Eron's company Vessel is the one that hired the crime lads in the first place
Cute Quinn
@quinn2win

Eron didn't hire the crime lads. Stem did
Cute Quinn
@quinn2win
Sat, Apr 8, 2023 8:15 PM
in order to upgrade itself, it needed a human body pure of cybernetic implants
Cute Quinn
@quinn2win
Sat, Apr 8, 2023 8:15 PM
so it took over Vessel from the shadows and used its own creator to arrange the entire plot in order to get itself into Grey's body
Cute Quinn
@quinn2win

Sat, Apr 8, 2023 8:22 PM

Cute Quinn
@quinn2win
Sat, Apr 8, 2023 8:23 PM
the reason it brought Grey back to kill Eron was because Eron was the only person in the world capable of making another Stem
