No, I dinna trust him. It was a threat pure and simple. He’s confident that those in involved in this mess can crush us like bugs. He especially didna like you.
Clifton: Hmm, well I can't ever remember anyone called LBJ. I wonder how he knows me?
Gavin: So what did you find out?
Clifton: I found out that Rayder really did get orders to give Silva what she wanted and let her leave. I'm not sure why, or what's going on here, but there's definitely something very strange going on here. Unfortunately the only person that can access top secret orders like that is a hacker that I hired, I doubt I can really trust her though.
Gavin: D’Ye remember my assistant, Delia? She’s the impatient, nosey El Aurian. :Gavin smiled as he shook his head:: That lass is nae like the patient people she comes from. She does like to listen but doesna have the patience to do it. As a result, she is a world class hacker. I dinna even want to know how she gets the information she does. If there is a whisper anywhere in the galaxy, she’s in on it. She kens things before I get the official notifications. We probably should use her. My only hesitation is that she’s verra young and I dinna want her hurt. Of course, she’d laugh at that. She’s 100 years old, just a kid for an El-Aurian, but still…
Clifton: Yeah, I haven't thought about her in a while. I'm sure she is a lot more trustworthy than the black hat hacker that I engaged.
Gavin: It’s clear this goes higher than just Silva and your friend. He’s in on it somehow if only that he’s too scared to do his job, but those documents she had were verra dangerous. Someone is selling out the Federation, and we need to know who, why and what their goal is.
Clifton: Agreed. Tell Delia to contact me via a secure channel, I have some civilian accommodations here on the station. Do you have any immediate plan for what you can do to learn any more?

Clifton: Something else, while you're here check out things with any of your diplomat friends. See if any of them have noticed anything odd before we got here.

Clifton: I mean, who knows? Maybe we just stumbled into this, maybe hinky things have been going on for longer than we realize.
