LOOK, PGC, YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEROES, SHE CAN'T JUST HAND YOU EVERYTHING, COME ON NOW.

But yeah, I really don't mind if Lightning is perpetually linefacey and somewhat mistrustful of Carmen, because by all rights she probably should be — moral or not, she's still pretty decidedly not a hero, and doesn't want to be. So basically, while she's never actually going to join the Corps, I'm in no way averse to having her pop up on occasion and support or inform for them, since they usually have a lot of the same goals, albeit coming from entirely different perspectives.
