[ The Imperials can try all they want; they won't be able to use Nezha without the Operator. Still, that raises other concerns. If they're unable to access Nezha's power, what will they do with him? Dissect him? Destroy him? The Operator may have limited time to find him before the Imperials lose interest. ]
