It's like this.
You give an average senshi a gun and some orders and they go make it happen. Tell her to shoot that target, and she shoots. She doesn't have to ask why, or if it's right or wrong – so long as there's no big red flag waving above it, it's a valid mission. She might have some misgivings if it skirts the border, but she has to trust her superiors – it might seem strange or a little unusual a mission but it's also part of a much bigger plan, a picture that only becomes whole far above her pay grade in an office on a far away planet
That's her mission, and she completes it. She squeezes the trigger. If everything up the chain of command is kosher, she's not responsible for the consequences of where it goes.
Being a troubleshooter is different.
Being a Troubleshooter means having the power to choose to act. With the fate of the 'verse and hundreds if not thousands in your hands, you weigh the situation up and make the choice to pull the trigger.
Or not to.
And you know that each time you pull that trigger, somebody might die, and you made the choice to kill them. Just you.
Being a Troubleshooter, means being responsible for wherever that bullet chooses to go after it's been fired. The consequences are yours and yours alone to bear.
