I still believe he dropped the ball on Karen by not improving security on her the first time he found out she was in contact with someone of Pantheon.Now he's giving Mark the chance to confess and offer him a way out without losing his position, so he can be his benefactor by helping him over this stage and tie Mark tighter into his net.Legacy leadership doesn't seem to get chosen on leadership abilities but more on how they sell to the media. Both have very good looks, Mark's superstar attitude sells very well to the mainstream popculture while Anika's Norse faith will sell to the New Agers and the like. He most likely knows about both drughistories so by making them into mediafigures they'll be easily blackmailed if they would ever consider going public with the sensitive information he gives them, not to mention writing it off as druginduced paranoia. In how far they actually care about their public image... Mark probably does care more than he thinks right now, I don't really see Anika caring all that much.Ryan'll probably never get promoted to leader in any official capacity, he doesn't sell well to the media being amoral, rude and purple. But in an unofficial capacity Paragon probably sees him as his potential pet enforcer if nurtured right.The problems inside the team aren't as big as they seem, the only member they've truly lost is Yoshi. But with losing Yoshi many lost their biggest stress relieve, he bound the team together. Anika and Ryan didn't fight as much because Yoshi took their focus, Mark had someone to compete with... What Legacy needs right now is someone who can take that position. Karen could have been, if Mark hadn't taken her to Brazil and she'd be able to get along with Ryan and she didn't have strong Bishop/Movement sympathies. Maybe Charlotte, she's been doing a nice job as a social worker already with both Cassie and Timothy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
