18 Aftermath (2/2)

”The irony of the situation is that the place we're going probably contains the answer to the problem with the issue being we need the answer right now because of the trouble ahead that stands between us and the answer we seek,” he told Catherine mentally.

”I know that making runic weapons takes time, but can't you make some temporary ones like those exploding drones of yours?”

”I could try… but there are a few issues. There is a limit on how many things I can materialize, so if I make weapons for everyone, it limits the number of drones I can produce. With the progress I made in the last few days, I could probably pop out two more drones, bringing their number up to five. That is for the simple single rune model of course.”

”You could alternate between the weapons and the runes, no?”

”I could, but remember objects I create can be destroyed with enough force and it disperses the energy in the air. For drones, I can wait a few seconds to replenish the needed energy but were they to be disarmed in battle, they could be dead before the next weapon is ready.”
