“Counterforce Liasion Office?”

Am I taking this as Aleph Null Systems is escalating the Viridians’ request, but not in the manner the Viridians might like?

If necessary, but they’re probably just preparing to execute their corporate contract with these guys:

Making Your Troubles Have Troubles With You

I mean, explosions are all very well but not profitable unless someone’s paying you for them. Much better to bug out in good order and sell three million more Isinglass secure dataplaques to people who admire your commitment to principle…

I’m guessing, though, that in their own courts of law, the Imperials would view the refusal to voluntarily provide access to such a device as an aggravating circumstance in itself?

If I’m reading Alastair’s posts right, Imperial society considers ones “stuff,” including one’s personal data, to be as much a part of one’s person as their own limbs.

The right to be to “secure in one’s own person and papers” (including data) is taken VASTLY more seriously in the Empire than anywhere on this planet.
