Fixed typo, "still," not "till." Fixed pronoun, the experiment was Entrapta's, not Hordak's (he only sanctioned it), it makes more sense to use "her" instead of "him."

* YouHaveFailedMe: Subverted. Hordak states Entrapa's experiment failed, but she responds that it was actually a success given that she now knows more about the First Ones' technology than ever so that experiment is just the beginning of what she will accomplish. Catra also points out that she came closer to conquering Bright Moon than anybody has before and with the Whispering Woods frozen, Bright Moon is till vulnerable. This is enough for Hordak to consider their efforts a success and promotes Catra to his second in command.
