Third History Lesson
[After that little hostage situation, Jeremy can be seen walking around and wearing slightly more than he usually does. Along with his pants, he's also wearing... bandages. A lot of medical bandages wrapped around his midsection. Turns out that quite a few ribs had been cracked when he'd been squeezed roughly, with nothing but the power of HAM keeping him going. He's not looking too happy though.]
Wearing all this excess material... it's almost as if I'm being smothered!
[So says the man who can count the number of times he's worn a shirt in the past year on one hand. But there's more on Jeremy's mind though, and when he returns to one of his preferred reading spots, he's cracking open two books. One: The Art of War. Two: one volume in a multipart series covering the actual events during the conflict popularized in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The stuff with Gucun's making him want to start from the ground up, and hopefully find a way to help Cheng by turning to one of the past's biggest accounts on chronic backstabbing.]
Han Zhi is nothing more than a usurper and a despot, his public support be damned! He is not the first man in history to stage an uprising such as this, and many that came before him have failed in time.
I will not give up. I will not see the troubled tale of Gucun end in such a way as this!

[She approaches the copy of The Art of War that you've got open.]
"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate."
Huh. Those guys must be using the same book.

An if I can understand Han Zhi's next move, perhaps we can still save Gucun.
no subject
But this book is pretty much saying that if we know their plan, we'll plan around that. So they'll plan around the plan that we're planning around.

If Han Zhi wished to engage in that game, he would have to account for every strategist onboard the Chalice... and he will no doubt be most concerned with what he thinks Cheng might do.
Whereas I merely need to plan for what Han Zhi might do.

That's awesome!

And last, but not certainly not least, there's the abilities I can bring to the table as a former Adventus general in helping organize this counterstrike.

Don't tell me...does that mean you're secretly keeping minions somewhere?

Having a robot with boss stats would help a bunch.
