We have an in. They'll be expecting us, so our presence won't raise any alarms. At least for a while. It's a matter of narrowing down the scope to something that we want to take, rather than wasting time looking for it.
Corporate espionage doesn't always need a focus, but we will need to have a plan with what we intend to do. Given the digital nature of things, we'll be limited in what we are able to find. I'd be willing to bet that any of the people testing won't have the information we're trying to seek. And why would they? They know that we have powers. We have to assume that they know everything that the UNA learned about Rey.
So when it comes to not wasting it, we have to think about what we're not wasting. What we'll be losing. And how capable we'll be in being able to accomplish it.
Why don't you take this out on that idiot? I've tried to teach her the very same lesson that she managed to forget here, throwing us all in their crosshairs. Or are you saying that she's not worthy of your disappointment because a corporation knew how to scoop her up and make her commit to their bullshit?
If you can't be done with her, know that I can more than happily handle the problem.
As for the rest.
You flying in half-assed because you want to do something. You're powerless here. Sometimes that's just a thing that you need to accept.
I would if I could get through to her. She's so wrapped up in her head to make this work that she won't listen to anyone. She'll have to take full responsibility for this when something goes wrong. It will.
[ and he told her that much. he's done trying to convince Rey of anything, but that doesn't mean that it won't be affecting all of them—and maybe even Morningstar.
there's an itch in him that's uncomfortable—after the Shido, God of Control, and Maruki, sitting down to wait to see how this plays out boils up a rage that usually lies in dormant embers until it flares back to life.
it's close to home. it nudges against a sore spot of what happened to him, and what he knows happened to Akechi. ]
But we don't have to be casualties of that decision. This would be someone blatantly using us. If you have a better idea, I'll listen.
She made up her mind months ago. What she's going to do. How she's going to behave. Getting through to her is only a matter of saying what she wants to hear. Surely you've seen that now.
She's happy to call me intelligent until I point out that she's full of shit.
In her replies, she's told people that her choice wasn't made up yet. But along those lines, isn't it infuriating to see her do exactly what people expected of her, and then go along the path of deciding it's what's right?
She doesn't even know what the organization she's a part of believes. She just knows what she's decided is right or wrong, and it's in line with what she thinks at any given moment.
But here's the thing, Ren.
We've been blatantly used since we first arrived here.
We'll keep being used until we shed the wings of the little birdies that Cassius referred to.
I hesitate to believe that taking it to Riverstone is going to do any good there.
[ Akechi's right—Rey had already made up her mind. it's a truth that's hard for him to grapple with, and no matter what he says to her, she's going to do this no matter what. she already knew when she first posted that whoops. ]
We can't wait for other people to make their own realization regarding that. I'm done talking.
[ he's made up his mind, and he's pissed. ]
I agree, but there might be something. Let's go. If there's nothing, we'll walk out.
Instead of dealing with the true problem, you're directing it elsewhere.
And exposing yourself at the same time.
Fine. But don't expect it to go this way every time. And when it's over, you will need to make a choice about her. I accepted the bullshit from your other friends. But while they earned your trust, I fail to see how your comrades here have done the same.

well. ]
Yeah, I know.
Find information because we know it's there isn't going to give us much focus.
I just don't want to waste this.

The people testing are out.
The access to Riverstone is what we'd be wasting.
[ let him mull over this. ]
Do you think we could create a link?
Something that we could install to give us access.
[ he's thinking of how Futaba might handle this. ]
no subject
And by whom?
Do we have anyone in mind for that type of thing?
no subject
This isn't right, Akechi. Even if all we do is cause problems, I can't let it go on like this.

Thanks, Akechi.
[ for sticking with him. for backing him up. he knows Akechi isn't used to this, and he appreciates it. ]
