Every official in the hall heard the exchange between Daniel and Governor Loka.
Their reactions varied. Many were reluctant to accept that almost all the merit would belong to Daniel, while they received only the remnants of the campaign. However, none dared object.

Loka prepared an official report describing the destruction of the main Tribulation-Ash Army and the local government's responsibility for eliminating the survivors. He handed the document to Daniel, who pressed his Supreme Commander's seal onto it with the token issued by the Holy See.
