"It was a good thing that Flynn was in charge, and not me" Amos admitted. "All I could think was how I had failed Wendy, and the woman that Irina had killed. Trying to imagine what Wendy was going through. And shocked how coolly Irina admitted the killing and what she was making Wendy undergo. She only shrugged.

"yes. She is always trying and being punished for it."

"What does she do?"

"She makes fuses explode, she creates illusions so that Crandall will trip and fall. She starts fires."

"And you let him direct you?"

"As he said, he knew what he was doing while I… I just stumbled along. I commented a bit irritated that he knew more about these things than I did, in spite of being …what I am."

It is just not me. It is the whole organization. It is the research carried out by hundreds of men and women through centuries. What you know, you know only from personal experience. I know because of all the people who came before me and recorded what they knew. I am not just a man. I am one of many, all sharing the same knowledge. So, it is normal if I know more than you do."
