\"Our decision to join the Association may, at first, seem strange. It is true that we have much to gain from trade with the Solars, and that the radical transhumanism of Angessa's Pearl is not our way. But I will remind you that it was Shelf, not Sol, who ensured our prosperity just over two decades ago-- who safeguarded our independence and prevented us from falling to barbarism and dictatorship. We owe it, not just to Shelf but to all the members of the Almach Rim, to support their independence just the same. And that, my fellow Relanians, is the crux of it all. The Association is a revolution, at the heart of it all, and many of the now-independent states were owned near-outright by Trans-Stellar Corporations until the Association allowed them to shake out their fetters. What right do we have to sit by while just a dozen light-years coreward newly-born republics suffer the growing pains of independence? What right do we have to bask in our own stability when our neighbors, our comrades in ideology, are struggling with a cruel blockade proposed by politicians back on Earth and Luna? That is why we must join with them, guard them, and guide them, for as long as need be.\"\

While other pods from the Song Shi may still be traveling through SolGov space, it is considered unlikely based on both Futura and Salvo's account of the number of pods launched before the Song Shi was destroyed. Both were detained by staff at the NLS Southern Cross, who managed to prevent a violent altercation from breaking out between the two armed and disturbed servicepersons.

While the research in question was believed to be destroyed, there is reason to suspect that it instead made its way into the hands of current Association leaders.
