Thanks for the wise words, Professora Mentora. I'm definitely with you
on the lesson--especially the planning ahead part. As I go over the
situation in my head, all I remember is that he appeared on my radar as
a pissed off person. It seems that from the moment he met me, he didn't
like me and I spent the next several months parrying his attacks. It
was a losing battle. I've since learned that he and all the people he
hired to duplicate and replace my team with have been recently let go.
Planning ahead: The next time I encounter a more powerful enemy force,
I'm gonna execute an early exit strategy rather than stick around and
get creamed. How does this sound?
When will you be in town? I miss you.
