The Military and the government had different functions and jurisdictions. This time, Director Quinn had Miles Sherman make the report mainly to get a head start.
Had the Military been in charge, the whole operation would have been delayed by at least half a day.
With Miles making the report, however, he could directly access surveillance and information with maximum speed.
Sure enough, as soon as his call with Director Quinn ended, Miles Sherman immediately contacted the government official who had been in charge of the Planet B36 incident.
The official on the other end immediately granted them authorization.
Before, they likely wouldn't have been comfortable entrusting Miles Sherman and Zoe Pierce with such authority.
But now, Zoe Pierce and her team were privy to the entire Planet B36 incident. They had previously represented the Federation in a victory, and the matter itself was so highly classified that no one on Harvestfall had the clearance to know about it.
