Your DATA

Greetings Mr. Andrew Marlin,

I apologize for resorting to these tactics, but you’ve left me with no other choice. I couldn't use our official com system to send you such data. Hence I decided to send you the data you requested through a neutral network, and I hijacked the data in this classic scam.

The transmission you’re looking for is located in Earhart, in the Wayfarer, at the top-right corner of D2.
It appears our side already deciphered it, and found it led to the Zeta Nephilim wreck—which they deemed a dead end. Perhaps you’ll uncover something more there. They didn’t bother investigating further because it turned out to be an old survey that we already have it in our databanks. It's about the Kappa system surveyed by the Omicroners from fifteen years ago.

I believe that’s all.

Pretty ingenious I must admit. Hijacking some scam transmission? Heh. Almost had me for a moment there. I've been looking forward for this data for a long while. I'm just glad I didn't have to track you down to get it. Almost expected to have to carry out my... promise.

Disappointing to learn all that fuss was over a dead end trail, but Gammu's battle has come and gone, and for better or worse it wasn't some revelation around the secrets of the AI's that we could have used against them. Still, I'll wander through the trail and see if anything different sticks out.

You can consider yourself released from your "contract" to me. I'll see you around Sirius.
