We still don’t know for certain that it is Mr. Green’s car. All we know for certain at this point is that Jonah believes that it is Mr. Green’s car, and that Jonah and Nera saw who they believe is Mr. Green approaching it.
Hey, counter-espionage comes and goes but pipes are *important*. Plumbers and sewer engineers did more then physicians to deliver us from the scourge of cholera after all! ^_~
If he’s putting on a charade, it’s a convincing one. We all know that — if Red Knight is any indicator — the so-called “heroes” at AG-I fail hard at the “super” part.
Basically, Shelby is admitting to having accomplished — in ten years — nothing of his stated covert mission in Annex One Building Maintenance (and yes, I do realize that the term “stated covert mission” seems to contradict itself). So he fits right in at AG-I.
Maybe it’s just an excuse to stash Shelby somewhere for a while—you know, like the way the Army stashed Tip at Skin Horse after he started dressing in dresses…
I’d suspect Gavotte. She always knew more than she let on, and for some reason she was collecting those fusion reactors. But then she turned out to have her own personal agenda, so A-Sig had to “deal with her”. If she wasn’t working for A-Sig, she wouldn’t have been theirs to deal with.
Unclogging pipes in the Annex One basement is actually tantamount to invading a bunch of civilizations and forming the diverse inhabitants into a single empire. In fact, that’s sometimes literally what’s required.
In which ineptitude that our protagonists would be proud of is revealed.
Yeeee-ahh, he really belongs here.
So, um, Mr Green’s car?!?
Some sort of triple agent.

“so many clogged pipes, those basement dwellers, and don’t mention the crystals… you must excuse me to be a wee bit distracted here.”
Well, I believe him. What some of their staff must put down those pipes…Unity in particular…
“Livin’ in the Fridge” is now running through my head…
Are those lug nuts?!

Sometimes, when you need a plumber, you need one now. I can buy a plumber needing a rocket car.
Not a bad power loadout, really. Very practical.
Speed, strength, perception, the ability to force grab a spanner, and do some healing. Solid mole material.

He’s a pretty good fit at Skin Horse as well. I’d rather not lose him to AG-1.
He’s got the T-shirt – I think we’ve got to believe him…

Yeah, you’ve got to put those embarrassingly screwed-up war heroes somewhere…
…ok, why is there a pencil in the vicinity? Does Mr Green need pencils? Does Nick? Is this another way Shelby is throwing us off to get a Pepsi free?
Oh, you know… Every telekinetic has to carry something around just to show off their power. Pencils, loose change… whatever’s easy.
Sweetheart, you really ought to know this one. She *told* you.
Huh? When and what?
Former Institute chick. Answered “Is that a personal call?” with “Making a report to our shadowy overboss”.
It can’t be just her, Shelby’s been undercover for ten years and she’s only been with Skin Horse for maybe a matter of months.
Sure. But she’s a start.

Huh. She *did* have a direct line to Mr Green, or at least somebody high up in A–Sig.
This is a case of “mission creep” going in the other direction to normal. He’s like an anti-Alexander the Great.
Now we know this is a fantasy.
If mission creep really worked that way the Peter Principle would be pure fiction.
