Comwell took a sip from the tea his aide had just brought in as he sat back in his chair, glancing at the agent standing in front of his desk. "You're sure about this?"
Sally, the agent he was addressing, simply nodded. "Sir, not only has he been repairing and maintaining a top of the line E-Series unit, but he's recently been able to custom build his own metallix unit from reverse engineered data. If there's anyone capable of reviving Project: Counter-Metal, its Jonas Lans.
"Very well, if you think he's worth it, I'll see about getting the project's budget renewed." He set his tea down and picked up one of the files on the desk in front of him. "But what's this about needed permission to officially comfiscate his workshop and equipment?"
"Well sir...with the judge ruling in Robotnik's favor, he would be able to take things from it, things we wouldn't want him to be able to get his hands on, like the E-123 unit. However if we were to officially comfiscate them in the interests of security...well then that's too bad isn't it?" she explained with the just a hint of a smirk.
A smirk the commander returned. "Clever, Agent Acorn. So you intent to try and...recruit Omega as well?"
"Yes sir. I believe with Lans' current history with the robot, it can be convinced to join us."
"You might consider getting Rouge to help you with that, she has experiance with it too," he said off-handedly.
A frown crossed her face. "...If need be, sir," she said, in a tone that suggested she'd rather have teeth pulled using the doorknob method. She decided to change the subject. "I'd heard there was a new development with Talon?"
Comwell nodded. "Yes. You'll be pleased to hear that the case is pretty much closed. Apparently he was killed when he accidently blew up a fireworks factory while he was still inside. With the earlier destruction of his main facility and his death, we believe that there is little to no threat from that angle anymore."
"That's...god to hear sir," she answered, but didn't smile. It seemed too easy...
"If there's nothing else, carry on, agent."
