Nell is probably on the side of keeping the Archon alive because (1) fuck the Venatori, we should not give them anything they want, and (2) politics? probably? The Inquisition can't really afford to get another leader dead even if it's one nobody liked, and maybe he'll turn out to be helpful somehow. He could always get "unfortunately" "assassinated" by "Venatori" later, after all. She could potentially be swayed by compelling revolutionary rhetoric to the contrary, though.
In terms of big-picture what happens in the scene: I'm in favor of naval battle, I'm cool with the Galicia folks getting pulled off quick so they can help fight or fighting on their own and being rescued from a watery grave, whichever.
My one main suggestion is that we do the "what happens to the Archon, do we parlay, does the Walrus come out of hiding or not???" conversation IC as a network post because I think that would be a fun argument to get to play out, and a great way to quickly build CR among this big group of very diverse characters. It can't drag on forever because there's the IC time pressure of the Venatori ship waiting for a response, but it'd let everyone shout about it for a bit.
