[Well, that's settled, at least. It does not, however, give them any answers or viable options, and he's pretty sure he could sit here and theorize about it all day, at the expense of real action. Philosophizing about the situation, tempting as it is, won't get him any closer to where he needs to be. Where he needs to be is somewhere with money, and resources, and a workspace.

I'm not sure it's malicious on their part, but it is...convenient.
[Viktor actively eschews politics, but even he can realize that the quickest way to said money and resources is by making himself useful to someone important.]
