"I was selected for another reason, besides my connection to my mother, but I can see what you mean," Nina said, taking a moment to scan the chess board. Julian had done a good job of building quite the fortress for his king. She wasn't going to strike at the fortress just yet. For now she was going to work on taking out Julian's current last means of offense, his queen and a lone bishop. "It makes me wonder how many more pilots are here because of their family reputation. ...not that I'm saying you wouldn't be hear because you didn't deserve it or anything."<br/><br/>Nina's plan after she had captured the queen and the bishop, however long and what sacrifices she had to make to rid the board of them, would turn to forcing Julian's king into the check mate through pinning pieces that protected the king from retaliating against her offensive, so that if they moved, it would mean putting the white king into check.
