[Diana is silent for a moment, thinking about what Mitch has said. This would be exactly what she was doing back home, but now it would take a political turn -- and she didn't know how closely this group would be affiliated with the government. She would agree to take on the position in a heartbeat, but she does make it a point not too associate herself too closely with any political party for several reasons. Still, she has to admit that she has far less influence here, and if she wanted the resources the City could provide, she has to compromise on their terms.]

I understand the political reasoning behind this, but how closely would this initiative be tied to the government? I have no qualms about being associated with your administration, but I would prefer working as an ambassador rather than as a government official.
