Homemade? Hm. [Granted, Skulduggery hasn't been on this turtle's back for very long, but everything he's heard has put him in mind of Malicant being a very powerful individual. Why homemade bombs, then? Does Malicant not have access to magic, or is he only capable of working through less powerful individuals?

Either way, Skulduggery nods.] Death wasn't the goal here. If there is a list of the dead once all of this is over, most of those will be accidents. [He gestures at the air.] These spores are going to infect the food supplies and cause more of a long-term mass panic than the bombs themselves. This is an attack, and a well-coordinated one, but it's not the main event. This is a distraction.

[The more he speaks, the more obvious it gets that he's speaking mainly to himself, and using the excuse of someone nearby to avoid looking like a fool while he does.]
