[ Instead of looking like a provoked cat, Kon manages to school himself enough to give him a bland look. ]
They specialize in virtual reality tech for the entertainment industry and the education sector, but they're incredibly secretive. [ That's enough of an explanation, right? ]
[It would be if Hiro wasn't naturally suspicious.] Right, as most tech companies do. [Just look at Krei Tech.] What makes you think those secrets need to be unveiled?
[Judging by the way Hiro's asking though...he's not writing it off. He's genuinely curious of Kon's opinion.]
But Krei doesn't have anything on Sensai. [ This, at least, Kon will talk about. It's something that Hiro would be able to find if he looked. ] Krei's a public figure to his company - none of the Sensai family have really been seen in years, even though they're churning out tech at a constant rate. They've got their name on a lot of shit, but they're running things in the shadows, and it's not because they're shy.
[ That's where he falters, though, not sure if he wants to say more. Again, he doesn't want help with this, thinks he has to do it on his own terms. But also - ] I'm not saying more on a street, let alone one around the corner from the cops.
[This is all very disconcerting the longer Hiro hears about it, especially when the implication becomes clear that Kon's going to try and figure all of this out on his own. He's 11. What the hell can he really do to bring these guys down? Then again, he was only 14 when he started the Six...maybe he's underestimating him just a little.
Regardless, the fact that there's a corporation out there that may or may not be creating tech to harm mankind isn't something that sits well and so Hiro shrugs.]
[ A part of him wonders if he can't somehow ditch Hiro, but considering the fact he's one of the Six and also capable of tracking him down - he knows where he goes to school, even if he doesn't know where he lives - Kon decides no, better not.
Maybe he can use this somehow to his advantage, anyways. He doesn't want Hiro's help in figuring this out, but putting some pressure on Sensai might result in a crack that he can get into. Having the Six's eyes on them could be enough to do it. ]
Not the academy. I don't have anything about Sensai there right now, anyways. I... guess we can go where I'm staying.
[If Kon didn't share information with him, there's nothing stopping Hiro from going forth and finding the information himself. He has a feeling they both know that. He knows the Six have a powerful influence over the city of San Fransokyo, but he's unaware of what Kon's subtly thinking.
This does confirm what he'd initially wondered a few days after their first meeting though.] Which isn't the academy? [It's easier to feign surprise, at least.] Fine...hold on.
[He slides the helmet back on and pushes a button on the side, connecting to the communication channel the rest of the Six are on.] Following a lead. I'll be back in a little bit. [With the message sent, he removes it again and looks down at Kon.] This place close enough to walk, or do we need to hitch a ride?
