More than anything, we must be prepared to adapt. There should be someone who can seem as if he's untrustworthy so that he can be excused from that. This is where Murphy might excel. Being obvious will paint a picture of what someone might expect. [This is something that is both praise and the very opposite of that. If nothing else, she at least respects the fact that Murphy survived the chaos in the wake of her passing. It might have a purpose here.

Essentially, she's saying that Murphy can be their Varys.]

I'm better served as an official, and one that is willing to do what I must to protect my people. Our face should be that of someone hoping to find an alliance so that we can survive without being swept away and forgotten in this war. In the end, there's some truth to it as who we are as Hosts: we are here to end the Enemy so that they can pose no threat to us or our people. Whether that means the Nest or the people we left at home doesn't matter. It's up to you, and there's enough truth to it.

As it is, if anyone has a problem with following me, even for the sake of the mission, we can work that out before we leave. [She's capable of being a diplomat, but one with a great deal more power than her ambassadors were accustomed to, so it's better for her to be in a more powerful position. If nothing else, she knows she'll act that part perfectly.]
