It didn't need explanation, a license to practice was the only purpose that Jonathan Crane would commit himself to. Chilton couldn't swallow the words -- needless to say, reinstating Crane's was something of a breathless risk. But, even as that was considered, he saw the logic this proposal. The implied constraints. Better than Crane sing his song from a gilded cage, and Wayne had the gold.
"This would be an all-consuming pet project," he said. Gentle caution. He wasn't going to chastise; Chilton knew the appeal of a dangerous mind, he had nothing but sympathy for the presumed Wayne ambitions. "I would insist that you pursue Orwellian surveillance."
If only he had known about the likes of Brother Eye, he never would have reiterated the importance of eternal observation.
Chilton tapped his index and middle finger against his desk, his trademark gold pen never too far from his finger tips. His soft frown deepened.

"So. You need my support. With this."
The crux of the meeting.
