“Call me an optimist,” Alec said. “I don’t think it’ll be that bad.”
Ooooptiiiimiiiist
I know it’ll work out in the end
As long as I’m living here
I’ll be an optimist
I am an optimist
“Taylor just reminded me of what I said about the bank robbery, and what wound up happening.” This from Brian.
What did Brian say about it, again? That it was high risk, low reward, right?
“We’ve been successful because we, by and large, pick our battles, go on the offensive, and catch our enemies off guard. In situations where we haven’t done that, and I’m thinking specifically about our fight with Bakuda, we really struggled. That’s when we came closest to getting killed.
Hm, yeah, this is a fairly good point.
Consider that we’ll be the ones on the defensive, if we’re holding this territory and taking on all comers.”
And it got even better when I actually finished reading it.
“We can work around that,” Lisa replied, “Plans, information gathering, pre-emptive attacks. I’ve got the inside info, and there’s nothing stopping Taylor from using her bugs to keep an eye on the neighborhood.
There we go again: Knowledge is power.
She also seems to be suggesting a “good offense is the best defense” strategy. Which, if you’re better at the offensive to begin with, can be true.
Besides, Coil didn’t say we couldn’t hire other parahumans, just that anyone who wanted to work in Brockton Bay had to bend the knee to him. So we could theoretically recruit other parahumans, if we needed to, bulk our forces.”
Start with establishing good relations with the Travelers. They’re also hired by Coil, and they’re heavy hitters that can help with that good offense we just discussed.
