She stopped doing it about a year ago when her son who was a Meta was lynched and killed by Anti Meta extremists. No known connections worth noting in Paradigm's files.
...Aaron doesn't think that excuses her actions, but he does understand. That poor, poor woman. If the file gives a name for the place she worked at, he'll note it down, maybe worth talking to them later.
He'll do a search in the general database for cloning powers, next. Specifically, ones that work like Biker's, producing clones in response to physical trauma. He'll also open tabs to do searches in the archive's mission reports section, seeing if there's any mention of that cloning power, anyone wearing the Biker's outfit, or sightings of that symbol on the pin Erika had.
The guy has a string of priors longer than a country mile. Mostly small time crimes and probation violations. Seems he is really big into anarchy and has been arrested with several pins like the one Erika had. As well as spray painting the symbol from Chicago to DC.

A lot of meta human criminals are tied to him. And a lot of non meta criminals as well. All of them seem to be small time criminals. Nothing as big as burning down a hospital or taking a school hostage.
Aaron's curious. Someone arrested as often as him has been interrogated loads of times, no doubt, so he sees if there's any transcripts. Anything that'll shed light on him, his actions, any psychological weak points.
Hm. Makes sense. Sounds like this guy's the ringleader. He saves this file just like Erika's and Victor's, then moves on.
Time to search the general database, both reports and criminal files, for the exploding girl. Same terms as when he looked up Imperial kinetic energy users, but tossing in a couple more, like "masquerade mask".

Too broad a search pattern maybe. A search for "masquerade mask" in the field reports, and kinetic energy generation/explosion inducement in the metahuman personal files.
Hm. Aaron goes, tracks down the files he found on Victor, Ronnie and Erika, logs off the terminal and heads out for now, to find Mat! On the way, he'll flip through Erika's file, thinking on what he'd found.
Does the file give any info about her son? Or the case around his death?
(And we can either keep actually tracking Mat down in here or go to his office thread, whichever's fine.)

What's the son's name? Any names on the ringleaders?
His hands start to clench into fists and he has to stop himself so as not to ruin the folder! He's remembering his encounter with Dr. Franklin and his mob.
Because there was no answer on Mat's phone, and Aaron doesn't know where the guy could be, he's heading back to Mat's office to wait there for him! He'll read while he walks.
"Found some stuff on our anarchist buddies, but you weren't in when I called. Figured I'd wait here for you."
He indicates the files in his hands! "Not finding much evidence of Imperial involvement, but I've found whole files on three of 'em. Bomb lady seems to be a new player though, archives came up empty."
"A first offender, and two petty criminals, one of whom hasn't been arrested or reported active in five years. This whole thing still seems too organised for them, though."
Maybe bomb lady was the key? What led them from petty crime to burning hospitals and blowing up schools? At least Erika had a motive that made sense...
"The biker, Ronnie, seems to be the leader. If I could nab him, or get the pyro in the Vault to talk, I think I can get to the bottom of this."
"He's spraypainted their symbol everywhere from here to DC, has the most criminal ties, the longest record, and he's been arrested with a number of pins just like the one found on that pyro, Erika. Plus while Victor - that's our giant - and the bomb lady were with the hostages, at the school, Ronnie here was monitoring everything, with clones in the halls and the principal's office."
It's more an inference than something he has proof of, though. "The giant is more hired muscle, going off his file, and the pyro hasn't ever done anything prior to showing up at the hospital. That leaves him as the one most likely to be in charge, unless our mysterious masked lady is organising everything."
