yessssss. WOULD LANCER STICK HIS HEAD INTO THE HALL IF HE OVERHEARD KEITH'S YELLING about the RAC having to do what they can!! or would he have to be asked specifically? mostly i'm amused at the idea of an escalating chain where, in a single night, keith (i) breaks into the wrong apartment, nearly gets shot; (ii) hits koon's apartment, who charmingly says fuck off and boots him out in like five minutes; and (iii) finally wrings a yes out of a total stranger who heard him through koon's wall being a shit about ~ keeping westerley safe ~ --




but that stranger's lancer, and you don't get much worse than e-rank luck. ):

because the main reason he'd want a level 4 with him on a level 1 mission's because he's hoping to collect a swathe at once, and he needs someone to authorise him to use force.
