"This is not really a situation where you get to scrape up whatever resources you can 'afford' and hope you win with those. 'Reality doesn't care what you afford.'" (It rhymes and scans perfectly in Baseline, in the way of Central Cheating Poetry.)
"Asmodia gained her first apprehension of the Law by borrowing Aspexia Rugatonn's headband for two hours while Rugatonn was getting two hours of sleep, if I'm not - mixing up those stories the wrong way, I haven't checked transcripts - anyways, you have any artifact headbands of your own that you can let people borrow for two hours to see if they can gain a first apprehension that way?"

I can't imagine that one experiment working out great for them and then they never try it on anybody else. Though Asmodia also said she was disloyal and they knew that, so maybe it does work and they didn't try it again for that reason -"
"Anyways, do you have an artifact headband people can borrow for two hours while the usual owner is sleeping?"
