This strip should restore your faith in humanity, with one simple trick!
[Reminder: Our guest commentators have not seen Rogue One. Part of the fun is seeing how their untainted impressions re-interpret the movie through the lens of our comic.]
Mon Mothma would be the type to fall for the clickbait.
On the plus side, it seems like this possibly resulted in a good outcome? Maybe?
If only Bail were here, he'd straighten things out real quick. He also strikes me as the clickbait-proof type.

I am kind of curious as to why the GM decided to insert these strips of all GM conversation in time order, and not hold them back to the end of the campaign when he's filling in the gaps. After all, the live campaigns had exactly that mechanism. Perhaps because it is a recap, for the benefit of the new player, and he's trying to minimize the confusion.
Other than that, we have the standard question: what constitutes an official meeting? When is a gathering of officials just a meeting of friends, and when is a gathering of officials an official gathering? At what time does a quorum matter, and when does it not?
So, we now have the decision to launch the fleet.
Against a shielded planet.
Well, it will increase the distraction level.

Mon Mothma: Oh em gee, I want to hear this.
Tenzigo Weems: The intermission commission have made an announcement, and it will change your life forever!
Mon Mothma: Go on.
Tenzigo Weems: General Dodonna has declared: "Your perambulating constitutes an official auxiliary meeting." And you'll never believe what happened next. Do you want to hear more?
Mon Mothma: Clicky!
Tenzigo Weems: Any decision you reach out here is part of the meeting, and therefore official.*
General Draven: Ooo-kay then. Support troops to Toprawa incoming.
General Draven: {to Blue Leader} General, launch the fleet.
Mon Mothma: Like, totally awesome, like!
