KRUM: Admiral, I wish this did not have to take so long, but it must.
The safest, fastest option would have been to simply purchase Oisri outright from Gavcorps.
Clearly, they saw Oisri's weapon potential. We offered a very substantial sum. They wouldn't sell.
They did offer to sell the information they acquire, but without any promise of exclusivity.
KRUM: So... if we want the weapon and sole ownership of its secrets, we are going to need to break a few eggs.
EMM: A few eggs, Krum?
KRUM: Okay, all the eggs.
