" We were always going to make a thorough study of you. You terrify the Grafters. A woman who can control living matter. Their great advantage - the weapons with which they can smite the Checquy - are all biological. They wouldn't be able to shoot their guns if you decided that you didn't want them to. Any enhancements their agents possess could tear themselves out at your command. You, my dear, are their worst nightmare. And also their greatest possibility. You're our uranium. If we can reverse-engineer you, there's nothing we can't achieve. "
