I met with Prof and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of my plan to kill Steelheart. The plan is modified to attack the infrastructure of Newcago rather than minor Epics, as a psychological ploy to deceive Steelheart. David suggests they attack the power grid so that they can also steal a power cell for their gauss gun, and Prof agrees. Prof is impressed by David's discovery about Nightwielder but also warns him not to get any Reckoners killed out of recklessness.
