Signed, Sealed, Delivered (day 3 mid morning)

[Lt. Varra]

A short dark woman in a courier’s uniform arrived that morning to deliver a sealed package to the receptionist’s desk. Addressed to a middle manager at Hyperion Lance Industries, by all appearances it was a bill requesting payment for an earlier shipment of power converters.

Encoded in the rows and columns of the spreadsheet was a message for Matthias Norsoa.

The person of interest has gone out of business, bought out by parties unknown. During the firm’s reorganization I secured some of the intellectual property, including a business plan for a leveraged buyout of a Czerka biologicals startup called Project: Evolution. The firm’s new management includes a consortium of local businessmen interested in raising capital to execute this business plan. It sounds like a risky operation, but it might be aligned with our overall business strategy. Any guidance from home office would be appreciated.

The courier left the office after dropping the package off.

An hour later, she reappeared at the front office and picked up a different package addressed to an off-world address. Walking out the door, she returned to her private quarters and did a quick scan for electronic surveillance before opening the package and decoding its contents.

Project: Evolution should stay with its original investors. The firm's reorganization gives it less buying power, which aligns to what I am hoping for. Report to me any significant progress and put a minimal effort into helping your colleagues progress with the operation.
