ADVOCACY ARCHIVE INTRA-AGENCY MESSAGES Received 2944-11-04_09:12 SET TO: SAC MATHILDE PRADCHAPHET CC: FROM: SA GORE MENDAL CaseFile#pt-45e1dl [Digital Larceny / Origin] Good news, sir. I think we got the S.O.B. Working with BH Adalai Gorne panned out. Just finished processing the handoff and we have the suspect in custody now. My gut’s telling me this is our guy. The perp is one Rigs Bakas; discharged Navy starman (rec#49921a1-5j), no priors, and no employment record post-service till he shows up at FTL 9 months ago. If the name’s familiar, sir, it’s because we brought in Bakas as part of the first round of questioning. He was released since he had no direct contact with the Goldfinch files after Origin brought them in to FTL, but it’s no longer seeming like that’s the case. Turns out that Bakas as a “senior runner” was in charge of double-checking that the junior couriers were adhering to the company’s policies concerning food and other contraband in the changing area; more specifically, impromptu locker inspections. This means that Bakas could have had access to the courier Colby’s transport-Glas before the Goldfinch files were ever placed on it, and given himself a backdoor. A loose connection for sure, but it turns out (and this is the part where Adalai gets the nod) that the files released onto spec were unpacked using a cryptkey that FTL only distributed to employees during a 6-month stretch where they were switching vendors. Guess who started work doing the last month of those 6 months? Preliminary searches on Bakas’ personal effects and accounts haven’t turned up anything yet, but we’ve tossed his Glas up to d4 to see if they uncover anything with their forensic voodoo. If Adalai’s info checks out on Bakas like I think it will, she deserves every bit of the credits Origin posted for the bounty.

ADVOCACY-ARCHIV INTRA-AGENTUR-NACHRICHTEN Empfangen 2944-11-04_09:12 SET TO: SAC MATHILDE PRADCHAPHET CC: VON: SA GORE MENDAL CaseFile#pt-45e1dl[Digitaler Diebstahl / Herkunft] Gute Nachrichten, Sir. Ich glaube, wir haben das S.O.B. Die Zusammenarbeit mit BH Adalai Gorne hat sich gelohnt. Gerade erst mit der Bearbeitung der Übergabe fertig und wir haben den Verdächtigen jetzt in Gewahrsam. Mein Bauchgefühl sagt mir, dass das unser Mann ist. Der Täter 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 wäre das der Fall. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Bakas als "Senior Runner" dafür 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 Schließfächern. Das bedeutet, dass Bakas Zugang zum Transport-Glas des Kuriers Colby hätte haben können, bevor die Goldfink-Akten jemals darauf platziert wurden, und sich selbst eine Hintertür 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 während 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' persönlichen 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. Wenn Adalais Informationen auf Bakas überprüft werden, wie ich denke, verdient sie jedes bisschen von den Credits Origin, die für das Bounty gebucht wurden.

Es gab viel Aufmerksamkeit in diesem Fall, und ich denke, jeder wird erleichtert sein, dass wir kurz davor stehen, in diesem Fall Anklage zu erheben. Ich habe die Genehmigung für Gorne unterschrieben, so dass sie, sobald Anklage erhoben wird, ihr Kopfgeld erhält. Ich habe den SC Sonta und ASC Lenn eingeschleift, da sie den Wunsch geäußert haben, über alle Entwicklungen auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. Lassen Sie es uns wissen, wenn Sie von d4 zurückkommen.

Ich lasse meine Wut über mich ergehen und dafür entschuldige ich mich wirklich. Aber hört mir zu, Sir, das ist nicht richtig. Ich weiß, dass Bakas mit diesem ganzen Chaos auf die eine oder andere Weise verbunden ist. Du hättest ihn in der Verarbeitung sehen sollen. Eis die ganze Zeit. Zum Teufel, jetzt fange ich an zu denken, dass er erwartet hat, hier rauszukommen, sobald wir ihn in Handschellen hatten. Als ich ihn fragte, ob er mit jemandem kommunizieren wolle, sagte er, er brauche es nicht. Darüber hinaus erfuhr ich beim Graben in den FTL, dass es vor einigen Monaten einen weiteren angeblichen Datenverstoß gab. Ein Stück Arbeit namens Burnett wurde von Hennessy drüben in Oya eingebracht, weil er einige Waffenpläne durchgeschnitten hatte. Einen Tag nachdem er in Haft war, wurde er wieder wegen "Buchung von Unregelmäßigkeiten" freigelassen. Hier geht etwas Größeres vor sich, Matty. Trotz meines besseren Urteils lasse ich Bakas jetzt frei, aber bis Sie mir befehlen, aufzuhören, werde ich diesen Fall mit allen möglichen Mitteln weiter untersuchen.

This is bullshit, Matty, and you know it! There’s no way I’m releasing this guy. Received 2944-11-04_09:39 SET TO: SA GORE MENDAL CC: FROM: SAC MATHILDE PRADCHAPHET Re: #URGENT# CaseFile#pt-45e1dl [Digital Larceny / Origin] Check your tone, Agent Mendal. Like it or not, this is an order from on high. We follow it. End of story. Cut him loose, or I find a new agent for this case. Mathilde Pradchaphet Special Agent-in-Charge Office of the Advocacy Prime, Terra III, Terra Received 2944-11-04_09:53 SET TO: SAC MATHILDE PRADCHAPHET CC: FROM: SA GORE MENDAL Re: #URGENT# CaseFile#pt-45e1dl [Digital Larceny / Origin] I’m sorry. I let my anger get the better of me and for that I really do apologize. But listen to me, sir, this isn’t 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’m 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 “didn’t need to.” On 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 “booking irregularities.” Something bigger is going on here, Matty. Despite my better judgment, I’m releasing Bakas now, but until you order me to stop, I’m going to keep looking into this case through any means possible.

THOMAS CARMODY Re: #URGENT# CaseFile#pt-45e1dl [Digital Larceny / Origin] Hello Agent Mendal, We have not yet had the opportunity to meet, but I believe, in light of recent events, it may be the time to rectify that. I am on my way to Prime now. Do you know of a good, out of the way tea house where we may share a drink? Thomas D. Carmody Director Office of the Advocacy New York, Earth, Sol END EXCHANGE
