"That sounds like Bruns’s philosophy" And Bruns was close to Owen’s age "I wonder if Owen and Bruns knew each other before--" A thought popped into his head While the Colass hothouses in order for the man to produce Curare, Oould have needed funds prior to that endeavor Money to pay for his failed effort to recover the Ice Moon fro this takeover all along?

Color leaked from her face "Do you really think?"
"I’ve no idea if it’s possible But I’ Bruns and Oant control of who keeps their powers and who doesn’t Since thethe efforts Maybe the answer is in Ellis Moon’s notes"
They kept working
Yelena finished before Valek "Is this everything you found?"
"Yes Why?"
