Background wise his dad is coming off as incompetent, and I’m not sure that was intended; this is mostly because the events leading to his son losing his arms are contrived. He let his son tag along at a mission so dangerous the kid had NO right to be there, took no precaution to keep an eye on him despite noticing and knowing how dangerous the mission was, let his son advance ahead of the formation and just stood there instead of stopping him despite the danger, failed to sense the grimm in time, and decided to cut the chains holding the door, wait for it to fall and crush his sons arms…instead of cutting the arms of the monster, that incidentally was distracted from its meal by his troops, and THEN cutting the chain…oh…kai…

I think taking the dad out of this scenario would make this whole thing a lot less contrived. If Garnet was that much of a dick it stands to reason some of the ones on the mission would have hated him enough to get him in the situation, while others would have been professional enough to save him, but potentially only get there after his arms were crushed to the point of them becoming stumps…yeah even in this scenario the gate thing doesn’t make a lot of sense to me unless one of the people on the mission secretly hopped it would crush his skull.

While I’m at it I should point out the mission doesn’t fit a private security firm because they weren’t securing anything or anyone, which would make the Chateaunoir Company a private military firm instead.

And lastly, Kings voice working through electronics can’t be a thing as far as I can tell. Semblances are an active use of aura, Electronic devises replicate what it heard as best it can, but it won’t replicate aura, so the commands won’t work in this scenario.
