Waypoint Pricing
Maybe she approached the Arcane Council and said that if she won, she would fund research into how the reactor blew up in exchange for them making waypoints cheaper for a time?
Maybe Kiel has ‘’very interesting’’ specimens or objects that would make the oldest asura researchers glee.
Maybe Bribery, she is on the pirate council after all.
Are waypoints even acknowledged by the official lore? I thought they were just a gameplay convenience.

Waypoints are officially recognized by the lore… and I also think Jaymack’s answer is probably the right one.
Odd that I missed it until just now.
I would agree with the funding research into why it happened if it wasn’t for the fact that during any of the given paths of Asuran story (I have done them all) it is mentioned several times how the Arcane Council likes to sweep stuff under the rug and not acknowledge things such as failures. So I cannot see why they would agree to acknowledge the need to research why the reactor blew. If there was something into say funding a clean up then that is fine because having the lesser races deal with it is much more appealing then having to do it ourselves. But this isn’t the case.
They don’t want other people to know . It doesn’t mean they don’t want to know it themselves.
Making it public like this with an election kinda lets everyone know.
