Yes, "by the time".
Firstly, you have a 50 mile general radius of my position and the only reason you even know the general vicinity of where I live is because of my prep plan that I've posted in this thread. None of you would have this prior knowledge of my plan going into the battle scenario, you'd just have one dot in the Western US amongst dozens on your scanner.
Secondly, none of you are an immediate threat to me or my plan within the battle scenario, where you'll be communicating with the other combatants, you'd all have to forge the alliance and gather together within the battle. B-Dub didn't stipulate any prep, he just said that we're approached by a god-like being that offers us our power and then we're transported to this replica Earth with the scanner to battle it out for supremacy to keep our powers. It's basically Hunger Games but we don't start in line of sight. Y'all are still f*cked.
Thirdly, I'm not messing with/using my powers on your trackers, I'm creating false signals that your trackers will pick up so you can't pin point me. I'm gonna create replicas of the device which will create false positives and disperse them all over the West Coast via my robots.
Beyond that, I'm not worried about you as Spot. I can instantly form my Box armor and be miles underground building my machines within moments of the battle beginning. You wouldn't even know where to look for me and you're not omnipresent.
Days of Future Delph is coming.
