I can just imagine Raynor trying to explain he's just a train-robber-turned-lawman, and that he doesn't want any sort of political power.
Random Inner Sphere citizen: He's Perfect.
Days later, Matt Horner goes to Raynor after taking the time to read into the history of the reality they are in.
Matt Horner: You say that like its a bad thing. Problem is that being a train/convoy-robber-turned-lawman/despot seems to be the prerequisite to becoming the first leader of a starting polity. As far as they're concerned, such activities are considered a timed and honored tradition that stretches past the founding of the Star League and even the Great Houses themselves. The people will demand that you do a few of these raids from time to time as if it was a campaign promise that they intend to keep you to it.
Tychus Findlay: Just when you though you got out, they pull you back in.
Raynor: But there was no election campaigning or election to begin with.
Matt Horner: The destruction of the pirate fleet and liberation of their planet was campaign enough for them. Though I suspect some of their adamancy is coming from their need of a strong leader. Not the fault of Governess Victoria for being dealt a really bad hand but you either have a strong leader or someone else will take that spot. You're their better alternative.
Raynor: ...
Matt Horner: You probably don't want to hear this but it would be a dereliction of duty as your second in command and friend if I didn't mention this. There will be letters asking for you hand in marriage. A political union with a rising star like yourself is the norm. Don't be surprised if the Governess also has a letter of her own.
Raynor: I fought in the Guild Wars on the side of people like this. Now I have to be one of these sons of bitches.
Tychus Findlay: And mistresses. Don't forget about the mistresses.
Raynor: No one likes a smart ass Tychus.
Tychus Findlay: Well I like myself. I like myself so much that I'll just mosey off and find me a strip club to treat myself properly.
Walks off but before exiting the room, he says.
Tychus Findlay: Once you get yourself off this funk, you should join me. Might be the last time you do before you -heh heh- tie that knot. -laughs histerically-
Raynor: Well fuck you too!!!
Tychus Findlay: I will! I will! Its not like Tychus Findlay to leave a lady unsatisfied!
Raynor: OH YOU SON OF A BITCH! COME HERE SO I CAN BREAK YOU IN HALF!
