You've read Sun Tzu?

[He'd been going off on a completely different line of thought, so the question catches him off guard.]

Wh-- I... yeah? Yes? I had a history teacher who referenced The Art of War a lot, so I figured I'd just, y'know. Read it. It was less than five bucks on Amazon.

[storyseeker]

Huh.

[That history teacher was either hardcore or a huge poser.]

Well, I'm pretty sure the Null haven't read it, for whatever that's worth.

[nonscriptum]

Pretty sure the Null are just covering their bases.

[It's valid theorizing, at any rate. Nate voted in favor of fucking the Null over because he doesn't trust them to honor their proposal.]

Using the old hosts they worked on as scouts is easy for them, like having sleeper agents they didn't know they'd use until we showed up again. I'm in agreement about the trade, I didn't like it from the start but it's the most dangerous scenario for us - and the most advantageous to them - they could be running.

[itsnotaonesie]

I could be over thinking it. I kind of do that a lot, honestly. Either way, this whole thing feels like a trap, but even if it isn't, like... You saw what the Null did to the hosts. Whether we end up going through with this trade or not, the Null are gonna end up with one of the gods, and they're probably gonna do the same kinda stuff to them.

[And that doesn't sit well with superhero boy over here. Peter isn't the gods' biggest fan, but nobody deserves to have to go through something like that.]
