[ Viktor not elaborating suggests that that too is a dead end. Cassian lets out a breath feeling annoyed on the man's behalf. He chews on the inside of his cheek trying to formulate any other kind of potential solution to Viktor's problem. He knew enough from Istredd's recounting of the events thus far that while the Summoned held some sway (enough for those in charge to think that tossing them into a kriffing crater was a good solution to stopping the storms), it wasn't enough to dissuade the territories from fighting altogether.
And if they as a collective couldn't achieve that then one man with a brilliant mind was unlikely to move the needle either. Seeing Viktor slump defeated across from him stirs something in him. There had to be something that they could do. If trying to walk in there and destroy the plans and whatever tech they did have was out of the question then - ]
