Since the people that have been complaining about how the S9 are being dealt with (for weeks) don't seem to understand the reasoning behind this decision, here's the reasoning.
The delay with the CF vs S9 has nothing to do with either the CF or the S9, it has everything to do with the Thinker Predictions of individuals and groups outside the situation. The only ones who know that Apeiron can fake out thinker predictions are the CF. Apeiron wants the entire world to think that only those who pick a fight with the CF will be attacked by the CF. People assuming that thinkers can predict the CF is a security blanket that prevents panic.
If the CF attacks the S9 before they are close enough to Brockton Bay to be considered a threat to Brockton Bay, then EVERY Thinker in the WORLD will know that they CANNOT PREDICT the Celestial Forge. With how terrified everyone is of the CF this panic could start WW3 amongst other panic induced consequences. If the CF waits until the S9 are close enough to Brockton Bay to be considered a threat to Brockton Bay, then the Thinkers will still believe that they can predict the CF.
This decision by Apeiron is a political move that leans into PR. If you feel skeptical then reread the Chubster Interlude. Please stop complaining about how Apeiron is manipulating the S9, it's annoying. It's especially annoying when all the complaints about this either don't understand or completely ignore the real reasoning for this decision. If you are going to complain about Joe's decision to wait for the S9 to come to him, at least include the proper reasoning so that you don't come across as someone not paying attention to the story you're reading.
Took maybe 20 minutes to write this d*mn post not including the bathroom break and reading new posts, this is exhausting I definitely prefer lurking.
