What I make of this is that there might be a change of leadership in Atlas, and Watts might try to influence it (to get power away from Ironwood). Any thoughts on this? Following Phantomlink's example, I'm also reposting an early post that didn't get any attention Well, we do have Robin Hill, the white-haired lady from Mantle who's running in the election. The citizens of Mantle have put up her posters everywhere, and they seem to think of her as a hero who will make things better for them.

Politics has a tendency to easily become heated, so if Robin is running against someone from the City of Atlas who poses a threat to the livelihood of the people in Mantle, then Watts could manipulate the situation to create conflict between Mantle and the City of Atlas over who should be on the Council.
