"I would prefer we use Solosis to find, engage, and remove the Scimitar hounding after us or lurking in the shadows, once Nathan gets them to cooperate. If we take them out now, then they won't be a threat later on, we don't have to worry about them engaging us on their own terms and advantages, and we can explore Antheneum unmolested and without fear of them suddenly raiding the place mid-investigation.

But people, we don't know many of 'them' there are, and fighting outnumbered is something I'd rather not like us attempting in our fury and anger. Even if we defeat them NOW... What then? What if they have more spies ahead, what will they do once we defeated them, what if they'll come back afterwards? "

A quiet and calm voice within Shiva told her that they (the group) will have several days in advance in that case, and it eased her nerves by a little. Still, what if...

Another imprecible sigh escaped her, as Yena looked up to her while tilting his head. "But if all of us end up being for that way of dealing with ''em'... Risky.... I've been, well, thinking of heading forward and collapsing the cavern in a controlled manner to end them trailing us or at least massively delay ''em', but......."
