Truly, the benefits are multitudinous.

And once that's done... They can get to planning in earnest.

2B is confident that she outmatches Ash, one on one.

Rocket might be one of their bigger challenges, actually...

...She's just realized no one on their team can understand Chewie, which slightly limits plotting against Rocket. Damn.

Maybe Chewie can be primarily fighting against Rocket?

Not a bad idea...

"Chewie - meow once if you think that's a good idea, twice if maybe, three if no?" 

They meow twice.

"Decisive. We like it."

"Hmmm... Can you let us know if you object to or approve of any specific plans?"

Meow once!

"Sounds good."

Great.

With that handled... Loki.

Gamora honestly doesn't know the full extent of her abilities. She's - slippery, with a tendency to hold her cards in reserve.

'Full extent' may be the wrong way to think about, at least in terms of magic. When 9S talked to her, Loki said her magic was about taking a lie and making it real.

"...That is total bullshit, and also explains how she keeps pulling new powers out of her ass. Ugh."

"That was more or less my reaction."

"Well, she'll definitely be obnoxious. Only question is how obnoxious..."

"As much as she can possibly get away with."

"So we constrain what she can get away with."

"Keep her under pressure."

"Attention to what she's doing should also constrict her; we're arguably part of the universe she needs to fool."

"I can help with that. Practically my design purpose."

"Me and you are our best counter for her, then."

"Sounds like!"

"So sounds like we have our assignments."

"Yes. Any other concerns?"
