"Then it went much better than I had expected," Nick said with a chuckle, pulling Ava to rest against him as she looked out the window. "I was expecting them to throw me out if they knew, considering all that you had told me about them." With a slight smile, he continued. "As I said, today was for you, so it doesn't matter how I felt about it." With that, Nick settled in for the ride as well, opting to not doze off and instead be left with his thoughts. Once finally on the tarmac, Nick helped Ava get the rest of her bags into the jumpjet with the rest. He smirked a little bit and imagined her carrying them all through the compound and up to the apartment. Plopping down onto his seat in the jumper, Nick knew that now that Ava had gotten some rest, she'd have some questions about what he meant during their visit.<br/><br/>Sure enough, the first one was the most obvious one he knew was coming. "Yeah. It's one of my father's tactics. If a company doesn't give him what he wants, or has resources he feels he needs, he usually attempts to stage some sort of upheaval. Either by taking over the company or ensuring the company would die out," Nick explained. "If your father didn't stall as much as he did and didn't hire a third party to sweep for this possession, Precursor would either be a satellite of the Iron Brotherhood or it simply would not exist anymore. It's a dirty tactic, but that is usually his favorite kind of tactic."
