It didn’t take long. He was expecting Nero to volunteer when he told him about Zero’s request but it didn’t mean he liked it. Giving Zero exactly what she wanted. He made sure she was secured to the table, power inhibiting cuffs fastened properly, and he put her in one of the rooms they had kept Ward in when he was prisoner. Forcefield between her and Nero. A remote giving him the ability to mute her if he needed. He placed a chair on the opposite side of the force field facing the cell for Nero to sit and he stood beside him, slightly further back to observe and monitor the situation.
He wondered briefly if they would want privacy but he knew even if they requested it and he left the room they would still be heavily monitored. There was no escaping that.
Miller was watching the surveillance and was on coms with him in case they needed some sort of binary translation help again.
It was all set up. All he needed was for Nero to make the force field transparent and unmute her for them to begin when he was ready.
“Just see what she wants to give you and we’re done. Mute her if you need to and when you’re done you can walk away.” Sterling said firmly. He had been briefed but he wanted to make sure Nero was reminded. He wasn’t fragile and maybe Sterling was treating him like he was but after seeing him react to the names...
They needed this intel but he didn’t like how it was being obtained on Zero’s terms. He held a percentage of control in this situation that was just a touch too high for Sterling’s comfort. He made sure they grasped as much control as they could manage before going in. Zero was smart. She had done a lot of damage in a small amount of time in Providence. He didn’t want to give her that opportunity again.
