The "emergency protocol" line of defense for Striker's actions is outright defeated by Striker's own claim that the fleet under her control is an
ideal society that experienced a big improvement in achieving happiness.
Nothing suggests that Striker sees the current situation as just a temporary measure to face an emergency (which in fact doesn't exist).
