We won't be getting much help from him. Still, I wouldn't bet on clueless.
It's clear that CERES is lying to us about plenty of things. But I'm not sure Mosley-san was involved in anything that happened out there, other than bringing us back. I don't know what his aim is, but I'd like to find out.
I don't think he was responsible, either. It didn't sound like he's super passionate about his job, either, but he wasn't about to let anything slip, either. Everything was creepily well-rehearsed, you know? Even the contradictory stuff.
[ which is certainly easier to do in a text message than speaking to someone directly. would he have any tells in person to pick up on? brain-washing is plausible. of course, dipper always think brain-washing is plausible. ]
[ After dealing with Katsura's antagonistic paranoia, Dipper's reasoned skepticism is a refreshing change. It's also a reminder of why Yu likes him in the first place.
He also, in an oddly physical way, feels very aware of the knowledge of the implants in his eyes that CERES may or may not have anything to do with. Of the fact that he's talking to Dipper on his CERES issued CereVice. How much precaution is needed when discussing these things, and how much of Katsura's paranoia is actually warranted? ]
Those are the exact same conclusions I came to. Whatever his real position, I don't think he's against us or for us. He's a little flippant, but... mainly, I think he's self-interested.
[ but dipper's thoughts are similar to yu's - he's well aware that this conversation isn't private to just them. and from what mosley had said when dipper asked him about the implants, dipper's current theory is that it is CERES behind them. they still need to address a way around that. they needed to be able to keep secrets. ]
[ The song predates Dipper's awareness of pop culture, but he might've heard it on the radio in the car once or twice... ]
Someone self-interested can usually be bought, too. [ Like Grunkle Stan, the most self-interested person Dipper knows. That guy would do just about anything for a buck. They'd just need to figure out what Mosley wanted that they could actually give him.
Probably something dumb, like free haircuts. Or atrocious paintings featuring himself. ]
I'll let you know if I find out anything else about him, too. We'll be better off if we pool our information.
[ Be proud, Yu, Dipper doesn't pool his information lightly. ]

[ It just went over his head. ]
Regardless, I plan to talk to him as long as I can. Someone who's self-interested will be hard to predict. The more we know about him, the better.
