A Threat Revealed
Seeing that the bartender was nowhere in sight, Kahlvyn reached over the bar and poured a shot of whatever whiskey he could find for himself and another for Magistias. He left a credit chip worth twenty on the counter and walked back, drinks in hand to where the question and answer session was on going.
Unlike Athena, he appreciated Carl’s concerns. A result of the training he had received. “Amateurs study tactics,” they had told him, “professionals study logistics.” One could have the moral high ground, a belly and head full of righteousness and a signed seal of approval from every god of Light but none of that would slay demons and monsters. Swords, arrows, rifles, bullets, armor, rations, vehicles to move rations and munitions, support personnel to repair, rearm, feed and heal warriors…those things were what won wars, not good intentions. Athena had responded to Carl's question but not really answered it. It sounded like she was asking for a long term commitment, not something that would be taken care of over the course of a weekend. That would mean Psycape, wherever it was and however big it was, would have to agree to supporting the needs, all the needs, of those it recruited to fight in this war. Was it able to do that? Did it possess the resources to properly equip and maintain everyone?
She had dodged answering the question directly though and Kahlvyn hadn't failed to notice that. It could be she had just given a snappy response, born of high emotion and righteous indignation at the question but then again, maybe not. Whatever the cause for her lack of a firm response, Kahl didn't want to press her about it at this time. He saw other questions that needed answers. The logistical concern could be returned to in a while.
He handed one of the glasses to Magistias, downed his own and set it down on a nearby table. Seeing as no one else was asking anything of Athena at the moment, he decided now was his turn. “Do these Harvesters have the same…durability as the Soulless? And the same weakness to psionics?” He then waited for her answers. He had more questions but he was being patient.
