He forgot one potential ally, but she's not even on Earth. She also might put up a much bigger fight than he'd imagine, so it's probably better she's far away.





The Carnifex' sponsors have to find Faite first - she's really good at being scarce.

I guess I should point out how she manages that, because it's really simple. Faite's only ability is to tamper with things that are occurring right now (as opposed to the Hooded Hood, who tampers with history). She can disappear easily by deciding not to be here for a set amount of time. For that period of time, she doesn't exist - those who have seen her will remember her because she can't tamper with the past. But she simply won't be there for a time.

Therefore Faite's greatest enemy would be a patient one, someone who would plan carefully and hold out longer than she is willing to disappear for. It also opens the possibility for an enemy of hers to force her to disappear so she can't interfere with their plan.





Are any of those attached to Faite this time?





From the human point of view, there's just one person who knows the secret to making Anna work the way she does (SPUD tried to make a duplicate but failed, and ended up with an intelligent but not nearly independent android - and they had the blueprints), and it involved some level of human interaction that Utilizon isn't capable of. Then again, he kind of wants the intelligent but not nearly independent version.
