C-205: Maldemar 732 (docked at Zarg’s World Highport), Oliver’s Cabin
Who is Usher?
She says, “although, you guys did show up at the spaceport in a blown up rented Aerostat, with Vizier Dicard parading about like someone out of a spy vid…”
Useful Merchants?
Indeed…how eponymous!
“He got drunk a lot? Is that…usual, from what you can tell from his writings?”
The Argyle Notebook
“Yeah, I played a little bit with chip emulators in Higher Ed. I guess reverse engineering what’s in the emulator could tell you something about what it’s being used for..”
She looks thoughtful, “What I don’t understand though, is why would Argyle refuse to sell the notebook for the giant bucket of Money you offered him, but then run away from his home and leave it behind to be found for free?”
Messaging
Oliver can send that when he and Erin have finished talking.
The message will roam the Net, spreading out from Zarg’s World via Net Packets and comms infrastructure until it encounters Usher and he checks his inbox.
Usher
“Indeed… not very subtle.”
Merchants
“Unsure, he seems depressed.”
Notebook
“Probably, but I think I already know that.”
“Indeed, it very well could be lost to us.”
Messaging
Cool.
