Oh great, more good news.
How reliable is your source?

That at least makes a certain amount of sense. But why would the only record of our contract with them be on one of those? Never mind, thinking out loud. I’ll ask Benzi. Greta
Looks like I spoke to soon about Hall Biotique – my mate there says that Hall herself is displeased with the work. Not sure how much faith to place in that, but thought I ought to warn you just in case – you may be hearing from them in the next little while. Billy
Well, a Server Ship is like a massive, massive server farm, installed on an interstellar ship. You use them to get around the lightspeed barrier on communications – pack ‘em full of every conceivable backup doc you need and send ‘em out to wherever you’re building. Presto, instant colony library/bureaucracy. Al
Okay, I just got back, and I have some good news – we’ve managed to isolate which data pylons had the stuff about our deal with you in them, and I’m leaning on the team to make sure those ones get first priority. I can’t say exactly when we’ll have it, but there are five pylons to search, and it’s taking us about 3 days per pylon, so I should be able to actually respond in some useful fashion in no more than another two weeks at the very most. Can you hold back the wolves that long? Benzi
Apparently someone did – the freaks at Leonidas. Benzi’s blaming the loss of one on their delays getting back to us. What is it? Greta
A Server Ship? Someone actually made one of those? Al
Yesterday would be good… Greta
Gerrit, it’s important to me that you understand just exactly how much weight you have to throw around here. Because outside of the Dristeen project, you have no weight whatsoever. You’re a hydrogen balloon on the wind. Everything is currently progressing according to schedule, and until and unless things go otherwise, you have no call to get involved. And if you do, you’ll hear it from me first. Understood? Greta
Billy, Thanks for that. And thanks for not making me chase you for it, too. Greta | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
