It was worth a shot.
“We’ll have Shatterbird working with us, thanks to Regent, and we’ve got Imp as our man on the inside, maybe.
Oh yeah, Regent’s control of Shatterbird ought to help a lot even without a hostage exchange. There’s a lot of firepower there.
We’re going to outnumber the remaining five or six of them, right? It’s not hopeless.”
Yeah. Difficult but not impossible!
“They’ll be ready for us. They’re entrenched, they have a hostage, and we’re totally unable to fight two of them. How long is it going to take to extricate Grue from whatever cage they have him in?”

“It’s not hopeless,” he repeated. “Whatever they’re doing to keep Grue prisoner, if I can see him, I can free him.”
…which means they’ll have taken measures to keep him out of line of sight, if they’ve figured out Trickster’s power.
