"You provided them with Mekstrom bodies," she said simply.
"They took to it willingly?"

She just nodded. Then she looked up at me with troubled eyes and asked, "What are you going to do now, Steve?"
"I'm going to haul the whole shebang down like Samson in the Temple."
"A lot of innocent people are going to get hurt if you do that."
"I can't very well find a cave in Antarctica and hide," I replied glumly.
"Think a bit, Steve. Could either side afford to let you walk into New Washington with the living proof of your Mekstrom Body?"
