[quote=@Krayzikk] A failsafe in technology Lucius specifically said he picked to be "old and possibly volatile"? As in, specifically to make the point that Gren was using low quality tech? A failsafe for a technology that it's dubious that anyone would have come up with in this setting anyway? All fitted into a reactor small enough to be used within the body of a single person without being detected? Unlikely to an extreme degree, even- no, [i]especially[/i]- taking into account the RWBY universe. The decision to use teenagers for such jobs isn't even relevant. That's a different conversation and thought process entirely. [/quote] I mean, there's penny, but k. You could argue that's advanced tech but she exists. [quote=@Silvan Haven] Because otherwise we would not have a plot. That and the Hunters are Vale's equivalent to their special forces. Also those same people were were being sent on missions not [i]too[/i] much later so its not really an entirely accurate to talk about them like that. [/quote] It was merely a parallel for him saying how improbable it would be for someone to let a reactor into a school. Which wouldn't probably be detectable in the first place the way Gren has it.
