Ich glaube, wir haben das S.O.B.\n\nDie Zusammenarbeit mit BH Adalai Gorne hat sich gelohnt. Gerade erst mit der Bearbeitung der \u00dcbergabe fertig und wir haben den Verd\u00e4chtigen jetzt in Gewahrsam. Mein Bauchgef\u00fchl sagt mir, dass das unser Mann ist.\n\nDer T\u00e4ter ist ein Rigs Bakas; entlassener Navy Starman (rec#49921a1-5j), keine Vorstrafen und kein Rekord-Postdienst, bis er vor 9 Monaten im FTL auftauchte. Wenn der Name bekannt ist, Sir, dann weil wir Bakas als Teil der ersten Befragungsrunde mitgebracht haben. Er wurde freigelassen, da er keinen direkten Kontakt zu den Goldfinch-Akten hatte, nachdem Origin sie in den FTL gebracht hatte, aber es sieht nicht mehr so aus, als w\u00e4re das der Fall. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Bakas als \"Senior Runner\" daf\u00fcr verantwortlich war, dass die Junior-Kuriere die Richtlinien des Unternehmens in Bezug auf Lebensmittel und andere Schmuggelware in der Umkleidekabine einhielten, insbesondere die spontanen Inspektionen von Schlie\u00dff\u00e4chern. Das bedeutet, dass Bakas Zugang zum Transport-Glas des Kuriers Colby h\u00e4tte haben k\u00f6nnen, bevor die Goldfink-Akten jemals darauf platziert wurden, und sich selbst eine Hintert\u00fcr gegeben hat. Eine lose Verbindung ist sicher, aber es stellt sich heraus (und das ist der Teil, in dem Adalai das Nicken bekommt), dass die auf spec freigegebenen Dateien mit einem Kryptkey entpackt wurden, den FTL nur an Mitarbeiter w\u00e4hrend einer 6-monatigen Strecke, in der sie den Anbieter wechselten, verteilt hat. Rate mal, wer im letzten Monat dieser 6 Monate mit der Arbeit begonnen hat? Voruntersuchungen zu Bakas' pers\u00f6nlichen Effekten und Berichten haben noch nichts ergeben, aber wir haben sein Glas bis d4 geworfen, um zu sehen, ob sie mit ihrem forensischen Voodoo etwas aufdecken.\n\nWenn Adalais Informationen auf Bakas \u00fcberpr\u00fcft werden, wie ich denke, verdient sie jedes bisschen von den Credits Origin, die f\u00fcr das Bounty gebucht wurden.\n\nGore Mendal\nSonderbeauftragter\nBadgeID 92312h\nKanzlei der Anwaltschaft\nPrime, Terra III, Terra, Terra\n\n\nEmpfangen 2944-11-04_09:17 SET\nTO: SA GORE MENDAL\nCC: SC PENELOPE SONTA; ASC DARVIS LINSEN\nVON: SAC MATHILDE PRADCHAPHET\nRe: CaseFile#pt-45e1dl[Digitaler Diebstahl \/ Herkunft]\nDas ist eine hervorragende Arbeit, Mendal.

I let my anger get the better of me and for that I really do apologize.\n\nBut listen to me, sir, this isn\u2019t right. I know that Bakas is connected to this whole mess one way or another. You should have seen him in processing. Ice the whole time. Hell, now I\u2019m starting to think that he expected to get out of here as soon as we had him in cuffs. When I asked him if he wanted to comm anyone he said he \u201cdidn\u2019t need to.\u201d\n\nOn top of that, when I was digging into FTL, I learned that there was another purported data breach a few months back. Some piece of work named Burnett was brought in by Hennessy over in Oya for swiping some weapon schematics. A day after he was in custody he was released again for \u201cbooking irregularities.\u201d Something bigger is going on here, Matty.\n\nDespite my better judgment, I\u2019m releasing Bakas now, but until you order me to stop, I\u2019m going to keep looking into this case through any means possible.\n\nGore Mendal\nSpecial Agent\nBadgeID 92312h\nOffice of the Advocacy\nPrime, Terra III, Terra\n\n\n\n\n\nReceived 2944-11-04_17:04 SET\nTO: SA GORE MENDAL\nCC:\nFROM: DIR.
