Labyrinth of Night
“Final Briefing NASH’S TRAVELLING COMPANIONS IN DECK 3D, two members of the relief crew which was bound for Arsia Station, were having dinner in the wardroom by the time he got back to his niche, thereby leaving him alone in the Lowell’s passenger quarters. Nonetheless, Nash took the precaution of closing the accordioned door to the closet-sized compartment before he placed the attaché case on his bunk.
His thumbprint unlocked the case; as he expected, it contained a notebook computer, along with accessories which had been provided by Security Associates’ armory. Nash unfolded the clamshell screen, switched on the computer, and slipped the diskette Massey had given him into the disk-drive.
The first page of the screen contained a file directory with a single entry: Mes / 8-01-32-1500 / Donaldson. Next to it was printed: 1st read / 8-25-32-1137. Nash let out his breath. So far, so good; no one had entered this file since it had been transmitted from Security Associates by means of Skyco...rp’s deep-space communications network.MoreLess
