Nick really wanted to kill this thing.
This was someone working for the suppressors of humanity!
Yet, he couldn't.
Well, he could, but going through with it would not even be close to being worth it.
'At least I know now what I'm dealing with,' Nick thought. 'And most likely, the other Shields know about this too.'
'The old Champion used an opportunity to tell the Shields about humanity's true enemy, but they couldn't tell anyone else since only the Champion had the ability to protect them from surveillance.'
Nick was reminded of the speed of information, which implied the existence of information as an actual physical thing.
And physical things could be measured.
All the Shields knew the truth of the world, but they could not talk about these things.
It was forbidden information.
