Light Banquet hesitated, then said:
"Theoretically, yes-the Core Hub keeps all the Mechanical Bodies running-until decentralization is complete-his current state still resembles a gestalt or hive mind-if we can destroy the main body-theoretically-all the atomic machines will immediately stop working-"
"But..."
