I'm in a meeting. Can we discuss this later?
Is this from the entertainment feed?
[Transcription]
Rhindel Frezn: You should've received all my credentials by now. What's the holdup?
Colony Security Officer: Something about your credentials doesn't check out.
Rhindel Frezn: [Looks offended and plants hands on hips] What's that supposed to mean?
Colony Security Officer: I've been doing some digging… Something doesn't add up. You say you're from GharHrav Colony but your accent's all wrong. You have work records from Mihara and New Tideland, but your travel log indicates you went through PortFreeCommerce. That's quite a detour.
Rhindel Frezn: Stay out of my business!
Colony Security Officer: I'm responsible for this colony's safety. Everyone here is my business.
[Rhindel Frezn becomes visibly agitated]
Colony Security Officer: I have some friends on PortFreeCommerce, you know. They sent me a record of someone getting some impressive physical modifications. [Looms over Rhindel, looking intimidating]. You're a corporate spy. You killed the real Rhindel Frezn and had yourself modified so you could take his place.
Rhindel Frezn: That's ridiculous. You can't prove that.
Colony Security Officer: [Grins slyly] The real Rhindel Frezn spent two years working on the Bivalt Three mining colony. Everyone there is exposed to small amounts of radiation that leave a telltale signature. A simple blood test should be enough to confirm whether you've ever worked there.
[Rhindel Frezn and Colony Security Officer both reach for their sidearms]

Ratthi
Did you just receive something from SecUnit?
Yes. Something from the entertainment feed I think.
Odd. It's never sent me something before.
There's something in the data. Just a minute.
Ratthi, get over to the common room now.

You don't need to use code. I'm very friendly and can assist guests with all their needs. How can I help you today?
I can help myself. Go back to helping the guest in Suite 1401. He's having a much worse day than I am. Nothing's as bad as having a faulty connection and getting all your media downloads corrupted.
I can help both of you. I'm ver

Dr. Ayda Mensah
Thank you for agreeing to speak with me, Dr. Mensah.
Not at all, Mr. Frada.
What can you tell me about the recent incident with GrayCris? The company accuses you of corporate espionage.
Scan-in = Sys.Scan-in(System.in); System.out.dwnln("101001"); n = in.internal.Informat(); array = int[fso];
The accusations are completely false and meant to hamper the ongoing litigation against the company.
Is that why you recently went into hiding?
[Search successful. Data located. Download commencing]
I was not in hiding. I was taken hostage by elements of GrayCris who wished to ransom me in exchange for the evidence against them that's currently in the possession of Preservation Alliance.
That's quite an accusation, Dr. Mensah.

I've sent you the relevant footage to peruse at your disposal.
Media Packet
Ah. I see it now. Thank you, Dr. Mensah. I'll be sure to review it before submitting the completed interview. I do hope it includes footage from TranRollinHyfa. I hear there was a spectacular firefight.
[Download: Data Packet Download Completion 63%]
I'm sure your viewers will find it very entertaining. The actual experience was less so.
Yes of course. I'm certain it was.
You say you were held as a hostage. What were the conditions like? Were you well treated?
[Download: Data Packet Download Completion 85%]
If you consider being held in a small room with restraints and an energy weapon pointed at your head good treatment, then the conditions were excellent.
Noted, Dr. Mensah. What about the SecUnit that was allegedly dispatched to assist you?
[Download: Data Packet Download Completion 93%]
I have nothing to add on that matter.
Is the unit still functional?
[Download: Data Packet Download Completion 99%]
The current status of the SecUnit is not relevant to the GrayCris litigation.
Is there anything else you can share with me today, Dr. Mensah?
[Download: Download Complete]
I simply wish to reiterate that this latest incident is yet another example of the danger GrayCris poses. The company is willing to go to any lengths to avoid responsibility for its actions and it continues to endanger lives in its pursuit of that goal.
Thank you for your time today, Dr. Mensah. I'll be sure to send you the link to the story when we've completed splicing the segments. I'm sure you'll pleased with the final result.
Good day, Mr. Frada.

The download was successful. The fake data packet should have your spy headed on a wild goose chase now.
Thank you for help. We would never have detected his intrusion attempts without you. How did you realize?
There were some anomalies in his credentials. When I checked them against his data trail it was clear he was sent by GrayCris to try to find the location of the RaviHyral data.
I realized he'd already infiltrated your datafeed when he first contacted you for the interview so I couldn't warn you directly.
So you sent the data encoded in the media. Gurathin explained that part to me. He and Ratthi were adamant that I should go through with the interview to avoid suspicion.
It looks like he believes he got the correct data. You should be back in Preservation space before he realizes his mistake.
Where did you send him?
RavGharral.
I've never heard of it.
It's a small moon on the other side of the Corporate Rim. I was sent there once with a resource analysis group. Afterwards I had to spend six cycles in stasis just to get the mud out of my non-organic parts.
It sounds perfect for Mr. Frada.
