I don’t really know much about them. Teuta needed Scarecrow to hack encrypted data, but she let us know it was potentially dangerous — like, “would hunt us down if they know we had it” dangerous. So.
We knew what we were getting into when we went digging, but— we still doesn’t really know what it is. Just what they’ve been tangentially involved in. There’s probably people who still believe in the good the group can do. The list of names we got was huge, after all. Not every person there is going to be corrupt or immoral.
[ he exhales slowly, a plume of smoke rising from his mouth and his cigarette. ]
But I’d put money on most of the people with the bulk of the power being like that. It probably went from something like gathering resources and powers to protect themselves, to something self serving for the select few.
[ he does not think to ask why this man's name is scarecrow. ]
Isn't that kind of always the way? Power and money are the root of all evil and whatever. I would be more surprised if the bulk of people were corrupt because of it. Once you find things that work...people don't know when to stop and it becomes a cycle.
[ but that's pretty wild, frankly. ]
So what were you planning to do about it knowing all of that? How do you even move forward with that information?
Limbo's thing is sniffing after dodgy shit happening in the city. This is like sniffing out the core of it all -- the thing Teuta had was a coded list of names. Every person in Ruy Lopez.
Because once you know who all is connected, all you have to do is pull a thread and the whole organization collapses. It makes sense. [ woof. ] Here's hoping nobody ever catches on you guys have that list then.
Pretty sure that's all films in general. [ ... ] I definitely want to hear more about...all of this. But you don't have to worry about being attacked and caught off guard in the middle of the day here if you want to actually go inside and see something.

That's why it was guarded so fiercely.

[ as it turns out like three people they know are heavily involved so the irony is they’d probably be protected on two of those three fronts. ]
But Scarecrow didn’t get where he is by being a shit hacker with bad security, so.

There's only really a threat if we all end up at the movies on Thursday night then.

So see? No excuse. [ snubbing out his cigarette. ] I'll even give you the honor of picking if you want.

I’m not sure I’d know what to pick.

That's kind of the funniest way to describe it, but yes, that one. Maybe we should stick with that after all then. I don't mind seeing it. Come on.
[ they can go see the matrix...and we can handwave that and wrap this one if you want becks! ]
