Nick & Marla finds the flaw in the plan

The order of battle established, Nicholas Walk-like-the-Wind and Marla McCall Trumbull met privately to discuss the back room, the Black Ops portion of the war.

“The plan”, Nick said to Marla, “is I lead the Ginzu Knives to ArchANgel’s lair and slip in a key to access its command kernel. So, can you and Mother make a key?” Marla said, “No, it’s impossible. IF such a key exists, we will have to steal it from Zed Ivory’s safe.”

Nick said, “My brilliant plan for a Black Op raid kinda needs The key. Um, I may not have thought the whole thing through.”. “Ya think?” retorted Marla.”
