I did mention Candidates would be a potential problem next to insufficiant material and infrastructure, though again I was only talking a small number produced for the IRG. Though I do have to concede that without 3 of the Great Seraphs, especially without Michael, heaven may infact be too unstable to consider real growth. It still probably won't prohibit small scale growth, but it might, and it definitely will be a major drain on their current time and reasources just to maintain what little they can. Thank you for enlightening me to another perspective I did not consider. Not enough to convince me entirely, but enough to instill doubt and reconsider my thoughts.
