Let me ponder that, Omnius said. Screens on the pavilion walls projected watcheye images from the battle on Zimia. The hrethgir are smarter than you presumed. They saw your target. You made an error in judgment thinking your cymeks would be able to push forward easily.
 
I miscalculated, Agamemnon admitted. The humans have a clever military commander. His unexpected decisions allowed them to mount a successful resistance. Now, at least, we have tested their scrambler fields.
 
Agamemnon's explanations rapidly degenerated into a succession of rationalizations and excuses. Omnius analyzed and dismissed them, leaving the Titan feeling bare and humiliated? It was protected.
