>>1082>Shrugging, Mosaic then says:"Don't say I didn't warn you. The subsidiaries of Eukaryon that manufactured the materials are right there in those folders. More than enough evidence to get the right to an investigation. At the same time, you'll be able to send MRD troops to check their distribution centers. Make sure there's nothing involving a biochemical weapon there."
>Valkyrie turns her attention back towards Mosaic, narrowing her eyes behind her mask, as she asks:"Why are you helping us this much? You'd be better off just doing this yourself - not complicating matters."
>Mosaic dusts off his coat in a casual manner, stating:"Because I'm too valuable for you to not have access to, and we both know it too."
>Sensing Valkyrie's building annoyance, in addition to her irritation, he then states:"That, and we do better by working together. I give you valuable information, and you don't have to go around wasting your valuable time and resources going after vigilantes making your city streets safer. Omnius, Speedrunner and I have done exactly that over the past few years, haven't we?"
>Biting her lip in annoyance, Valkyrie then waves off Mosaic then says:"Fine. I can't argue with your results. Crime
has dropped by double digits since you appeared."
>Mosaic makes another gesture with his finger, stating:"And the majority of crime left comes from constantly appearing large scale threats that perfectly justify your existence and continued funding; and by extension my help too."
>Valkyrie thinks for a moment, looking at Chase and Dynamo - who both nod at her. Sighing, she then looks back at Mosaic and says:"OK then. Let's make an arrangement. We'll work with you as long as you continue to feed information to us. In return, our troops won't prioritize you in the field, though we can't remove the guideline that you're still operating outside of the law. That's out of our hands."
>Mosaic then says:"I'll need a direct line to the MRD database - hacking it all the time is slightly inconvenient, but incredibly easy."
>Closing her eyes again and sighing, Valkyrie then says:"Alright then. Anything else?"
>Thinking for a moment, Mosaic then states:"Access to the laboratories created by Chiral. Ever since I told you were they were, I anticipated you'd set up shop there and try to use the laboratories for your own ends - unfortunate that a lot of the equipment was already gone….."
>Valkyrie crosses her arms, going:"God, you are such a bastard. Fine. Unfettered access whenever you want - since you clearly have the genetic samples that we were hoping to get from those gene engineering labs."
>Mosaic nods at Valkyrie, stating:"Good to know we could work out an agreement. And if you break it?"
>Mosaic taps a button on his wrist, as a recording of Valkyrie's exact voice begins to play:["OK then. Let's make an arrangement. We'll work with you as long as you continue to feed information to us. In return, our troops won't prioritize you in the field, though we can't remove the guideline that you're still operating outside of the law. That's out of our hands."]
>Immediately recognizing what Mosaic's done, Valkyrie puts her head in her hands, groaning."Relax. I have no reason to use this against you - unless you give me a reason to."
>Valkyrie looks at Chase, who says:"He's telling the truth. It's more performative - and a demonstration of what he's capable of doing."
>Valkyrie then turns back to Mosaic to state:"You might be incredibly effective, but you are a huge as-"
>Mosaic has already disappeared however, causing Valkyrie to sigh once again."Figures….."
