That's the #1 consideration they should be making and they miss it.BALD are a scientific research villain outfit. They don't go for direct military conflicts - that'd be HERPES - so their methods and equipment are different. At least that's what I was reasoning when I wrote this story. The Squid Ship shouldn't have been easy to find either, but Mumph and Yuki hit the other BALD base and got the data neccessary to locate an otherwise untraceable major asset. Quote: To rule the seas, not the air, HERPES craft should at least be faster than anything out there. In an octopus, the U.S. or British Navy can simply chase them around the Atlantic until they run out of food and fuel.Sub-hunting is always dangerous though. Weird-science based underwater craft must be even harder to catch. Quote: Quote: At the moment there's not an emergency though, so he's got leeway to experiment. Things will change with the end of the current chapter.Quote: There's sure an emergency now...That little thing? | |||||||
