Oaths Are for the Obedient

[Leo]

Much of what he said tracked. Mr.Serrano was indeed a P.I. from the Omicrons, the background check on him had gone that far at least. Though...the man was suspicious. He was pushing this data hard and Dagger-2 caught the "scent" of panic in his eyes. It was barely contained, but it was there. Dagger-2 maintained his composure so as to not give anything away. He reviewed the data again. He was right about the flight logs and inconsistencies. Some things didn't add up, but things never added up in the Omicrons. Various houses tested advanced tech out there and with the Core redirecting a lot of their focus from Kappa and Zeta over the past few months, it wouldn't surprise him if some of this data was related to some kind of experiment they were running in Delta. Even if this man was compromised, all of the intel provided to him by Serrano was inconclusive that he was on any trajectory to Liberty. Where was the data related to New Berlin that he had indicated in his communication? Dagger-2 considered sending this intelligence to the Order in the Edgeworlds. While technically a "hostile" intelligence agency, the LSF and Order had worked together in the past despite their growing differences--and this was right up their alley. Then there was Serrano himself. Not many, even now, knew about infection or compromised assets, even in that region of space. True, he was a Private Investigator so he might have heard rumors about it, but concrete "infection" knowledge? Something rang untrue about him but Dagger-2 couldn't place it...and it was bothering him. "Mr.Serrano," Dagger-2 said gently sliding the pad back towards him. "no doubt you believe that you have something here yet much of what you've showed me can be dismissed as poor record keeping. The Zoners in Omicron Delta have spotty records at best, even if they're better than their siblings at the other Freeports. Additionally--and surely you know this operating in the Edgeworlds yourself--not all pilots in that region keep to their scheduled flight plans due to various encounters. Finally, all you've showed me is data from the Edgeworlds, which I don't need to tell you is well outside of my jurisdiction. In your communication you mentioned New Berlin and Liberty, all I see here is information from Omicron Delta with no evidence he is making a trek to anything with in my purview. "Why did you not take this to the Order instead? Why come to us specifically? Where is this data that indicates he is on a trajectory to enter Liberty? Your intelligence has holes in it, Mr.Serrano." Dagger-2 leaned back in his seat and narrowed his eyes.
