Heres the thing, you dont understand that RPers dont like characters who wield small armies. Stephenson would always come in and just instantly win everything. Remember the tin men? You jumped in and took it down, like it was no big deal. Plus you did a TON of stuff that wasnt confirmed. My point is, you dont understand that other characters travel alone. If they dont, they only have like, 3-4 people with them. At max. Kai has his children and mother, and Andrew has his sister. He doesnt pull the Nouisaeculi out as they wouldnt just follow him blindly. Kai doesnt pull the Psion Legion out as he knows he shouldnt. Its complicated.
