Tangle in the Dark - Kassidor

9:21pm Sun. Apr. 22, 2384Alan waited two more days. He heard no word fromanyone. He was invited to no meetings thru the wholeweekend. He even went to service on Sunday and endured anhour of gossip with Greta and Leslie but learned little, justthat Heymon had his biggest boys busy and they were verytight lipped about what they were doing. Neither of the girlshad noticed that Ava was missing, but they didn’t hangaround with her so that wasn’t very surprising.As it got late in the evening, it was dawn where he wasspending his sentence in Yoonbarla Vale and he no longerneeded the lantern to use his desk eye. Since Ava wasn’taround to catch him, he keyed in some override codes andenabled administration rights to his desk eye.Before anything else happened, he went right to hisauthorization file and bumped his magic authorization and gotback his med panel. He would have to give this up again onceAva was restored, but for now it would enable him to do whathe had to do without his simulated biology interfering.Next he removed the diagnostics and logging taps fromhis own terminal so that his activity would not be logged.Then he installed a patch to back out the power used by hisactivity from the microamp logging system. That should beenough to cover his tracks from anyone who was still onboard.116
