I was rewatching some of the show since it is on netflix now and I still all these years later do not entirely get the james/scylla storyline, cause okay like why couldnt he just tell the truth to michael from the start that he was working with gretchen to take down the company, why come up with the fake coordinates story. Also I dont get why the general needed him specifically or even to make a copy of it to begin with, if this was told I missed the scenes.

Maybe one of you can clear this up for me.
