That gave the others pause.
Yeah, that kind of betrayal is not something you accuse Dragon of lightly.
Especially since nobody wants to think about how much trouble they’ll have if Dragon turns on them completely.
Not that she can, but they don’t know that.
“Dragon’s record of service has been exemplary,” Legend spoke.
“It has. And we’ve put an inordinate amount of trust in her as a consequence. How many of our resources are tied into her work? If she had a mind to oppose us, would we be able to deal with her?”
Well, nobody except Piggy, I mean. And she’s right, Dragon would have a lot of power if she could turn on them completely. And she could probably work around her limitations to at least inconvenience them a bit if she really wanted to.
“We have no reason to think she’s done anything.”
Maybe that’s exactly it, maybe she hasn’t done anything to try to track Colin.
Emily waved him off. “Regardless. Very little of this situation remains in our control. Armsmaster is gone, the other major players are members of the various factions, and we remain in the dark about who many of them are.”
Not to mention how the factions interact.
There were nods all around.
She had them listening. “I have a solution in mind. The higher-ups have approved it. Clockblocker, you’re going to be using your power defensively if things go south.
Makes sense. For one thing, he’s the only one here who could stop Siberian.
They aren’t patient enough to wait for it to wear off. You can protect yourself by using your power on a costume you’re wearing, yes?”
Huh, that’s pretty clever.
I wonder if he thought of that before or after Agitation. Maybe it was inspired by Skitter trapping him in a case of his own power.
