I'll drag that result behind my GM's screen and work on the results!

Obviously I'll wait on the other PC's actions too.
Frank has been watching the discussion while leaning against the back of a chair and sipping a whiskey.
He stands, puts down his drink, and looks around at those assembled.
"I'm not imperial, I was born on Tarsus. I've made no attempt to hide the fact that I'm pro an independent 268, and sometimes that makes for strange bedfellows. I'm aware of the Imperium's feelings about the Zhodani and psionics in general, I've seen the holo-flicks. Historically, Tarsus accepted refugees fleeing from the Imperium in it's last purge, but prior to coming to Collace I've never met anyone with mind powers, that I know of. I've never had to fight someone with such powers, like some have here, and I fully respect those who have. Do psionics scare me? Truthfully, yes they do, but in the same way as any powerful weapon that can be deadly in the wrong hands. We are a mercenary company, it is part of the job that we take missions from clients that we might not agree with politically. We have allied ourselves with the Aslan, have fought alongside the Vagr, and our friends at 4DC have Lady Tourmaline, a powerful psionic. Is aligning ourselves with Erica and the Zhodani for a shared cause any different? Yes, there has been deception, and it is painful on a personal level, but it was done to protect, not harm. As a commanding officer I have had to omit information from the officers below me, to protect them and the mission." he eyes briefly flick to captain Domici and then return to scanning the room "It is not a pleasant thing to have to do, but it is sometimes necessary. I try to judge people by their actions, and Erica has assisted us in a number of missions, although I will admit often behind the scenes. Without her help it is hard to say whether we would have succeeded, or we may have lost more of our people. I will openly admit that I am biased in this discussion. I have sworn my own vengeance against Keening and SuSAG for the cold-blooded murder of the troops of the 1188th. However, I will not drag the SEMC into this as an unwilling tool of my vengeance. If we do this, ally ourselves with Erica and the Zhodani against Keening and SuSAG, then it must be with the agreement of the entire company, officers and troopers alike."

Which means Frank is mostly of Sword Worlder stock, perhaps with a bit of imperial blood in his veins as I'm sure there is some interbreeding between the groups since the relationship between them improved.
Not a huge amount. I do remember deciding (although I can't find a link to say I passed this on) that he joined the 1188th right after leaving school against his parents wishes. He's not spoken to them since, but he does speak to his older sister a few times a year.
One of my work colleagues has the surname "None" per US immigration due to...not having had a surname! Apparently, leaving the box blank was not an option!
