Tangle in the Dark - Kassidor

8:47pm Wed. Mar. 28, 2384Kelvin sat with Heymon in the ship’s lounge. There werefew others from the crew in here today, just Greta and Darryland they were speaking some language that only had anoccasional word in common with English. Greta was nearly aregular here. He wished she would find a man and not turninto a barfly. So far she looked OK, but her personificationseemed to be getting a little less wholesome every week.She’d lost the buck teeth and now had quite a cute smile. Heand Heymon were far enough from them that they couldconverse without being overheard.“So you were telling me that bogie can intercept all ourmessages?” He wouldn’t name the ship out here no matterhow far away the other people in the lounge were.“They are well within the cone of the transmitter, eventhough it is a very narrow beam.”“Then they have a copy of the letter from my mother. Ithas probably crossed their captain’s desk.”“That came in from Thom’s instruments,” Heymon said.“If they can put an operative on my ship, they cancertainly put a false routing tag in a mail message,” Kelvinpointed out.“That is true, they could have, if they could fool Ava.”“So they could have that letter,” Kelvin stated.“If they can decode it and get past the password.”316
