I accept.

To serve justice, I will lend my abilities to RISE.

Good.
A reformed criminal, on the side of justice. The people will love it.

To be clear, Major General, I have not agreed to serve as the peoples' idea of anything nor to support their cloying belief in criminal rehabilitation.

I am aware. Nor am I employing you as such.
But RISE is in the public eye, and the public
will
form their own opinion about you. I'd prefer the narrative be one that doesn't get in our way.
[A pause.]
Because of that, you may need to work with a partner.

The public has already formed an opinion of me, one that you will have to contend with before long if you truly wish to employ my services.
Particularly if you wish for me to cooperate with a partner.
[
Which, while not unexpected, is still very irritating.

If I may, Major General...before any decisions are made final, it would be wise to test partnership compatibility in a simulation.

I am aware. Surely you don't think me foolish enough to have extended my offer without considering that.
Do you have a simulation in mind?

Of course not.

With regards to the simulation, however, any scenario should suffice provided there is ample opportunity to test the constructs of teamwork.
Utilizing any of the disasters RISE has in the past worked to thwart may well work.

Something along those lines could work.
Is there anyone who leaps to mind as a potential candidate? The one who calls himself Wild Tiger is from your world, isn't he.

...He is.
Although, if I'm to be honest, I'm not at all certain how much he can be relied on to be cooperative.
Wild Tiger and I have a problematic history.

I went back and checked the posts to the network around that time. I'm aware.
That man has a bleeding heart. You really think he'd balk at the chance to make sure you're using your powers for 'justice'?

Emotions cloud one's judgment, Major General. Do you really think that a man with a bleeding heart will make for an effective partner?

I've been surprised by bleeding hearts before.
[She says simply. That Fullmetal brat...]
It doesn't have to be him. There are other members.

I'm aware, but if you are giving me a choice, I would prefer not to have any partner at all.

And if that's not an option?

Then I leave the decision to you.
