Silence.
The Nightmen grew excited.
They had done it!
And more importantly, they were still alive!
The solar system was theirs!
Infinite resources!
Nobody could stop them now!
Meanwhile, Daniel looked at the Duskbringer carefully.
"You're the Duskbringer, right?" he asked.
"I am," the Duskbringer answered.
"I thought… Nick scrapped you," Daniel said. "He said that you are a failed project and that he would no longer give you Pure Energy."
"That was a lie," the Duskbringer said. "I… Nick has not gotten rid of the Pure Energy tax. He just reduced it from 50% to 30%."
"But I saw you! You were not this strong-"
Then, Daniel realized something.
"Illusions," he said.
The Duskbringer nodded. "An illusory coating. I- Nick didn't share every technology he knew with you."
