[There is another long pause before an answer comes, this time because Regis is needing to parse out the exact meaning of everything. He is a politician and historian, not a scientist. That is why reports--reports that hinted at the very information she is telling him, but never so clearly--stolen from the Niffs went to others before coming to him. People whose livelihood focused on biology and the like, instead of ruling a country. Eventually, he feels he understands it as well as he is going to be able to and leaves it at that. She understands the scientific aspects of her plan, and he has no doubt that Verstael does as well. The only part he really needs to understand is the very end and that is no different than what he is already doing.]
After the attack on Founder's Day, I began putting together plans for a new protective force. Before, I spread a few abilities to many soldiers, but it may be more prudent to find those who can better handle the full scope of the magical abilities the Crystal can give. They will basically be able to be my sword and fire in the field, even more than their previous counterparts. This will allow me to spend more time where it matters and give us a new way to slow the Imperial advance.
