chapter 12 - betrayal

As soon as Kota made it back to Trikru, she marched right into the throne room.
To her surprise, Lincoln was already in there along with Anya. He was treating her bullet wound as she explained what happened on the bridge to the Commander.
She was so enraged by what occurred at the meeting that she just continued right past them and up to Lexa.
"Do you realize what you've done?!" She shouted rather boldly. "A war will be inevitable now!"
Her voice caught the attention of the others in the room and soon enough Indra stepped directly in front of her.

Dakota scoffed and shook her head in bewilderment.
"Commander, I don't know what my brother has stated of me but I never denied being on the side of Trikru. Shouldn't you be proud of the fact that I was able to form such an alliance with one of their people? I was able to gather enough info on them to inform you of all the—"
