Faced with differing messages from Holy Terra and Mars, who should Robert trust?
Of course, he trusts no one!
From the current situation, it's clear that something has gone wrong.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly who's at fault without adequate information, but Robert decided to see for himself.
To protect himself and avoid falling into a trap due to issues on Mars, he carefully led his fleet forward, maintaining formation, and deployed numerous scout ships for reconnaissance.
Eventually, it became apparent that the problem was indeed with Holy Terra.
The forward-most scout ships witnessed as war unfolded on Holy Terra!
Robert closely monitored the situation, demanding all frontline intelligence be sent directly to him.
From this intelligence, Robert felt that the war currently occurring on Holy Terra seemed to be not an 'external' invasion, but rather an internal upheaval.
But this made it all the more strange.
