Darius is at one wound, and Baromir is also pretty hurt.  We can't take much more unless we're lucky.<br/><br/>Although now I wonder if the attack on the limo from the Chimera and the Sentinel's was serious or not?  They didn't seem to be using any weaponry that would really be able to seriously damage the battle limo.  Sure, the multilaser nearly burned Darius' arm off... but the limo itself seemed like it didn't take much damage at all.  They probably didn't expect such accurate return fire... but still, their attack, in retrospect, could very well have been another set-up.  (of course, both attacks could have been meant to succeed, or at least, if they had succeeded, the "Archbishop" could have simply had plans either way... to use us as martyrs if dead, and use us directly for symbols for his cult if alive... who knows?)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Mostly thanks to Tagan, but Id think Baromir might be able to make the connection about the poison and anti-toxin<br/>(especially since there are no DeTox side effects). Baromir is unsure at the moment and would simply like to keep his<br/>options open. Especially since a crusade would kill a lot of any illicit business we'd like to conduct on Ares. As soon as<br/>he and Darius have a chance to talk, Baromir will be able to make better assumptions about the archbishop.<br/><br/>Maybe we can use the archbishop's little stunt against him to leverage better terms, maybe use the Red Redemption<br/>on some pissant world with hardly any human influence, instead of Ares. (Extortion might be appropriate, but<br/>I'd rather a tool in the form of the archbishop over money)<br/><br/>I think the Archbishop was being rather ambitious (admirable, but very foolhardy). He was hoping to martyr me and declare a<br/>Crusade in my name possibly. It would have made for a lot of friction with Cortez, but once a Crusade is unleashed, its hard to<br/>stop. Seeing as how we are all still alive, the archbishop will be dropping bricks dealing with his surviving assassin contacts about<br/>trying to stop such a hard target as well as us, because I will intend on using him as a tool.<br/><br/>and i realize i wrote the same paragraph 3 times :P<br/>
