For myself, because I subscribe to the "Big Fire is an infernal front" theory, I've long thought that the logical move of on their part is to get a cosmic hacker of some sort to compromise the lens network. Skuld is really good at what she does, and the lens network may, as she's said, be totally unhackable; but lots of people have thought their security was absolute or that their codes couldn't be broken. Not a lot of them have been right, and demons are... tricksy.
