[Crowley can be patient when necessary, and it's even easier when he has a distraction to entertain himself while he waits.
When the response does come, he laughs. He might not care for violence all that much, but he does love some malicious compliance.]
Would've made me laugh, too. I knew you were clever.
But I get why you believe him, even if I never met the bloke. People like that have their own little rules and it sounds like you played the game right, by his standards.
[That's oddly reassuring and he smiles. Good. He had no intentions of changing who or what he was or how he did things, but it was nice when people seemed to be willing to take that in stride.]
I'm glad you approve.
I grew up with people like that all around me, it seemed familiar and, in this case, reliable.
Something is going to happen with an avatar of the Dark and likely Desolation. The ADI woman mentioned another of the Buried. All of that points to mines and an explosion, perhaps under the cover of seemingly like a natural accident, but catastrophic all the same.
[This is sarcasm, which usually doesn't convey well over text, but he suspects Garner knows him well enough to pick it.]
Mines are very good at exploding, in my experience. Real easy to chalk it up to an accident, too, especially if you're shoving a bunch of tourists down there for a concert. Someone touched something they shouldn't have. The music destabilized a support structure. Some poor worker missed a safety check. Etc etc.
Terrible tragedy, but the CEO blames someone else, throws enough money behind it, and walks away scott free

It wasn't too bad, just atypical.
[And, ultimately, not as important as the topic at hand.]
That sounds like nobility and those with enough power to not be second guessed.
And a very viable option. I hope we can find something useful, if we can help at all, it will be worth the trouble.

Got it in one. Corporate billionaires are what humans invented to replace nobility, once most countries got rid of that nonsense.
I'll see what I can dig up, nothing's ever really lost once it's on the net

Thank you, Crowley, I truly appreciate your help.
