C-135: Maldemar 732 (N-Space to Zarg’s World)
Arrival at Zarg’s World
Oliver establishes the ship’s safety in local space and sorts out the light-lagged comm chatter.
Blackout Bug
Is that something he’d like to actively work on?
If so, how would he like to fit it into his schedule?
Routine
Vid Time
Will he watch any vids before arriving at the planet?
(I’m assuming even if the answer is yes, he won’t do so on the Cycle the ship arrived, he’s just seen one and Erin is busy re-tuning the FTL drives.)
Research
Late in Blue Shift on 211.438 Oliver completes his research into IT Project #68.
Project #68 dates from about 210.5. It is work for Patron.
Argyle has been given a multi-part task:
- Decrypt a storage device believed to contain a copy of a database
- He was successful, finding the database as expected
- The database seems to be an extensive picture of Trade Bureau activity in Octant 3
- Take that database and integrate it with another that he has been given
- Its a complex database of ship and people movements and assets, its origin unclear and specific identities have been hidden
- Look for correlations according to a set of criteria
- Argyle has produced a report which seems to be about identifying high- and low-risk opportunities to leverage certain trade deals
- Project the correlations into the future
- Argyle has attempted to do so, and assigned reliability metrics to the predictions, which tend to drop off over time
No new vids.
Blackout Bug will just be a theory in his head for now, he’ll focus on the glasses first.
Research: Okay, cool.
