We keep one another's secrets. Whatever happened to that part of the oath? Though he doesn't ask in earnest. It wouldn't matter to Washington if it got in the way of what he thought was right and just.
There's nothing in that file that he means to keep secret, of course, but it's the way Washington demands, like he's earned any part of it, that sticks in Locus's craw. But then, his choices are limited. He knows that. Washington will attempt to make life here difficult for him if he doesn't cooperate, and Washington is well-established here, if he's telling the truth.
He may not hold rank, but his opinion may sway them all the same. And for some reason he thinks this will bear weight on his testimony.
That doesn't make it easy. It doesn't mean he likes it, that giving in. But it's the mention of the Legion that seals it. He has to prove himself worthy of that title? Fine. One gloved hand lifts, and a second later, the footage from the Communication Temple, beginning with the crash of the Pelican, is forwarded across the comm system.
