[It's okay, who needs to learn from their mistakes anyway? Not this lot, that's for damned sure.]

You're suggesting that we beat the Augur at its own game.

[Said contemplatively. It makes sense, but also raises a question she hasn't really considered yet.]

I wonder... thus far, there seem to be no limits to what the Augur will give in exchange for an Auspicious Act, provided that it meets certain... cost requirements. Is that because there's truly nothing it won't give us, or is it because nobody's asked for something that would endanger it or its purpose?

[Which seems almost ridiculous to say given that there are multiple weapons of mass destruction just chilling in the hangars, but does that suggest indifference or confidence? And if the latter, confidence in what? She falls silent to think, but doesn't come up with anything that sounds more likely than other possibilities, so she doesn't speak any of them for now, stashing them away in the pockets of her mind for further consideration when her mind is more clear.]

A thought for another time, perhaps. What manner of changes are you thinking could work in our favour?
