I’ll explain more there.
Greta, it’s Benzi. Benzi Leonidas. I’m using this alias to contact you because I think that they can read my ordinary email. Look, it turns out that the angel investors who helped me get going were not so much angelic as, well, criminal. They’ve got my family, Greta. And there’s something on that data pylon that they want – it’s not your job, but it’s on the same pylon. And they don’t really care about collateral damage – that’s how the only copies of this stuff wound up on that one server ship. I’ve been trying to persuade them that it’s lost, but it’s not. I’ve attached the coordinates and planned path of the server ship – maybe you can manage to retrieve it before they do. If you can, I can get out from under them, and pay you back somewhere down the line. Please, Greta? I really need your help.
I wish you’d told me this sooner. Peet’s already pissed off about it, and I get the impression he wants me to get rid of Gerrit. Not that I don’t like the idea, but I’m guessing Andersen would take a dim view of us killing his favourite minion. Can you talk to Peet, and see if you can’t smooth this over?
None of that’s a problem. The accesses I’ve done already, and the office is being set up as I type this. Only problem is, it’s being set up for two. Corny’s insisted on having Gerrit Sollivan in there. He says it’s to “assist” Peet, but we both know he’s really there to spy for Corny. You should warn Peet before he gets a nasty surprise tomorrow morning… …except you and him have both gone home, and I’m talking to empty air here, aren’t I? Oh well. Hopefully you’ll get this in time tomorrow.
If Peet’s going to do this audit properly, he can’t be on the floor with the rest of us – he’s going to need his own office. Do we have one for him? He’ll also need all the necessary accesses for Hall Biotique – which I can’t approve for him, so you have to. I’m assuming this is all no trouble, so I’ll see you tomorrow.
Oh, Peet’s going to love that.
I didn’t realise Davis had such a head for the business side. I may have to sound him out some time about his future with us. You’re right about Hall, but only if we tell her it’s him doing the review. I think I might try a bluff, see if there’s anything actually going on there. Also, while I think of it, I’m assigning Sollivan to Peet to document what he’s doing.
Okay. I’ve checked with Davis and Monday, and they both think there’s nothing to this. So either the trouble’s at Hall’s end, or there’s no trouble and something else is going on here. In the meantime, Davis suggested that we use Peet to do a review of the project, just in case. Peet’s a stubborn prick, but this time his precious integrity will be on our side, and Hall will know it.
I like your plan, Frank. Okay, give Peet his marching orders, and I’ll tell Cornelius the plan.
I’m with Billy on this one, but I’ve got an idea. Peet just started today, and I’m not ready for him yet. Why don’t we put him on as an independent contractor with a brief to review this? It beats having him sit around doing nothing, and Hall will have a harder time making her case. And that’s assuming there’s anything to it in the first place.
Told ya. For what it’s worth, there’s nothing to this. Is that good enough, or do you need something more formal in case it goes to court? |
