He pushed Gremlin

towards a promising lead

And then was ruled out as too dangerous. By me.

He didn't have authority over that decision.

Made a cowboy call.

No respect for chain of command.

Shit like that gets good people killed.

Gremlin got arrested by the IRGC because of Hassan Zamani.

So we put one of our own at inappropriate risk once

and got away with it.

Martian then gets it into his head,

immediately, to do it again?

And didn't run it past me. Why?

Because he knows I would never agree, so he cut me out.

That's insubordination and withholding of information

bordering, frankly, on mutiny.
