And about Luria's betrayal of the Moot....
Yeah, super low. In hindsight I shoulda' seen it coming, but I didn't. Hireshmont really thought Solari really liked him.
Now he feels like the ugly girl at the dance.
Terran's only real hope is that something geopolitical will change before Aurvandil can consolidate the gap between Terran's southern border and their northern border, and thereby remove the Great Wall of Hunger.
But however this ends up, Hireshmont's career may very well be over. He's a "fall on his sword in disgrace" kind of guy (which is totally the heroic equivalent of ragequitting, btw).
