<em>Thank you, Huntress. Yes, I am going to play a risk game here. Hers were ahead in two areas, both in sheer destructive capabilities, but neither were instantaneous or subtle. I am ahead in several other areas, namely detection, subtlety, innovation, and a few more. If she does get ahead with these samples, which I should be getting identical copies of, then it is because she was going to get ahead any ways.</em><br/><br/>He sighed, rubbing his forehead, before shrugging.<em>Besides, I am nearly at the end of my rope here without any samples. If I do nothing, my innovations will come to a near stop, a crawl of frozen molasses. If I do nothing, I will fall behind, though I have no intention of revealing that. I have MAYBE five more years before that happens at the earliest. Ten at the absolute maximum. I have been faking it to conceal it from spies, but, well, now you know.</em>
