The Moshea's turn around?
Did anyone else feel that the Moshea's bloody-mindness during her rescue (and anger right after) felt forced? Every other interaction you have seem to paint a woman that feels saving/serving the Anga...

she likely viewed it as saving a few resistance fighters now, vs saving all the angara that were going to be turned into kett during the base's operational lifespan. doesn't make a lot of sense, but how many traumatized people actually make sense at any given time?

I am curious, how come you don't think her point of view of thinking the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
I have never decided to detonate the base personally so I disagree with her, but I personally felt like she was making total sense. Why do you think she wasn't?
two things, the assumption that bases elsewhere wouldn't pick up the slack, or that additional bases would not be constructed or converted. in my opinion destroying the base wouldn't have spared more people form exaltation, might have even sped it up.
and second, under my original assumption above, you'd be spending more angaran lives for basically nothing. or at best a short reprieve.
but, that's just how i see the situation.
---edit
i guess i should also note that we're never told if there are more than one single exaltation facility, i think logically if exaltation is so vital to the kett's existence, and they've got the capacity to create enough kett to keep the war-effort moving, there has to much more then just that one, there have to be several, i'd even bet there's several such facilities on voeld itself. though i've got no proof, just logic, common sense, and my eyes.

if you're asking why the kett cardinal was pleading so seriously, and willing to make a bargain? it's simple psychology. to me it seems the facility is like some kind of religious temple, as well as an exaltation compound. she's pleading because the structure itself has religious significance. like a mosque, church, or a cathedral.

Hmm, I never thought about it that way. Thanks.

That would also rationalize the quick Kett response with overwhelming force. We're not attacking a prison or just another outpost; we're attacking a church/nursery/way of life.

The question is do the Angara need the facility destroyed more or do they need a bunch of their best soldiers, scientists, etc. more. Either way, needs of the many vs future gain/loss.
Also, somewhere prior to the assault on the exaltation facility it is mentioned that there are several facilities and the Angara leave them alone because they have never successfully attacked one, and they have taken a lot of losses trying
