Thinking Bigger Picture

Outside New Eden, Alex, David, and Kary had finally finished planning their next few steps.

Kary would have loved to plan further ahead, but David insisted that it was useless.

"There are too many moving pieces at play here. Planning too far ahead could be just as bad as not planning ahead at all in this situation. We've done enough for now and can add a few more steps once the plan is in full swing."

Even though she hated that David was acting as the voice of reason, she couldn't fault his argument. She wasn't entirely confident in planning so far ahead, anyway.

'This isn't a game of chess anymore. It's turned into a MOBA. And the arena is too big, with too many players to calculate every outcome,' she imagined, calming her reticence down.

"In this case, I will bid you a good night, David. It's still three am, and I'm tired," Alex said, yawning.
