Dr. Nina Gould was impressive—far more than the Old Lady ever expected her to be. She'd wrongly believed that Dr. Gould was nothing more than a textbook of knowledge that David Purdue would just carry around with him and open whenever he needed. She had seemed like a tool and a resource for the Black Sun's new leader but it turned out that Dr. Gould was much more than she seemed. She was very much her own force to be reckoned with—and the Old Lady knew that meant that she was a threat.
That meant that Nina Gould either needed to be recruited or eliminated—whatever the case, she needed to be neutralized. She’d proven to be just as much of a hindrance as her friend Purdue. The Old Lady didn't like the Third Triumvirate already, but maybe they had their uses. The Old Lady could play along with their self-righteous games only to humor herself when she was bored. If they did join her efforts, she’d make sure that those pretentious anarchists knew their place. Their triangle meant nothing to her. It wouldn't be a larger triangle where they all shared equal power. No, she was above them, at the top of that triangle, whether they’d accept that or not.
The loss of Caesar's sword wasn't a major problem. On the contrary, it wasn't even an inconvenience really. It would’ve been nice to acquire such a historic weapon ,but what they gained instead might’ve been better—insight into Dr. Gould and this new Order of the Black Sun that Purdue had put together.
Information was often more valuable than anything material. It was how the Old Lady had gotten where she was, by knowing everything she could.
The inspection that Amaro performed made things clear enough for her.
Dr. Gould could be a valuable ally to their cause, and would be an even better weapon to use against David Purdue and the Order of the Black Sun.
