Last Episode: You rescued Wren from the People Of Joy. She's intact, and in one piece. That one piece being her head.

"So, the boxes soak up the Clean Energy, and keep it from killing everyone inside the RV." Ray says. "And they get initial power from Lupa, and the other's, presence."
"Correct." Gaft says. "And after that, they should power themselves."
"Why didn't the People of Joy use these?" Ray asks.
"By the time the absorbers are functional running off of just ambient Clean Energy," Wren says, from her box. "You would be dead from exposure."
"What about those augmented people like Amelia? Or those Small Joys?" Ray asks.
"It's still too much for an augmented to survive, and a Small Joy trying to fuel the absorber would most likely burn themselves out, and then die." Gaft says.
"Which is what they're going to most likely do, now that they've run out of options." Wren says.
"Why didn't they just do that first?" Ray asks. "Since they want into OLYMPUS so badly."
"Because it wastes resources." Wren says. "Look at this scenario, the only windfall for them was coming upon Ruin's people. The rest has been them losing resources and key assets, that they cannot replace."
"Now, instead of marching into OLYMPUS with their army, they'll have a token force. At best."
"But we still have to deal with the army that they have AROUND Olympus." Ray says.
"They're here." Pytor says. He stops the RV, and heads out, giving Wren's head, yet another, disbelieving look.
You've just been quiet the whole ride. Sitting and thinking about what Wren said. What it means, and what you're going to do.
