We have a brief chat and you go on your way. I'm only trying to determine just what it is our leadership is up to. They won't tell me directly or show me what I want to see but I imagine you can. If they're honestly pouring all our resources and effort into you...visitors. They tell me this is necessary and they tell me this is what we all need...

[Lyle sighs and his mouth tightens.]

You've seen this city. You've seen its people and its streets. Do you think all we need is some ill-defined solution that relies on an artifact we barely understand?
