When Edgellie asks what is today's assignment, he explains that the Crimson Order leader, Mr. Red, had captured Locked Room Gang member Ib and is holding her hostage in an abandoned botany laboratory, where he is attempting to create a bioweapon capable of corrupting and potentially destroying plant life called "Black Pollen," and is going to use Ib as his text subject (Maria initially didn't want to attack Mr. Red, but Alan made her reconsider by showing her detonator). Alan tells them that their mission is to find Mr. Red, rescue Ib, and retrieve the Black Pollen, where it will be safely destroyed. He then tells them the plan: they'll sneak into Venom City, where they will rendezvous to a couple of arms dealers he hired that will set them up for the break-in. He then finishes his meeting by saying that since this is as off the grid as it will get, he asks the team to keep the body count to a minimum, even asking Squidkiller to rely on standard Inkling weapons. When Hat Kid askes about the Locked Room Gang, he tells her to not worry about the gang, as he had set up a fake distress signal in Arizona, where Jaiden lives (with him hoping that if the Purple-Ops are fast enough, they'll finish their mission without the gang's interference).
