=="Yes, you ''could'' attack . . . but given your sloppy footwork, I wouldn't advise it. Still, if you must, be aware the shotgun I'm pointing 'safely' to the side has secretly had your knees in its arc of fire this whole time, so . . . go ahead!"==

=="Yes, you ''could'' attack . . . but given your sloppy footwork and poor positioning, I wouldn't advise it. Still, if you must, be aware the shotgun I've been oh-so-casually pointing off to the side actually still has your knees conveniently within its arc of fire, so . . . go ahead!"==

Edna realized that from a young age. And she decided to become as adept as possible at solving that problem. Mainly because she, of all people in the world, was one of the very few to grasp that hidden truth. She didn't think the same as other people. Never had. She was gifted with brilliant insight, albeit in a narrow focus. And that was okay. Edna was used to people not understanding her. And if she was the only person capable of tackling this problem, so be it.

Not at a root-cause level, mind you. That was for bridge-builders like Charlie. Her job was akin to Charlie's in one respect, though. Charlie didn't build ''new'' ships, she kept the old one running. Likewise, Edna doesn't ''prevent'' wars, she wins the current one. She "fixes" conflicts like an engineer fixes malfunctions, all to keep the ship sailing smoothly.

But sometimes the odds are too great even for a genius, or there's spectacularly bad luck that can't be planned for or mitigated against. That's what happened when The Black Sheep lost its Captain, and Edna lost the good use of her leg and back.

She'd given them a good fight. They'd held out against overwhelming, seemingly hopeless odds, longer than anyone had any right to. They'd gotten through it. . . . mostly. But not all. Edna misses the Captain, as much as she misses anyone. They were a dear friend and companion. Every single day, in her mind's eye, Edna still runs through what happened. What she should've known going in, but didn't. What she could've done differently in hindsight, but hadn't. Surely the fault had been hers. Somehow. After all, no problem is truly insurmountable.
