        That remains to be seen. I personally think one side or the other must win out, and that will be when the opportunity presents itself, because they both need to exist for the empire to continue running. If one side wins, it will destabilize the entire project, and that is where opportunity lies.

        It’s not the in-fighting that benefits us, it is the assumed total victory against their greatest challenger that will leave them open.
