Who is Usher?
“Yeah, I think Vizier Dickie was still getting the hang of things.
“But it interested this Usher…”
She shrugs.
“Political games, I guess.”
Useful Merchants?
“Why?”
The Argyle Notebook
Emulator
“Alright, so is that the…thing…you found out? Is that a Notebook thing?”
Argyle
“I’ve picked up he’s some sort of security genius. Is that something he’d do? Run when you mentioned this Notebook, but leave it behind? Is he depressed and drunk enough to make an error like that?”
Usher
“Seems like that kind of type.”
Merchants
“Left his lover behind, she thinks he’s dead, can’t contact her. All alone. Isolated.”
Emulator
“Yes, very important if Fred knew it was being developed…”
Argyle
“No. He’s paranoid and smart. All he said about the money was he thought Fred was something of a… Pisvlek.” He points to her as he says that. “Only reason I’d see would be if he figured he was going to be chased anyway, he could run and leave the notebook and give us the slip…” he ponders. “No. He has it. I’m certain.”
