And then what?

A good plan completes its objective and deals with the aftermath. The Avatar won’t stay in the South Pole forever. Hell– the second the Moon disappeared, she’d execute that larger group, then hunt the rest of us. She’s not Aang! And even if we survived that– IF– the Moon spirit could still be replaced, just like the last time this happened.

Speaking of last time: the last group to kill the Moon was the Fire Nation Navy under Zhao. People would associate us with Zhao! And Yue herself– think of all the nonbender children that grow up idolizing her. She’s our best propaganda asset. And you want her gone?

In short: we’d be dead, the biggest nonbender hero of the last hundred years would be dead, Equality’s reputation would be even worse– yes that’s possible– and waterbending would come right back anyway.

You’re smart. You obviously know a lot about our enemy. You have a strategist’s mind. But please– please– focus on plans that won’t backfire.
