BALTIMORE SHIPYARD, NEW YORK SYSTEM, 1100 HOURS, DATE: 30/01

"Ah good to see you again Jason, come in... She's ready." Cameron Igar was standing by the door to his apartment.
"You took your time with this Cameron." Jason replied. "However I suppose you've been occupied with your work."
"That I have. Come. Come." He was gesturing with hands to Jason to come toward his work desk.
Jason eyes widened as a Hologram of a work came to life above the screen on the desk.

"I hope you didn't spend all this time creating a pretty face." Jason scowled.
"No. No. You can thank EVE for that. It's remarkable how she does some things automatically. She's picked up on speaking English almost fluently too now. She's all ready for what she needs to do Jason."
"Very well. Thank You. And what about your payment? I'm sure you want at least something in return. You did also give me one of your old transports I believe last time." Jason replied

"Ah yes. I remember now. Detritus Haul. I'll arrange something soon to return the favor. I promise you. Don't get worried it won't be much of a hassle." Cameron turned off the screen and ejected the removable drive the contents of EVE on it and handed it Jason. "I got a question for you though, are you really after Markus or his money? I know his disappearance was rather... strange. Would love to catch up with the old codger one day."
Jason thought about it for a while. "My uncle of course. Aside money though its strange as to why it all disappeared. If the money is gone then its gone. I just want answers. And you know she's going to help me with that."
"Very well. I best leave you to her then. I wish you the best of luck Jason." Cameron shook Jason's hand and they both departed.

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK SYSTEM, 1800 HOURS, DATE: 30/01

"Eve. Power on." Jason was sitting in his desk chair and the hologram of the AI came to live on the screen in front of him.
"Hello Jason. How may I be of service?" The voice of the AI was tinny but resembled much of a female.
"I need you to find any and every single record of Markus Rixus. Search through all broadcasts, all transmissions, everything. Then report back to me with your findings. And while your at it play through the logs from Markus Rixus. From 783 to 786."
"Very well sir. It shall be done."
