I need something, I can meet you in 90 mins.
right, hello, good work getting your hands on this feed ID whoever you are, but you’re barking up the wrong tree. the individual this ID belonged to hasn’t been anywhere near this station in years.
Not true, I was here about eight weeks ago.
then why didn’t he contact me then, hm?
I was avoiding you.
yeah right, first thing he always did whenever he was portside was start bugging me
which you’d know if you bothered to read the rest of this message thread
Okay, I’ll cut this short, here I am.

if you’ve got this ID then you’ll have access to photos of him, but those fingers are all messed up. machine generated picture.
Well excuse me for trying to get a still from a bathroom security cam in the middle of painting my nails.
and I don’t think he’d appreciate you editing his personal data to try and manipulate me, we were very close
oh fuck you

the fingers should be more visible and less distorted now x
classy. and it’s a good try, but I’m still not buying it. goodnight, weirdo.
Whatever, I’ll be with you in 78 minutes, you’ll see I’m real then.
Wait, not 78. 54. You’ve moved.
This is your new place, correct?

what the actual fuck
are you outside my door???
No, it’s an image from your doorbell’s SecSys. It’s got a lens angled in, too.
how the hell did you hack my doorbell
HOW DID YOU FIND WHERE I LIVE
Do you think corporate espionage is all seducing corrupt ministers and crawling through vents?
fucking hell, okay gurathin, I get the idea, it’s you
Great. I’ll see you in 47.
under absolutely no circumstances are you coming to my home
Don’t want the neighbors to see you with me?
no, come on, don’t put words in my mouth
it’s been years, things have changed around here for me, meeting at my place won’t work anymore.
you can’t expect everything to be frozen just like how you remember it.
and I don’t even have what you’re looking for, anyway.
don’t send what it is, so help me god
Obviously I’m not putting it in writing in the Feed, I’m not an idiot.
And yes you do.
It’s not what you’re thinking, but yes you do.
I really doubt it, but we can talk in person. outside the office, 8:30 next cycle. it’s the same building.
NOT my home
Sure.
as for payment, if you’re not able to say what you’re looking for over the feed, then I’ll only take hard currency, no transfers
I never actually got my end of our last transaction. You said you’d be off station when I came back, so you wanted the money in advance to leave a package at my place.
Which was rich, considering you knew my plans.
hey, I was rooting for you, I was trying to motivate you to make it back
Sure.
But you do still owe me one.
you should’ve gone into finance with that kind of memory for exact numbers
Are we set, or do you need me to dig out old archives of my log?
no, no, you’re right, I remember, but I don’t think it’s gonna matter either way. we can talk but you should prepare to be disappointed.
if you really need it then you should track down layla, I think she’s still in the business.
I will not be contacting Layla, you have what I need and I will be getting it from you.
Do I have to do the whole song and dance with the old codewords or was the picture of your door sufficient?
that was enough, please do not do it again
and gura?
I am glad you made it. I never heard anything solid, and I wondered, but it’s nice to know. proud you’re still breathing, bud.
