There is a great deal to think about in this chapter. My first impression of Timok for example is changing. He seems more like a slightly jealous best friend of Garjah with a twisted sense of humor, and not a subversive, evil villain. I think he needs his own man. Maybe Ases?
The main problem in the chapter is the plan to bring social change to this world. Getting Ases' mech is the first problem. It will not be as difficult as rescuing Garjah, but is not an easy task. However, the main problem is changing how the population thinks and feels about the current structure of their society, as well as their positions in that society. Just because the rebels have the means and evidence to prove what they say is true, doesn't mean they can change the minds of enough of the people to make the plan work. Millennia of programmed education and entrenched beliefs are going to be difficult to overcome in a short time. We can see that in the difficulties experienced in trying to reverse biases against race, gender and sexual identities. We can see that in how hard it is to change people's ideas on climate, economic systems and human rights. Preconceptions and beliefs are going to be the biggest challenge to the plan.
