"Of course," he said, quite graciously, and not at all like it was an absolutely ridiculous question.
Kurotsuchi was too happy in his sprawling Draklor complex to ever come to the Desert Palace for more than a meeting, but the two were known associates if only because they had a shared duty of care over The Archadian Empire's main continent. Draklor was to The Empire what both Gapra and Shinra's Midgar Laboratories were to Bancour. Much of it was top secret, with different levels of clearance required for certain areas. Junior scientists, even those who had passed stringent tests for certain subjects, were not allowed into Kurotsuchi's private sectors. That was the price of him working for them - funding and relative privacy so long as he put out what they required on a regular basis.
It had worked well for both the government and the scientist up until now.
He had no need to come to the Palace or, indeed, apply for the laboratories there. Any experiments that resulted in artificially enhanced minions for Aizen were undoubtedly performed and, it had to be said, perfected, in Draklor. He wasn't sure how much Hojo knew about the way Orochimaru had died, but he was fairly certain that Hojo would not make the mistake of thinking that Aizen's subordinates were his work, not when there was a far more likely culprit.
"There were some who did not survive the process, of course, but that was to be expected. All of those who survived and recovered have matched or exceeded expectations," he told him, opting not to mention Wonderweiss's unfortunate reaction to the process, or the numbers who had died either in the Mako phase or as a result of the Hollow.
This man was known for experimenting with Mako and, Aizen thought, quite probably Mist as well. He had read the term 'Makonoid' in association with Hojo, albeit in very secret files that he was lucky to get his hands on. Said files would have almost certainly been smuggled out of Midgar by some brave soul and delivered to Kurotsuchi who had, in turn, given them to him to read.
He did not want to inform Hojo that Mako exposure or a prior Mist Mutation were a requirement of Hollow/Human fusion, nor a potential method of reversing the effects that Wonderweiss had suffered on account of his poisoning and resulting Mako Sickness during the initial process.
There were just some things that rival whackjobs who frequently and flagrantly break the laws of nature did not need to know.
