A tall man with a salt-and-pepper beard, a sharp black suit, and dark glasses worn where there is no light to block. He arrived at the Astro-Burger in a black luxury hover car, curled his lip at the smell, and wiped the seat with a handkerchief before he sat down, then the table. He asked that the crew never say his name to anyone.
He paid 900 credits for the farm job, then hired the crew to bring back a runaway employee, Imee Sarra, from Hope’s Reach Hospital, along with Ward 7’s patient index, the pharmacy’s dispensing records, legal documents marked LGL and the project correspondence. He claimed a fatherly connection to her. Calvin could not read his face at all.
What the crew found at Hope’s Reach
- The office behind Ward 7 belonged to A. Vosk, Legal and Compliance, its inbox full of demands for results before the final Project Viridian payment came due.
- He personally hired every member of the Department of Experimental Treatments, a department that did not exist until just before Shensaati fell, and its money went into a private account: a nail salon he owns.
- Rotti took a photograph of a much younger Vosk from the office.
Delivery
At Delivery Ramp 5 he climbed down from the back of a fruit delivery van, took Imee by the arm, told her that her decisions had caught up with her, and had his men load every page of evidence. The money arrived as promised.
