41. Calvin: I'm almost positive that Lynton-Wolfe has been ... shaped ...
42. He's under shaper control.
43. Ni: How long did it take you to figure that out? Of course he is.
44. Always has been.
45. Calvin: And you let him into Niantic.
46. Ni: Endgame, Ezekiel. If we don't study the Shapers close up, how in
47. Hell are we going to know anything about them?
48. Calvin: That's extraordinarily dangerous.
49. Ni: Of course it is. Exactly what business do you think we're in?
50. Calvin: Protecting the citizens.
51. Ni: Is that sarcasm?
52. Calvin: Is it, Director?
53. Ni: We're way beyond that, Zeke. Catch up. The only way we are going to
54. protect the citizens is to defeat the Shapers, and the only way we're
55. going to do that is on their terms and on their turf. And the only thing
56. that's going to get us there is their tech.
57. [pause]
58. Ni: Are you there?
59. Calvin: You think we can defeat them?
60. Ni: Yes. Think all the way to endgame, Calvin. What are the Shapers?
61. Calvin: Ingressors? Invaders? Trespassers? Hijackers? You tell me. If
62. they wanted to kill us, they could have done that a long time ago.
63. Ni: Could they? What are they, Calvin? What do we know them to be?
64. Calvin: I ran out of terms. You tell me.
65. Ni: Parasites, Calvin. They're parasitizing us. We just don't know why.
66. But it doesn't matter.
67. Calvin: It doesn't.
68. Ni: We are predators, Calvin. The predators will defeat the parasites.
