Sometimes in 2052, Kryuger received a visit from his acquaintance [[Griffin]], who asked him to retire and create a private military company named Griffin and Kryuger, staffed with armed civilian [[Tactical Doll]]s purchased using the financial backing of [[Rossartrism|a mysterious group]] interested in promoting T-Dolls for the paramilitary market. Griffin would keep a share of the profits but relinquish all management decisions to Kryuger, trusting that their interests would naturally align.

This close partnership let Kryuger provide direct data feedback about T-Dolls efficiency to IOP's main R&D subcontractor, Hermit (in reality a shell corporation used by IOP to protect its employees Persicaria and [[Lycoris]] from their former colleagues of [[90WISH]]). G&K's collaboration was instrumental in further improving T-Dolls<ref name=Files2G /> and meant that IOP was willing to occasionally take back dolls from G&K to return them to the civilian market.<ref name=Glossary /> G&K was later hired by IOP's competitor [[Sangvis Ferri]] to escort Lycoris to their underground research facilities, after the scientist decided to leave Hermit. Kryuger accepted only if SF would share Lycoris' future results with him. G&K's influence as a partner prevented Witkin from seeking retribution against Lycoris.<ref name=Files2G>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls</ref>

Aside from IOP, G&K also benefited from the support of [[KCCO]]'s [[General Carter]], a former superior of Kryuger who exerted his influence to provide G&K with better quota of maximum T-Doll employment numbers, smuggle weapons and organize media blackouts. In exchange, Kryuger handed Carter data about on Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls, which Carter could use to further his own interests by developing more powerful military androids and secure his place within the New [[Soviet Union]] military.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]], Chapter 8-1</ref> This secret partnership eventually led to G&K being chosen as KCCO's scapegoat for their own plans involving {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}}.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]], Chapter 9-3</ref>
