So, we have a problem.
This character could exist as a civilian contractor of sorts. But Wes has said very clearly he does not want civilian contractors. However, this exact situation, within the confines of SAINT and a Taii-ranked character, has occurred before with Kotori and Yukisato Mizuho.
I never got a crystal-clear answer as to whether Kotori somehow had permissions that Helen, who runs a SAINT ship, does not, or if Kotori was just acting illegally and was a) never caught or b) was caught and not punished.
That's why I'm keeping my question specific here. We know the U.S. military hires contractors all the time, but Wes, for some (good) reasons, doesn't like this practice.
So, if possible, I'd like some clarification on this point, and some reasons why.
