Thrawn waited until the door closed before speaking, holding a hand up to catch Claire's attention. "Forgive the Detective. He is unwise and unused to having authority appointed over him." he explained dryly. Thrawn clicked a button on his desk, the holograms of Art vanishing, allowing he and Claire to have a more face-to-face conversation. "Your first reaction to this may be to sever his own connection to the Police Force as you wish for this Randin. Allow me to rebut that, and attempt to make you reconsider your decision." Topaz would wait for now to present her findings. Thrawn had Dee's Career to save.
"Before that, however, please introduce yourself. You seem to be familiar with me, yet I know not who you are." he gestured smoothly with one of his hands towards Claire, before returning his hand towards his own body, forming a steeple. He leaned back into his chair slightly, keeping his back straight, and crossing one leg over the other at the ankle. Once introductions were out of the way, Thrawn continued.
"Your concern is with the Privatization of the Police Force, is it not?" he blinked slowly and raised his chin, his usual monotone had a slight twinge to it. One that meant he was down to business. "Your concerns are warranted, however the privatization of the Force is only Partially correct. While it is True we will be using Clones from a Private contributer to form a good majority of the Force, we will always take in volunteers from the willing population of Terra." he was very careful to use the name of the planet, not merely the name of the city.
He had bigger plans outside of simply the Police Force - Hence why his title was not Police Chief, but Defense Administrator.
"The Wing City Angels, likewise, will be entirely made of Volunteers from Wing City. I aim to bolster their numbers and upgrade their equipment. The police force as it is cannot be trusted with the safety of Wing City. I am screening the remaining members. If they are found unfit to serve, they will be relieved. Their loyalty to Wing City and Terra as a whole must be unshakable. Their sense of Justice cannot be strained. Training will likewise be changed. No longer will it be simple Law School and Physical and Marksmanship Training. Training will be changed to put each and every candidate under stress similar to what they will experience when dealing with day-to-day and out of the ordinary situations.
"Rest Assured, I am entirely willing to work with the Department of Internal Affairs in order to make the Police Force something to respect." he finished.
"When it comes to Detective Dee: I will be keeping him under a watchful eye and on a short Leash, so to speak. He will do as he is told or I will.... deal with his deficiencies personally. I ask you leave his fate in my hands." he added, leaning forward slightly and narrowing his eyes.
Topaz was then permitted to come closer, and Thrawn Examined the helmet and weapon carefully, blinking slowly. He nodded, and gestured for Topaz to take a step back until the matter with the IA was taken care of. Certainly these additions to his collection would aid him in his research and planning. But now was not the time.
Acknowledging what he said she continued, "That is not vague although for sake of records could you send over the documents explaining this to my office so I can look them over. Paperwork is essential to my job and I must check your promises are not pipe dreams, I do hope you understand that?" she asked.
When he proclaimed wish to work for the department she smiled slightly, "Well that makes a change, most tend to consider us the enemy because of how we operate so it is rather a relief to see someone smartly address the situation and realize we are allies."
As Thrawn continued now describing Dee she sighed, "You have at least alleviated some concerns so I will trust you to handle the Detective correctly nonetheless my department investigation is not over. I wish to see these changes happen and for the paperwork in triplicate. If we change this department it must be all done by the book." she would pull out a file and place it on the table, "I think this department needs to remove the policy of hiring only humans. We are an extremely vibrant city full of many species we should do all we can to make use of them. This one here Elizabeth McCarthy, she's somewhat introverted but I have heard from many that she is dedicated just needs a good partner to help her out and accept her. I have been told she is known as a Big Sister and she is deadly and extremely quick, feel free to look over her file."
She went quiet however as the Agent introduced herself. Great, head of IA for the police department, soon to be restructured into Wing City Law Enforcement and Thrawn elevated to Grand Admiral once again. At some point, Topaz already didn't much like the IA agent and couldn't help but wonder who polices those who police the police ?
It did not matter, Topaz wasn't there to start a fight only make a delivery of items. However she did confirm Dee's story of the sealing off of the access points for various areas of Wing City concerning the water control systems by activating a holo on the desk "I just came from one fo the access points, as you can see, its been walled off from most outside eyes, security cameras are in place. And no outside access card space is on the walls around the only door in or out of this location."
The holo faded "From what I understand, all access codes are to be given to Thrawn, and he will have final say on who gets access inside each location with a code from his ship" How Topaz knew that only Thrawn knew. She took a step back and crossed her arms, the metal work on her right arm and hand glittered in the city light through the window.

Somewhere distant, DHEED gives a console a rude gesture and starts over flipping dip switches.

'Claire seems more relaxed than she had been. Thrawn's words have shown her reason to relax.'
"Once all of the paperwork on my end has been finalized, I will send it all to you in an encrypted file. Everything from Uniform designs to plans for the future of Terra as a whole. You will have access to them." his Monotonous voice did well in concealing his hidden agenda. He of course had one - everyone did. Concealed even from those documents were just how many Clones he was planning to hire, how many actual citizens he planned to hire, and his plans for the Terran Defense Fleet. For now, anyway. She'd learn of those in due time, but now was not the time. Best to start small, and easy to absorb.
He made a dismissive gesture towards the subject of Dee, and nodded. "The Detective will be dealt with accordingly. If he will not comply, I will.... dispose of him." Something in Thrawn's tone implied more than simply firing the over-zealous Detective, but he would leave that in the air for now.
"Is there anything else you would like to discuss before we part ways for now?" Thrawn asked.
Pausing she would soft exhale, "No I do believe that is everything, Mr Thrawn, so I bid you adieu." stepping back she turned to head out, turning back to only say, "You give me optimism for this Department and it has been a long time since I have experienced anything but contempt for this department."
