Coil added, “She took a week to decide, then contacted me during one of her attacks.”
Okay, no, this part I’m sure is a lie.
Of course, the heroes weren’t about to take his word for gospel. Miss Militia’s lips pursed into a thin line. “Could I contact her to verify this?”

“No. For one thing, I have no reason to let you. Also, the process of gaining control of her power requires that she be kept strictly isolated from outside elements. A simple phone call would set her back weeks.”
Oh, sure.
“So Coil has a precog,” Hookwolf growled, “That explains how he always seemed to fucking get the upper hand when he pit his mercenaries against the Empire.”
Well, it’s part of it.
