To be sure, if - IF - I went this route, the "reasoning with" would, at least at first, involve Lucas outright high-stakes intimidating the guy. Basically I planned to show some key flaws Lucas does have.
If the time thing is known online and/or some less savory people know about the moon access thing, I also have some stuff planned; said stuff would be meant to showcase just how far Lucas is willing to go to pursue her goals and to preserve her freedom.
Disclaimer: I am NOT pitching this alternative or any other. My char already has had plenty of moments of awesome, and I will NOT try to impose more Wagnerian stuff. IF this adds to the story, I will do it, and I will only do it IF this adds to the story. I am, in short, NOT trying to get MORE stuff for my character unless it REALLY works and you are all in agreement. :)
