But what government exactly? In Ep 1 we had "The Principal" which I took to be in charge of Pioneer 2 -and took the view that Pioneer 1 must have had a similar structure, but in EP2 we get "The Lab" which has power seemingly on-par with the Principal, but, from the VR field alone, seems much more into the R&D side of things.
I figure Osto, Calus(the original who died on-route to Ragol) and the Graves were all on the "lab" side of Pioneer one, whereas Rico would have been on the Principal side (as, from her messages, she doesn't know what had been going on until she put the clues together herself) and Flowen was military with high enough clearance to be aware of what the top-secret stuff was while he was guarding people.
So, the Military get ordered around to protect people from unknown dangers -yes they'll want more weaponary
The Principal handles things like population/food/Hunters Guild/law enforcement, they probably care only so far as new developments directly affect them, but yes they would want the military/hunters to have the gear to protect the population
The Lab, it strikes me, does all the Research and Development and "science for science's sake" and given the high-profile scientists on Pioneer 1, they probably got to research whatever they liked. The Pioneer 2 Lab is likely more restricted
The question then comes down to is the Principal/Lab in control or is there another body/council we don't know about who call the shots and what did they order to be done?
