[Despite the darker tone, Albert does not stop in his tending to his horse. His own tone does not change.] If we had the luxury of sitting down and asking for all of the information you now have to deduce your theory, I can guarantee that we would have had this conversation at least a year ago. But we don't. The only reason that information has become known to us is because someone asked the right question and someone decided to answer it.

Moreover, we are only seen as effective because we have followed orders thus far. We have participated in four drafts -- barely enough to safely conclude that we can in fact produce the results they wish. I only received the amount of trust necessary to change our drop points during the last draft. I am sure you know that one needs a certain level of power, beyond logic, to argue for a change from orders "handed down from the top."
