Good day Ms. Bishop, I hope your employment with the Bounty Hunter's Guild has been treating you well.

I've taken due caution to ensure that our communications here remain private. I don't have a doubt in my mind that what I'm about to ask may make you raise an eyebrow.

During a recent patrol we encountered information of interest to our Robotics Team, surrounding the work of the individual detailed in the encrypted files included in this transmission's data stream. Of note, said individual has been deceased for an unknown period of time.

What I'm asking, given with how frequently your employment takes you into the relevant regions, is for you to look into the circumstances of the Person of Interest's death. Additionally, any information you could recover about their prior studies would be greatly appreciated and compensated fairly.

I've been in contact with the Copenhagen and they've authorized me to offer you 1.000.000 sc for your immediate employment and discretion in these matters. Officially, ERA|Copenhagen will not acknowledge this communication or condone my conduct in this matter should I be questioned. Believe me when I say that I'm no more interested in causing issues for you or your employers than I am for my own.

I wouldn't ask you to keep an ear to the deck if I didn't have reason to believe that circumstances of the POI's death may have been suspect. While I can't confirm the potential for danger in your investigations, I want to be up-front with the risks associated. Never the less, I've learned to trust you and your professionalism.

Regardless of your decision, I hope that you're keeping safe in your travels. The door to Athabasca's Mess is always open to you.

Best regards,

Captain Kathryn Harper Brandt | ERA|Athabasca | ZSF-427-25

Evening ma'am.

It has been a few weeks since we last worked together but I think I will do us both a favor and save the pleasantries for next time we meet in person. Right now I am out in Omicron Delta, doin some contracted security work for Phoenix in regards to an ongoing Corsair threat. But, I will be making my way back to House space soon... hell with the way the Core is stirring up trouble here I am more than willing to stay an arm's length away from their mess for a bit. I will take your contract, and make my way for the Barrier soon. In the meantime, I will touch base with one of my contacts in the scientific community, see if he can shed any light on this man. The Technocrats are cagey, and I doubt they'd want me to just walk up and knock on the door myself. If the trail does lead me to some tetchy folks, I assure you I will be ready.

But if push comes to shove, I can always try knocking on that door myself. But I will save that for a last resort, since I wouldn't consider them completely willing to be honest with me. I will contact you on this channel once I have an update for you.

Yours sincerely

Evening ma'am.

I ain't gonna lie, I have been scraping through my contacts for data on this guy and it's been a chore to find out much, but I met with someone today who had an awful lot of insight on the matter. Nothing definitive on his disappearance, but I have information on his previous projects and his acquaintances. The source is reliable. I've attached an edited communication log with his name excluded for his protection.

Yours sincerely

[18.02.2025 23:49:43] [CONTACT]: *looks around* ...
[18.02.2025 23:49:49] [CONTACT]: Guess we are finally in the clear.
[18.02.2025 23:50:04] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: So what have you found?
[18.02.2025 23:50:42] [CONTACT]: Right then. Besides some database digging, I'm able to throw in some more. *smirks* But first things first.
[18.02.2025 23:51:05] [CONTACT]: *clears throat and sends her the copied file* So. Dr. Robert Smith.
[18.02.2025 23:51:37] [CONTACT]: The database entry in the [REDACTED] did not show anything significant surprises.
[18.02.2025 23:51:46] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: No?
[18.02.2025 23:52:02] [CONTACT]: We have a few scarce records of him. The times he purchased something from [REDACTED], and one collab.
[18.02.2025 23:52:26] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: What was he working on?
[18.02.2025 23:52:48] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: And what'd he get?
[18.02.2025 23:53:18] [CONTACT]: *points at the opened file* As you said, he is indeed a robotic expert. And human-computer interfaces seem to be his speciality
[18.02.2025 23:53:32] [CONTACT]: This was at least why he was hired for a special implant case.
[18.02.2025 23:53:37] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Hrmmm.... curious...
[18.02.2025 23:53:41] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Cyberware?
[18.02.2025 23:53:57] [CONTACT]: Standard payment. Standard work. Vanished again after that. And yes, the implant is labelled as Cyberware.
[18.02.2025 23:54:05] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Not an interface like a holoband, but more... direct than that?
[18.02.2025 23:54:24] [CONTACT]: Indeed.
[18.02.2025 23:54:29] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I wonder what he was doing with that, or who he was making it for... hrmm.
[18.02.2025 23:54:31] [CONTACT]: *points at another part of the file*
[18.02.2025 23:54:37] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Ah, yes... let me see.
[18.02.2025 23:54:51] [CONTACT]: ...it had a sophisticated neurological interface.
[18.02.2025 23:55:07] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I'll have to take your word on that one... this stuff is way beyond me.
[18.02.2025 23:55:38] [CONTACT]: *sighs* I am not a neurologist either, but from what I can tell, it had direct links to essential brain areas.
[18.02.2025 23:55:51] [CONTACT]: So, something highly advanced. And complicated.
[18.02.2025 23:56:08] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Something that maybe got him the wrong kind of attention it seems.
[18.02.2025 23:56:25] [CONTACT]: Hiring an outside expert for this procedure means only one thing...that this Dr. Smith must indeed be an expert.
[18.02.2025 23:56:36] [CONTACT]: Otherwise, this would've been done by one of our own surgeons.
[18.02.2025 23:56:51] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Any idea of this was a personal project of his or a commission?
[18.02.2025 23:57:33] [CONTACT]: Administration sent out a request to several scientific communities for this project. Was a commission then.
[18.02.2025 23:57:59] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I can't help but wonder if he finished his work and his client had no further use for him...
[18.02.2025 23:58:03] [CONTACT]: Then again, something aligning with your personal projects, specialities AND good payment is a nice combo.
[18.02.2025 23:58:20] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: ... maybe too good, considering he's vanished.
[18.02.2025 23:58:39] [CONTACT]: ...this is where my additional info comes in.
[18.02.2025 23:59:23] [CONTACT]: You see, by pure chance, someone with a LOT of contacts and knowledge happened to show up here at 15.
[18.02.2025 23:59:33] [CONTACT]: During the recent battle, that is.
[18.02.2025 23:59:41] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Why do I get a feeling it's a name I've heard before...
[18.02.2025 23:59:50] [CONTACT]: Does the callsign CivilServant ring a bell?
[19.02.2025 00:00:01] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Oh you've got to be shitting me...
[19.02.2025 00:00:10] [CONTACT]: *smirks*
[19.02.2025 00:00:11] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Yes. I've crossed paths with the man.
[19.02.2025 00:00:18] [CONTACT]: Who hasn't, at this point...
[19.02.2025 00:00:30] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: He's tied directly to this?
[19.02.2025 00:00:50] [CONTACT]: Now now, no need to paint the devil at the wall, as we say in Rheinland...
[19.02.2025 00:01:15] [CONTACT]: Seeing him in battle, and offering a drink in the Freeport afterwards, I took the chance to ask for Robert's name.
[19.02.2025 00:01:25] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I'm listening....
[19.02.2025 00:01:51] [CONTACT]: Knowing he has a LOT of sources, and knows things.
[19.02.2025 00:02:17] [CONTACT]: So, turns out, our Servant knows Robert.
[19.02.2025 00:02:33] [CONTACT]: But only from some chance encounters at Barrier. Where they both tend to hang out frequently.
[19.02.2025 00:02:42] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: How did they know each other? Personal? Professional? Hmm, ah, a passing meeting then...
[19.02.2025 00:02:52] [CONTACT]: Indeed. Nothing business related.
[19.02.2025 00:03:29] [CONTACT]: So. Smith does indeed visit Barrier frequently, and he is certainly an expert on the field.
[19.02.2025 00:03:44] [CONTACT]: Both statements are also in accordance with someone else.
[19.02.2025 00:04:01] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: His employer?
[19.02.2025 00:04:32] [CONTACT]: Nope. Someone I trust enough to directly ask them. Leviathan.
[19.02.2025 00:04:45] [CONTACT]: Haven't mentioned your name or why I asked in both cases, of course.
[19.02.2025 00:04:50] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I wonder if he's been holding out on me...
[19.02.2025 00:05:24] [CONTACT]: *shrugs and smirks* That is a possibility, for you and me. But usually, Lev is pretty cooperative with me. Being a friend-
[19.02.2025 00:05:27] [CONTACT]: -of the family.
[19.02.2025 00:05:34] [CONTACT]: So I took his word as granted.
[19.02.2025 00:05:57] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: We have a working relationship, sometimes I shoot at him, sometimes I shoot things with him... depends on business.
[19.02.2025 00:06:00] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: It ain't personal.
[19.02.2025 00:06:08] [CONTACT]: Heh, sounds like him alright.
[19.02.2025 00:06:19] [CONTACT]: ...and also like a certain Hunter.
[19.02.2025 00:06:22] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: He's amicable but, I doubt either of us are willing to trust the other as far as we could throw them.
[19.02.2025 00:06:22] [CONTACT]: *winks*
[19.02.2025 00:06:34] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Heh.
[19.02.2025 00:06:43] [CONTACT]: Oh yeah, he is playing all kinds of schemes.
[19.02.2025 00:07:03] [CONTACT]: Then again, he has never let me down, even in serious situations. So why lying to me about a trivial question?
[19.02.2025 00:07:23] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: It all depends on just what our dear Doctor was getting into I suppose...
[19.02.2025 00:07:45] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Did he or Civil Servant shed any light on the matter of the Doctor's disappearance?
[19.02.2025 00:08:23] [CONTACT]: Sadly, no. Only proving what you already knew, or suspected. *lights cigar*
[19.02.2025 00:08:37] [CONTACT]: *puffs* ...but that's where the fourth part of the news come in.
[19.02.2025 00:08:46] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: You found more?
[19.02.2025 00:09:09] [CONTACT]: Well, wouldn't call it more or new, but rather a memory.
[19.02.2025 00:09:29] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Alright... interesting way to put it...
[19.02.2025 00:09:34] [CONTACT]: Remember that hunch about the AI, when you mentioned this Robert guy was a robotic expert?
[19.02.2025 00:09:44] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Yeah, I remember, you mentioned Gaia.
[19.02.2025 00:10:32] [CONTACT]: Turns out the auto recorder was running, and I checked the data yesterday. This AI...Novac...
[19.02.2025 00:10:58] [CONTACT]: He apparently talked to other humans before we met at Gaia. And those humans were all scientists. Let me explain...
[19.02.2025 00:11:46] [CONTACT]: Doc Holiday was personally contacted by Novac, only a few hours prior, and in Leeds. He told me this, since I reported-
[19.02.2025 00:12:36] [CONTACT]: -the AI's veiled hint of violence, should we act against its plans. So Doc did the same, hence we both know of Novac -
[19.02.2025 00:13:01] [CONTACT]: -interviewed us about the same matter. Controls of organics. And when talking to Doc, Novac mentioned another name.
[19.02.2025 00:13:06] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: This AI is sounding like more and more bad news the more I hear about it...
[19.02.2025 00:13:24] [CONTACT]: Another scientist. A freelancing one. So apparently, he asked three scientists in a row about the same topic.
[19.02.2025 00:13:45] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: That's somewhat... disconcerting I admit...
[19.02.2025 00:13:45] [CONTACT]: Even outside the frame of [REDACTED]. If you ask me, that's a pattern involving scientists.
[19.02.2025 00:14:02] [CONTACT]: *nods* ...and that's my two cents on the matter.
[19.02.2025 00:14:19] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Hrmm.... I am not liking how this all is sounding....
[19.02.2025 00:14:30] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Thank you kindly for the information, Doc.
[19.02.2025 00:14:39] [CONTACT]: *shrugs* Yeeeah...I mean, it still could be coincidence, but...
[19.02.2025 00:14:42] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I'd be careful around this Novac from what I am hearing here.
[19.02.2025 00:14:52] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Yeah, no, naw I ain't attaching your name to any of this.
[19.02.2025 00:15:01] [CONTACT]: *smirks* Appreciated.
[19.02.2025 00:15:24] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I need to make some calls... if you'll excuse me...
[19.02.2025 00:15:40] [CONTACT]: *nods* Of course, miss Bishop. Hope that info helped you on your search.
[19.02.2025 00:15:53] [CONTACT]: It isn't much, but maybe of some use.
[19.02.2025 00:15:54] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: It's the biggest lead I've gotten so far. And I appreciate it greatly.
[19.02.2025 00:16:02] [CONTACT]: Glad to hear that.
[19.02.2025 00:16:11] [CONTACT]: Oh!
[19.02.2025 00:16:13] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Small finder's fee.
[19.02.2025 00:16:29] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Heck, thanks again, [CONTACT].
[19.02.2025 00:16:32] [CONTACT]: That goes directly into restocking the ba-...I mean, med bay.
[19.02.2025 00:16:40] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Heh, you do you, [CONTACT].
[19.02.2025 00:16:55] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: Anywho, I got a message to write up.
[19.02.2025 00:16:59] [CONTACT]: You're welcome, even without the credits!
[19.02.2025 00:17:02] Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop: I appreciate it.
