"That's a good start," said Tim.  "I wonder if we could aim higher, though-- strike higher in the company.  Their soldiers aren't the problem, after all.  The problem is the ones who send them."

"What kind of ideas do you have?" Sunam asked. "I'm just the muscle after all."

"Targeting projects or the like at the higher levels, where they're still under development," said Tim.  "Shut down some of their schemes before they start.  Or wreck their weapons manufacturing, for that matter."

"Maybe you should talk with Bill, he usually makes the plans," Sunam said.

"I will," said Tim.  "...I'm glad that you're with us, though.  We clearly need a fighter as strong as you."

"Thanks! You're pretty good yourself," Sunam said.

"...still, not strong enough," said Tim.  "Not yet.  In time, perhaps..."

"No one's really done with that," Sunam said.

"Are they?" Tim asked.  "At their heights of power, I can't imagine getting stronger than my parents once were... I still don't know if I could approach them.  I only lack some of their weaknesses."

"We'll see when you get there," Sunam said.

"...I hope so," said Tim.  "I clearly have a long way to go, however."

"You'll get there, I'm sure of it," Sunam said.

"I hope so," said Tim.  "I have to.  But with strong people like you around me, I hope to gain by it."

"I'm sure I can teach you a thing or two," Sunam said.

"I'm looking forward to it," Tim answered.

The front door opened and Bill walked in.

"Morning all."

"Well-met," said Tim.  "Have we considered taking action at the higher levels against our enemy?"

"I mean, yeah, I just haven't found any good opportunities," Bill said.

"Ah," said Tim.  "Well, fair enough.  We'll hope one appears at some point."

"They are breaking ground outside the city to the north for a new reactor, from what my contacts tell me," Bill said. "We should try getting info on that."

"That sound promising," said Tim.  "Perhaps if we do enough damage, opportunities will open to strike at their heads."

"We should try hitting their north side location to get some more info on it," Bill said.

"Agreed," said Tim.  "When should we?"

"I'll have to let the other two know," Bill said. "Would you be comfortable with tonight?"

"Of course," said Tim.
