This is a rather sudden and surprising turn of events! I am glad to see that Mr. Ross is safe and resuming his duties as the CEO of Omni-Tek Rubi-Ka. The Corporation will benefit from his... 'decisive' leadership just as it always has.
The scene that took place at the ICC Headquarters was rather interesting. It was clearly a power play on Ross' part. Anyone else would have, at most, put out a broadcast from their office announcing their return; an actual public appearance in Omni-1 would be considered bold considering the security risks. Ross not only travelled outside of Omni-1 to make his speech, but some of the "non-traditional" contents of the speech are viewed as rather, well, controversial by some. Only Philip Ross would be bold enough to consider an action like this. I think that the whole spectacle was set up by Ross so he could assert his authority and test the bounderies set by the Board of Directors.
Several clansmen have predictably noted the presence of the liason from Prime, and assumed that it meant Ross was being kept on a leash like a dog. Perhaps in some small sense this is true, but a more correct metaphor would be with Ross as a mastiff charging about while the liason, like a small child, is dragged behind as he desperately tries to hold on to his end of the leash. For better or for worse, the real Philip Ross is back and he has a very considerable amount of power.
