[Having more ability to move only meant something if he could attack properly, and he's limited Logan to the movements of a knight. Not the brightest of choices, but there's no time for excuses. He has to work with what he's done.]

[He can only assume that's part of the puzzle. They wouldn't stand a fighting chance otherwise. Or he wouldn't, at least.]
