Chapter 670 – Protection
Nick couldn't be completely sure about what the Technician meant.
That could basically mean anything.
The Technician seemed to wrestle with himself about what he should tell Nick and what he should keep secret.
"I can't tell you a lot," the Technician said. "These are secrets that are even more important than the Nightmare's location. It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't trust your power. There are ways to read your mind or your reactions that you can't resist. You're like a lockbox made of wood. I trust that you won't throw your contents up, but I can't trust you to withstand the force of a big guy with a big hammer, you know?"
Nick just nodded.
The Technician kept thinking about what to tell Nick and what to keep secret.
It wasn't easy.
"How would you define Aegis?" the Technician suddenly asked.
Nick furrowed his brows.
