“We have the Aurum Impulsum.” You direct your words at the two former Crux members. While both Valjean’s and Julia’s faces are unreadable, Matt gives you a look as if you just killed someone. The heck, Matt?
“So you did find it.” Valjean’s words are more of a statement than a question.
“Yes.” You affirm, wondering just what he has to say about the matter.
“Better you guys than Maranzano or FutureLabs, I guess. Asshole’s going to be running back to New York with his tail between his legs after this, that’s for sure.” Valjean says, a jeering grin spreading across his face. “So much for that so-called mafia pride.”
“Well, if FutureLabs didn’t have their eyes on them before, then they definitely do now.” Matt interjects. “This might work in our favor in the long run.”
With no one saying anything to that, your brother takes that as his cue to continue.
“So you know how Maranzano’s main headquarters is actually in New York, and FutureLabs was just given the go-ahead to deploy their forces there?” The question is mostly a rhetorical one. “What I’m thinking is that they’ll eventually go after Maranzano, possibly in the near future, and so they’ll be spreading their forces pretty damn thin if they decide some <span class="mu-i">special</span> intervention is needed.” Special as in mutant, your mind fills in.
“So if and when we finally extract Conduit, I was thinking we could coincide it with whenever they’re deployed.” Matt finishes.
