Ask the boss
The original task that had been set for Elijah was to find out about the infected solution. He needed as much proof as possible regarding what NIRV was doing to put pressure on the large corporation.
The main reason why NIRV used other gangs in the first place was because they could wipe their hands clean of everything. Even now, Elijah was pretty sure there would be no links left behind, or at least no one with knowledge. With Vlad, there would at least be a bit of proof, and they could investigate further into just what the solution did.
Unlike before, it was clear that the infected solutions were getting better and not driving the host mad as they would do before. Everyone had turned to Vlad, expecting him to answer, to speak up about what he thought about the whole thing, but there was silence on his end.
