Oliver’s Cabin

It takes a while, but Oliver finds this, buried in the external comms buffer code.

He can track down the messages (60170 to 60173) it’s referencing, but it will take him some extra effort to decrypt them.  There’s another routine too – if a specific message is put into the comm buffer it will set an internal variable system.triggers.alswa = true.  Oliver hasn’t yet determined the content of that trigger message.

There’s no reference to selling people into slavery that he finds.
