So, how closely does this guy follow the development processes? Is he just like "as long as you're getting results I'll keep bankrolling your projects without asking questions or having any interest", or does he track everything that's going on in R&D?

[otomechapilot]

Closer to the latter; he takes an interest in major products and research even if he lacks the technical expertise to fully understand them.

new questions!

So, upon re-reading the Jaunt info:

"research was bought out by AEGISCorp in a deal that included Dara becoming their former head researcher" -- So did Dara ever become the head researcher? If yes, did she and Katsuragi ever work together? Did either Corentin or Katsuragi have anything to do with her disappearance, or would they know any information about it at all? (Basically is there any information within AEGISCorp in regards to her disappearance?)

[otomechapilot]

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

She was actually the Phileon lead at one point over Katsuragi, but as far as you can tell had an attack of conscience/figured out that Katsuragi was bad news and fled before she could be properly “retired.” You suspect she’s in hiding in the Belt.

Finding her and silencing her is a top priority, and there are top secret doxx about her last known location and attempts to find her!

Did this have anything to do with Katsuragi's plans to kidnap a goddamn psychic alien or did it happen AFTER they captured the Consort? What I guess I'm asking is 'were they planning to get one even before they did' and 'when did Dara go FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT?'

[otomechapilot]

She went “don’t mind me, imma just grab my stuff and leave, scuse me please” after working with the Consort and realizing they were gonna stuff her in an ominously humming sphere,

and being out of/applying personal STech. countermeasures to Mr. Shinera’s gaslighting field and going “thIS IS NOT FINE”

[thornsofmalkav]

So she's been gone since like basically a couple days after Tharsis, maybe a week or two. Great. Amazing.

[otomechapilot]

maybe like a month or two, the “this is fine” field is a hellova drug
