: Ah, I forgot about that. Hmm... Perhaps Calix Temporum reverse

: Wait, I had an idea. Lysander keeps going on about how the Achilles is

: Lysander isn't running around causing havoc. Perhaps Lysander's tricks

: factor.. (Namely, you and ol' Durnie: ) )

Although what you suggest is possible, I just don’t buy that the Dangi Board would be so cleaver as to anticipate an attack by a rampant AI and to counter this with an AI undergoing fake rampancy. Everything else seems to point to them having never anticipated your type of attack, and they were completely unprepared and in total disarray. Remember, too, Durandal states that rampancy is inevitable, and I tend to agree. What I guess that Calix Temporum reverse allocation refers to is an attempt by Dangi, perhaps even by Strauss himself, to counter CTS by rounding memory allocation back down. Didn’t seem to work, though.
