Particularly when you consider LP already receives disability compensation as a super-hero, with almost everyone super and apparently hundreds or even thousands of super-hero groups around they’d certainly be ripe for things like charity help and government start-up grants and the like.
More likely it’s a private corporation that specialises in manufacturing crime fighting kits, and the kit is free and fully functional for the first month, but after that, they either pay, or it switches to only reports crimes that affect the corporation.
Personally, I think it’s that she’s done so many good deeds (even the ones that were less than bright, like giving half of LP’s disability check to charity) that whichever GG is wearing the halo can occasionally receive some divine intervention. She WAS given her powers by a priest, after all.
Heck, her earlier statement about having a chat with women who were implied to be prostitutes might have ended up with a friendly conversation. Or they got the call from Gyrognome that the basement was set up before she could try. Either way, it’s more evidence.
Well, come to think, if I was in the business of developing crime fighting equipment, the point of gathering info might be more important than the equipment itself. So, having hardware that networked with a multitude of HQs, siphoning off the crime fighting activities of their owners, would produce a ginoromous amount of valuable data. Not to mention the possibilities of manipulating their owners by displaying or not displaying crucial information…
If that stuff is genuine, no way: Gyrognome would just remind the devices that refusal of payment is a crime and that he now wants to use them for the customary groin attack.
Given the city they live in, it’s actually pretty likey there are charities or government grants that cover some base level crime fighting gear.

Hm, I could see that too, except probably something more like a subscription service.
Exactly.
I think you came closest with that “only reports certain crimes” thing
Or they could be blackmailed to pay. She did give their names and address.
…………………….
GG’s Guardian Angels working overtime again,….

Great! Nothing can go wrong now, right?
RIGHT?
LP has a point so big it could topple Godzilla!
Things that can go wrong: Landlord considering this a buisness venture and demand extra rent/ note it’s not part of their leasing contract.
Bolfman, nuff said.

Wasn’t being dumb kind of LP’s thing?
Maybe he got sick of everyone else being dumb
He’s got the most experience by now …
Which means he’s got seniority.
But will he be able to block Gyrognome’s rent attacks?

TANSTAAFL!
You know, when LP is the voice of sane and rational thinking in the group, that really can’t be a good sign.
