The first one is a valid argument, pointing more to the, at that time, inactive Preet and Alen, the second not so.
I tihnk you're overestimating Alens influence here, Tomice was cornered from all sides, I suspect he just went "fuck it, just send the PM and hope for the best or at least enough confusion that I can wiggle myself out somehow". In such a desperate situation I doubt he would even tihnk about Alen or whoever else the other Gs are.
