1) The only indication of contact between the two was a video message of Adam sent to the Albains, something capable of relay via courier, not via contact over Scroll.....

2) Not sure you caught my edit, but it was said to be the latest in a series of letters...

3) Honestly, the CCT in itself just seems poorly designed IMO. Knocking one down instantly kills the array, which is dumb.

4) Considering the size of the swarm of Sphinx and Manticore's however coming upon Argus, there were alot in the mountains surrounding Argus.

5) Even taken an actual magnet and put a thumbtack in front of it?

6) Except we've seen they are. Not only are her two best soldiers the Nubucks, who are basically her personal cheer squad, the other soldiers were more focused on watching Cordovin attempt to murder the heroes and cheer her on than pay attention to the radars. They may not be as overzealous as her, they are damn near close.

7) The fact she didn't ask seems to suggest they can't ask, especially considering since Cordovin didn't immediately radio Atlas when the missing former Heiress shows up on her doorstep and refused to come home alone. You think she'd at least let Winter or Ironwood know so they'd alert Jacques.

8) Honestly this would be a lot easier if we had a conversion rate...... 1) True, although to be fair, Menag was excluded from the network. I don't think they even got a relay tower. It might not be a good example for this topic.

2) What.

3) It is indeed poorly designed, and the fact no one bothered to fix it in decades is incredibly stupid. But, it isn't like once one tower falls, the whole network goes poof, just a region of it.

4) Which doesn't mean much. A couple of flying cats approaching Argus would't be enough to matter since they can just shoot them down. And the whole swarm only showed up after the people were freaked out by a giant robot that caused earthquakes by walking, and a Kaiju Grimm started approaching shore.

Without anything actively causing mass panic though, there might be an increase in Grimm activity, but nothing close to a reenactment of the Battle of Beacon.

5) I think you're taking the magnet analogy too literally.

6) Being "her cheerleading squad" =/= being a zealot. The Nubucks were just 2 of the dozens of soldiers on the base, and watching the battle like a football match doesn't make the rest zealots, just incompetent.

7) No, it doesn't suggest that, they just never bothered to even try to see if it was possible. At best, it suggests they're too impatient. Also, Cordovin could've sent a message about them "finding Weiss Schnee on Argus" after their conversation. Or she could've waited to add it on a report.

8) True....though still, prices could be different between Vale and Mistral, or at least between a fancy little bar and a ramen shop in the slums.
