"What cruel joke has fate played on me to award me the same ability as yours yet I am unable to use it?"
"If you buy me, do I not cost the same as you?"
But what Billy didn't know, because he wasn't favoured by a Synapse creature, was that Bob's loss didn't hurt the swarm he was in, while Billy's death would place *two* Blast markers on the Independent swarm he was in... he also didn't stop to consider that the Raveners that he hung out with cost the Hivefleet more to deploy than those that hung out with Synapse creatures... while he liked his independence, it sure had some drawbacks too...  and then he realized, that when he *did* use his Tunneling ability, he wasn't fighting as long as Bob, because he wasn't on the field as battle as much, since he spent so much time underground.
And that's when Billy realized, that, wow, in the greater perspective of the Hivemind, he actually cost *more* than Bob, even though their point values were the same...
