"Most things called 'the ultimate' tend not to be, in my experience," Lea said. "If only because a lot of people take that as a challenge and try to outdo it. I mean, yeah, the Voidtrecker's pretty cool, but we don't really have much to compare it to, you know? For all we know it could be a bit above average and just have ton of hype built up around it."
"Though on the other hand, Captain Halo could've been 100% right. It might be the ultimate, greatest ever void train, something that really deserves to be legendary. And if it is, that's all the more reason to avoid the Void Ministry's lackeys; aside from what they might do with us, anything that's the 'ultimate'? People want it. And some of those people would do some very icky things to get what they want."
He sighed. "The fact is we just don't have enough facts," he said. "And no reliable way to get more, since the people who would be the ones you'd usually ask about stuff like this think we're all criminals."
