Untrustworthy. It's a government organization made to control us, of course it is. I'm in the Alliance - I joined because it's illegal not to, and I can't exactly hide these. [Waving a tentacle.] They're very focused on public image, for better or worse. The Society grants its members much more freedom, but they're also much shadier in general.

It's gotten worse for the unaligned since I've been here. You should make whatever decision works for you, but none of the options are good.
