It did mean she had Flechette, Clockblocker and Vista. The ones she needed.
You don’t need Weld?
Do you have a plan that specifically needs these three’s powers?
“Thank you. Rest assured, Chariot, Kid Win, that I harbor no ill will.”
I appreciate that there’s no attempting to convince these two. Piggy explicitly stating that she doesn’t blame them also helps.
“My mom wouldn’t forgive me if I went,” Kid Win said.
Apparently she still allowed Kid Win to make the choice for himself, given that she allowed this to be brought up. Good parenting.
“I understand. Now, the Nine are only one threat. Let’s talk about the others.” She clicked the remote again. “Tattletale’s Undersiders have the advantage of information.
Interesting. It could just be because Tattletale is important to the point about information (do they know that yet?), but it seems like they’ve interpreted Tattletale as the leader of the group.
Early on, I considered Grue and Tattle as having a sort of joint leadership, which eventually turned into an official leadership by Grue after Skitter’s advice in Buzz. But right now I actually think Skitter’s second in command, the one who would take over as leader if Grue were incapacitated.
We still don’t know her powers, but we can speculate that it’s a peculiar sort of clairvoyance. She was able to provide us detailed, verifiable information on Leviathan after fighting him, even though she was only participating for several minutes before being knocked out.”
Yeah, you’re not entirely wrong.
There’s also the information they stole from the Protectorate, which the PRT doesn’t know was shared with Coil and the Travelers.
She paused. “I believe this is why, in a matter of twenty-four hours, they were able to fight the Nine twice and win both times. On the first occasion, they captured Cherish and Shatterbird, presumably enslaving the pair.”
While Tattletale was probably great help in the planning, she didn’t actually do much during the execution.
