"Well first of all, capturing that many safe zones across an entire world in two days doesn't sound possible at all," I said. "And even if we somehow manage it, what stops them from taking everything back? How are just three of us supposed to hold that kind of ground?"
Lyrate didn't seem bothered by it, if anything she looked like she had been waiting for the question. "Good," she said. "That's exactly what you should be asking. And the answer to both of those problems is the system."
She shifted slightly, her tone turning more matter-of-fact. "The influence panel isn't just there to look pretty. It's designed to lock control. The more safe zones you capture, the more influence points you generate, and those points go right back into reinforcing them. Barriers, defenses, automated responses, layered control, everything you need to make sure once you take something, it doesn't just slip out of your hands."
I frowned slightly. "And covering the entire world?"
