"We were born sick", you heard them say it
Honestly, Ronin did have a point. Gideon had questioned the plan himself when he'd first heard it, but he'd assumed Cian had to have had his reasons. He had his book, after all. "...I.." He shook his head and huffed out a deep sigh, trying to calm the initial anger that wanted to rise up in him at being challenged right now. "I was overconfident and believed Cian had a plan. Believed the Gods had a plan. It was pride." He'd have to ask for forgiveness, he knew that much.
He didn't know details, didn't care much who the Ascended interloper had been. She was a machine like all of them, blasphemous in her very existence. Looking up again, interjecting seemingly at random, Gideon yelled: "We cannot do anything without the guidance of the Gods! All of us need to go and pray. That is the only way forward. To pray to the Gods and ask for a way to attack these monsters before they grow too confident. We as men alone cannot know the best way forwards."
