You’re right nite, 1224 did not “suggest”. They said it was an absolute.
The suggested Grandfather “offer” only came much later.
But the well was poisoned beyond repair when 1224 threatened to “…scope you (ATI) out of existence. You’ll be a 4 plane Combi operation when it’s done.” when their demand that ATI support a “merger” was rebuffed. Why was the offer rebuffed you might ask? Because 1224 said Home Basing in its entirety had to go.
