The Martial Unity

"Unfortunately, it's not enough," Rui murmured aloud, informing Kane of his thoughts. "The good news is that I know how to get more data."

"Do you intend to pull off the monster trick once again?" Kane raised an eyebrow.

"No," Rui shook his head. "It's unlikely that we can do something like that again. I got lucky with the python monsters being extremely heat-loving creatures, but there is certainly no way that we can possibly get that lucky again. Manipulating monsters this easily is extremely difficult and the python monsters were the first set of creatures that we ran into that were so easily manipulatable."

Rui didn't hold out any hope of being able to manipulate other monsters the way he did the python monsters. It was statistically too unlikely that he would have a way to manipulate the monsters of any other floors.

"Then what?" Kane asked. "You're not going to be able to get more data unless you figure something out."

"Don't worry," Rui replied. "Ironically, manipulating humans is easier than manipulating monsters."

Kane took a second to process those words, before realizing what Rui's plan was. "You intend to use Chairman Deacon's Martial Squires to get more data for you."
