I don't understand. Why couldn't all of them have been as good as IRyS? Why did they only care for quality when picking their EN equivalent of AZKi and that's it? Well, I guess her being separate will make it easier to eject her from EN and bring her into JP once EN inevitably crumbles. Won't have to worry about her sabotaging herself out of solidarity with her genmates when they start making cuts. Once things go pear-shaped she can just peace out on her own and come on over to JP.
