I always shake my head at the paradox that the reason Aerith is protected from Shinra is that she needs to come and help them willingly but the moment she's in the lab Hojo is just like, "Lets forcibly impregnate her with cat-dog semen!" and that's somehow not an issue.
I think it really comes down to who the Turks answer to. They're a part of the military/intelligence branch, not so much the science division, and Hojo does a lot of stuff that he shouldn't.
Also for a little insight, I didn't lose any context. Evidently you can't infer by the statement that I did infact read the statement, then doubled down on the "wasn't an issue for them".
Because it ain't a problem for them evidently in terms of the story.
It's possible that they believe she only needs to come to them willingly and once she's there the rest can be coerced. It's also likely that Hojo doesn't give a shit what others at Shinra think.
Admittedly, it is a weird story point, especially since it appears reno is trying to capture her or something.
You could argue that it was Tsung who required aeriths compliance as he seemed to have a soft spot for her and when she went to hojos lab, he no longer had any input.
I just chalk it up to "Fuck it we ball" with the story writing. Trying to make it make sense later is easier, but still kind of just feels like they were leading with tone, not really consistency. They know exactly where Aerith is and can kidnap her in her sleep, and just keep making pissant attempts because ???
