Correct. They want legitimacy.

[ Silco understands it, or rather β€” Silco has certainly been nudging things on the council toward this end. Springstar pretended that they did not know that Kowloon existed, but they were still beneath them, and pretending that they did not exist had presented an opportunity for the former revolutionary. It's easy to draw the parallels to his own struggles, after all, though they did not work the mines for Springstar, they certainly kept the problems out. ]

After all, any deal darker than a few... mild drugs topside, or harmless larceny runs through here. We're the grease that moves between the two cities, furthering everything from entertainment to scientific discovery. We should have that all to ourselves, and the pressure of Springstar's boot prevents us from truly making Kowloon the best it could be.

The people agree with me, imagine that.

[ For as petty and acerbic as Silco is, roiling with irrational anger and rage, he was an eloquent man. A bully, for certain, but when it came to this, it came out, what Zaun actually had seen in him as a leader.

Then again, Zaun always respected its bullies.
