Chapter 34

In this chapter, the characters discuss the ongoing conflict with Spartacus, focusing on military strategy and the risks of Spartacus producing its own destroyers. While most are confident in their current containment plan and reserve deployment, Dyer expresses concern about potential gaps in their defenses and the possibility of Spartacus gaining a decisive advantage. The debate highlights tensions between scientific objectives and military prudence, culminating in a reluctant consensus to continue the aggressive approach, with Dyer deciding to investigate the situation in Detroit personally.
