C-136: Maldemar 732 (N-Space to Zarg’s World)

OK.  Let me know if/when he wants to dedicate time to it.

It’s just turned Red Shift on 211.434 when Oliver completes his research into Argyle’s IT Project #69.

Another project for Contact.

There are 47 stolen storage devices for Argyle to break into, though this time it seems whoever is taking them is not discerning and ‘anyone who leaves a PDA lying around’ is a valid target.  Most are from Mundo Zargo, a few from other worlds in Octant 7 and the balance from Pristine.

Argyle finds plenty of porn, a few obvious nuggets here and there (such as a draft policy paper on changes in the Planning Bureau and a work schedule of Comms Bureau people and Vizants related to Net Packet scheduling) but it’s mostly low level stuff.  Some of it might be useful for specific purposes but it’s difficult to tell, and for most of it he seems to have just packaged up the decrypted data and handed it over to Contact.  It seems he filled out some of his vid and music collection from this project.

There also seems to have been a stack of stolen money cards that he was asked to de-authorise, there’s some evidence of him working on ways to defeat the security on a Money Card reader, but no details of specific transactions.
