“Then work with us because it’s the best way to stop the Nine.”
“I refused Hookwolf when he made the same offer, and I’m going to refuse you. The capes on my teams are good people. I won’t throw away their lives with a reckless attack.
Okay, that is a fair enough argument. But also, you don’t know the girl you’re talking to all that well. If Taylor plans it, it may not be cautious (Grue), but it won’t be reckless (Hookwolf).
It will be tactical.
We’re going to develop our own strategies, plan, and find a safe way to target them.”
“And civilians die in the meantime.” I retorted. Grue dies in the meantime, if he wasn’t dead already.
Acting fast would definitely be preferable.
I wonder what Legend is thinking in the background of Skitter’s and Miss Militia’s latest few paragraphs.
“We’ve tried the same strategies we use against Endbringers. Multiple teams, allying with locals. Sometimes we get one of them. Sometimes we get three or four. But we lose people, lots of people, in the process.
Because the Nine are good at dealing with those exact tactics.
The remaining members of their group always find some way of escaping. The fact that we tried and failed in going all-out gives them notoriety. They bounce back after an attack like that, and they bounce back hard, with creeps, lunatics and killers flocking to them for the chance at that same sort of glory.”
Miss Militia is making good points, though I do think Skitter still has some things she should point out. Like exactly how the ambush they did on the Nine worked, by not letting the Nine use their skills in dealing with crowds.
