"It was pretty easy," Ethan replied, "want me to tell you about it?"
"..." The collector didn't respond, but Ethan continued anyway.
"Let's start with me getting you to believe that I was a spy," he started, "or rather, that Ethan Carter could be bought for the right price."
"It all started when you sent Daniel Crowe, disguised as a cooperation officer, into OmniTech Corp."
"Crowe was smart," Ethan admitted. "He knew Lillian wouldn't plug in an unknown chip, so he gave her one labeled as a passive observation device. He promised that there would be no transmission, or access to OmniTech's private data, it was just for monitoring, nothing else."
The Collector's lips curled slightly. "And yet he still got access."
"Yes," Ethan nodded. "Because he planned for that too."
Ethan flicked his fingers, and a recording appeared on the screen. It was a security footage from OmniTech's development floor.
