hobie spent the necessary amount of time within a tyrannical system to learn its inner workings, subtly instigating and stealing guarded tech, all while agitating its leader with his mere presence. and when the system finally showed signs of imploding because of an anomaly, he skipped out just in time. not so he could ditch what looked like a difficult, unwinnable conflict, but so he could regather his resources and use what he stole to help put together a team of rebels. ones who are fully willing and capable of attacking the system from the outside and defending/protecting miles from miguel.
