"I know it's been a while since we last saw each other, but…" Mathew spoke, turning his face to Daniel as soon as Carol understood the situation.
"It's fine, I understand," Daniel replied. He then put a small smile on his face. "Right now, every second counts, isn't that right?"
Mathew took in a deep breath before slowly releasing it back.
"I wish it wasn't the case," he said while shaking his head. "But yeah, every second counts."
"Just one last thing, then," Daniel stated only for his smirk to vanish, replaced by a fully-serious expression. "I remember there were some reports about some sort of a huge threat still looming," he pointed out while moving his eyes over to Norbert's face. He allowed his stare to linger for a moment before looking back at Mathew. "And going back to the topic of the next level, I assume we will need some ungodly amount of cores to get it, right?"
Mathew pressed his lips together, annoyed by the mere motion of that possible requirement.
