Shinji: 
While this may not benefit you, i think i know how to work this out. I am currently in bad standing with the EDB. The council believes that I may not be an adequate leader, due to the length of the war between us and the Crimson Armada. Its dwindiling supplies and causing economical problems. If I don't end it soon, the alliances formed to create the EDB will separate, leading to a power struggle between the allies under the EDB for complete control. I'm essentialy keeping them in line, but they are getting ansy. If Unity defeats her, and they find out, it could very well mean the end of the EDB.
