So a couple Federal Security Agents just visited me when I stopped back at Mars High. One is a friend of mine, Chris Hollins, a regular contact for bounty vouchers, one was a new kid I've never met before. They wanted to question me regarding the death of a hacker Albert "Buzz-Bert" Penski and the disappearance of Reginald Decker... Never knew Decker's first name was "Reginald". Anyhow the new kid has a theory that I'm the one who closed the door on Bert's head that caused his death, they said there was no sign of the virus in his apartment's systems. Also that I kidnapped Decker, restrained him, put him in my life pod and then jettisoned him into the sun. I think I like this kid... he's got a pretty good imagination.
They went through my logs, and after about an hour of questioning Chris told me they don't have any evidence linking me to the death/disappearance and that the Federation is probably better off without those two. Apparently the station's security footage was also erased around the times I went to visit those two the other day. Chris thinks it has something to with that new virus and has ordered the station's Technical Security team to do a full sweep based on the information Orion and I found when my ship was infected. The kid doesn't seem to believe my "story" or trust me, he's got a good head on his shoulders... Can't trust anybody these days, he'll go far if he can remember that.
As for what happened to Bert and Decker, well... You spend your days screwing people over, you're bound to get yours sooner or later. I'm not losing any sleep over a dead hacker and a missing con artist.
