Sextans's mishandling of Claude Family member [[Darren Claude]] during the original expected recovery, and Darture's repeated failure to recover the asset from [[the Commander]] was an embarrassment for Rurik.

Rurik's arrogance eventually led to him being considered a liability by the rest of the Conglomerate, who tasked [[Winfried Zimmerman]] from [[Cecht FABN]] with taking Rurik and the Girard Group down.

Due to Rurik and the Girard Group's popularity in Odesa, the company was expected to keep their administrative authority over the city after the end of its purification process. The assassination of the previous Chief of Odesa and attempted assassination of NOMFA Councilor [[Kalina]] in ODE-01 by Sextans, presented by Girard as a rogue Doll, led to the loss of this opportunity, but the Group didn't put any resistance: Rurik was still the front runner for the position of interim Chief, since the URNC's Central Government specified they should be elected based on public approval. The Group also attempted to appease NOMFA by collaborating with the investigation of the ODE-01 incident, where Kalina was a suspect, and not protesting the fines incurred by the same incident.<ref name=LS12 /> The ODE-01 incident only caused a small temporary dip in Girard's stock prices.<ref name=LS13 />
