Industrial Espionage

It seemed the Sirius Corp was quite ruthless in its methods and was quite happy to break local laws to maintain market dominance. 
We jumped into Procyon and scanned the nav beacon. We received a coded message directing us to head to Reightler Station which was controlled by a dictatorship called Autocracy of Procyon. A Sirius navy ship was bound to make them nervous but we were granted docking permission and I set the Python down safely. We had been provided with a cover story we just needed to keep our nerve.
We needed to take a copy of a communication encryption key so we could conduct the planetary scan and retrieve the data. Ashley was summoned to meet with the station commander. I entered the station to retrieve the key. I used a security hack, headed down a restricted corridor and copied the encryption software from a communications relay console. I headed back out the same corridor. Nobody witnessed me enter or leave.
The meeting with Ashley and the base commander had not gone so well and he had her detained in a cell. It took several days but Ashley was finally released at the insistence of the Sirius Corporation. Thankfully nobody had discovered that we had stolen the software encryption key. The mission had been delayed but was still on.
We took off and as soon as we had cleared mass lock from the station we accelerated into super-cruise and headed to Sakers Enterprise on Procyon A 1 A.
