I'm pretty sure the dialog toward the end of the quest noted that that scientist was executed, despite his mental regression. So, not really a hanging thread. No "Tsuyu" treatment for him, it seems!

In regards to Elezenos, I did appreciate the unexpected callback to the Sahagin chieftain, who used the Echo to body-surf. Seems the Resonance can do the same thing, even if Zenos didn't explicitly intend it!

I do remember them saying that. It seemed unfair at the time and yes, even more so in light of how Yotsuyu was handled. Though perhaps my character's discomfort with how that was handled is exactly why she wants to see Tsuyu given a better chance.

I'm worried relations with Garlemeld are going to get worse if Zenos manages to keep his resistance soldier disguise and say, ruins any attempt at a ceasefire made at Ala Mihgo.

I can't get excited for another war, especially when they feel manufactured.

I doubt that would be the result if Xenos were to brazenly assault us in Ala Mhigo or whatever. If he comes after us, he'll likely come after us alone - after all, what he wants is a one-on-one confrontation with us, not a battle royale with many participants. He also doesn't seem at all interested in hiring on other Garleans; if he wanted to be part of the Garlean machine, he could have laid low, hidden his identity, and played along with the other Garleans. Instead, he slaughtered a soldier, and stole an airship. I'd say his Garlean bridges are burned at this point.

And if a single soldier barges in... A nation LOOKING for conflict, like the Garlean Empire, might eagerly jump at the chance to go to war over it, but the Eorzean Alliance wants peace. They'll be more interested in treating it as an isolated incident, a renegade Garlean soldier who just couldn't stomach defeat, or whatever. And if the renegade displays Xenos-like traits during his assault? The Alliance will be far more keenly interested in HIM than they will be in what uniform he's wearing.

If it were the other way around, a solitary soldier wearing Alliance colors and making an assault on the Garlean empire, I'd say you'd have cause for concern of it sparking another war. The Alliance, on the other hand, is much more vested in keeping things civil.
