping Forces, and spread the name of the Star of Dawn.
To a certain extent, that already counted as achieving the operation's objective.
As for the subsequent theft of Helios District's security data, although it was certainly frustrating, at least they had suffered no further losses.
