"Talk To Me..." Had Carlos Already Drank the Kool-Aid?
Dina:
Ooh you are right, I was confused. But Eb did tell him that before Thomas attacked anyone, so the point remains, why was the Council so wary of Harry even before Thomas did that. Also, what Ramirez did say on the beach is that people was impressed about Marcone maneouvering Nic and taking all what he had without breaking the accords. So apparently the Council did not know about Harry having the objects (unless they know better but Carlos is in the dark or lying).

Yes, and the way Eb was flying off the handle over it it sounded like back in Summer Knight when Harry was hauled up in front of the Senior Council and they wanted to demote him to apprentice and worse.

I thought Ramirez said the vote to put him under a suspended death sentence was unanimous.
The 'suspended' part either indicates the whole thing is a pretext to get leverage over McCoy, or was a concession Martha Liberty demanded in exchange for her vote. I think Harry scared her enough to lose her support, but she's on the fence now rather than fully committed to getting rid of him.

Well, you know what unanimous means to the Merlin means don't you? No quorum, no problem, he holds all the proxies and he knows all of them so well, he knows how they think and doesn't even have to ask them just how they'd like him to cast their vote... It's Proven Guilty all over again, Harry stood up to him and won the last time he tried to pull that. However I believe it was Eb who warned later that the Merlin wouldn't forget.. Well, he got his revenge.

He *thinks* he got his revenge, more like. The Gatekeeper did warn a Harry-Council showdown was coming, and if Harry builds the Paranet into an alliance while himself having the support of Winter and the Whites... the Council might just fall apart rather than confront him outright.
