Meh, no use to me, Reliant.
Come back if you have some information I can use.
As for Thorin, it looks like he's going to have to choose which side he's on.
He could take Lieutenant Commander M'Real's side along with......um......well, no one else at this point.
Advantages: She's an investigator from Starfleet Intelligence, and her mother is an admiral. I suppose she has a few contacts.
Disadvantages: She won't be around forever, and teaming up with her would make him opposed to Rochey, which, as M'Real's finding out and Blackstar already found out, is not a good thing.
Or he could team up with Commander Rochey, along with Munro, Nameless Comms Lieutenant Guy and Mikey (to some extent).
Advantages: Having most of the senior officers, along with the XO, on your side is a plus. As long as you don't leave too many bodies behind, you can get away with most things.
Disadvantages: Teaming up with a pair of ruthless scheming bastards who're more than happy to sell you out if it furthers their own agendas.
Or he could just remain neutral, as Teaos and Reliant have done so far.
