Excellent work, my friend! I really like the slow crawl to the confrontation. The negotiation part is always way better than the actual confrontation, I think. I really like the plan Matthias devised, if it were me I would've planned the same. Out of the newer ones, he has really stood out to me, besides Tyros. But, Michael? Ugh. I remember all those Michaels back in high school.

I'm really excited to see the wrench in their plans. I just know that you have a twist or two up your sleeve. Amazing follow-up, my friend! :D
