well i don't know about the minerva joining the arch angel and eternal... i mean it took the ea sacrificing the arch angel and a whole fleet before the AA left ea. the chairman would have to do something pretty obvious and blatant before that would happen. and even then her crew mates would have to whole heartedly agree with her.... i mean besides almost being killed by your country or whatever zaft it.... i just don't see any other way to get the whole hearted support of her ship. but maybe somehow they'll turn on the chairman.... or at least part of the crew defects.
