Jade enters the conversation, having been silently absorbing information in a corner this time, his fingers steepled.

"We must keep in mind that not only their breach of the barrier, but what they did on the inside is indicative of a change in tactics brought about by Zompano. Instead of finding a way to wipe us out, they placed us in that dream state instead. I don't know how Zompano gained the pull he has, but it's still possible that he can be shifting the Cultists further."

Jade gives a shrug. "Of course, this is assuming Zompano isn't just being used as a pawn. Either way, the Cultists are becoming less perceptible. And thus, both a pro and a con arise from this action. The con, as young Elizabeth there voiced, is the possibility that they could in fact find a way to use this against us. At the same time, the pro is that we upset whatever plans they have - for once there's the opportunity for a pre-emptive strike against the Third Party. We have to examine this opportunity for what it is. It certainly is a rare one, at the least.

Of course, this also brings us back to the question of the bomb's capabilities, itself."
