'Bout time you asked that!

Alan originally issued the Purple-Ops to find Mr. Red, rescue Ib, and retrieve the Black Pollen. However, when he gave Edgellie her special assignment, it reveals that he really doesn't care about Ib and decides that the Black Pollen, despite knowing that it is a deadly bioweapon, is the Locked Room Gang's problem. The reason he's after Mr. Red is that he stole a copy of his Suicide Collars and found out on how to defuse them (though he only tells Edgellie that Mr. Red is planning to expose him of the Purple-Ops via the Suicide Collar).
