“We use the same strategy we used to fight Aegis,” Brian said.  “When fighting an opponent who won’t go down, you run, you distract, you occupy them with other things, and you contain them to buy yourself time to do what you have to do.”

Distractions seem like the only part of this that might work on Siberian. Running is hard to do against an enemy with Siberian’s speed, and it’s gonna be incredibly difficult to contain her. Bakuda’s time bomb might work to take her out, but the Undertravelers don’t have access to that.

He was right.  It just wasn’t ideal.  Avoiding or containing them was easier said than done, for one thing, and it was less an answer than a stopgap measure.

Yeah.

“We’ve addressed the most pertinent crisis, then,” Coil said.  “Is there anything else?  Any ideas or requests?”

“I had an idea,” Aisha said.

Ooh, what’cha got?

No,” Brian said.  “I know what you’re about to say, because we talked this over.  It’s a bad idea.”

“Let’s hear it,” Trickster spoke up, leaning forward.  Brian scowled, and Aisha smiled wickedly.

Judging by Brian’s behavior last Arc, it might be a bad idea because it puts Aisha specifically in danger.

“The biggest threat from these guys is that they could strike at any time, from any direction.  So why don’t we spy on them?  We find out where they are, and then we keep tabs on their movements.

Yep. She’s the perfect spy, and Brian doesn’t want her to go wandering into the enemy’s lair like that.

I can handle one shift, Genesis does the next.  They won’t notice me, and Genesis can stay concealed.”

She can? …I suppose the spying tactic from the Lake Heroic meeting, a small form, counts towards that.
