(A technical failure meant we only got half of
this conversation. The lack of communications infrastructure on this miserable
rock is to blame. I added a few annotations where needed - K)
(Thank you for this. It is relevant to our case
no less. I’ve added a few notes of my own)
Sharkey: As near as I can tell, there were two of them. My
men are still trying to figure out how they got into the mansion grounds, given
that they didn’t actually cut through the fences or disable the cameras. When I
find out what was the problem, I’m going to make sure that it doesn’t happen
again.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: You’re right there. Somebody’s going to get his
hand fed to a dogodile over this, mark my words. (Dogodiles are a reptile native to Andiron that. They have a vicious
bite, and can be tamed and used as guard animals - K)

Sharkey: Two of them made it into the grounds and broke
into the mansion proper. They must have been good, given the way that they got
past the cameras and everything else I set up there. Yeah, they even got past
the servants quarters. I’ve had them beaten just to get the message over. Not
that I think they had anything to do with the whole thing, but I want to remind
them to be alert.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: They made it upstairs and got into my office.
Get this, one of them tried to turn the camera around so that it was facing the
other door. Guy didn’t realize that he was looking into the lens all along.
That’s how I knew that something was up.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: I think they were after something in specific,
given that they went straight into the office. Once in, they rifled through
everything there, including my personal computer. My technician is checking it now,
but he’s pretty sure that they copied everything on the core and dumped it.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: By that point, my men were trying to break down
the door, but they had barricaded themselves in there. They finally got the
door down, only for two of those idiots to be blasted with a shotgun. If they
weren’t both dead, I’d kill them myself. Either way, the intruders made an
escape by smashing the window while I was trying to get more of my guards on
the way.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: No, that didn’t stop them either. They made for
the gate and killed two more guards and, even worse, two of my dogodiles along the
way. By the time I had more people on to them, they were long gone.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: Really, I have no idea what they were after. I
had a lot of dirt on that computer, and they could hurt me a lot of ways with
it. I mean, I could be lucky and it could be that new crew that took out the
Chasseurs (The Newcastle Chasseurs, a
failed mercenary unit stranded on Andiron – K). The word is that they’re
gunning for Kaine and his crew (Matthias
Kaine, leader of the Sanguine Reapers pirate band – K). If they take him
out, then that would actually be good for me. Still going to be watching my
back.
(Inaudible)
Sharkey: The camera got a good look at them while they
were arsing around with it. One had a cowboy hat and a thick moustache, (Likely Randy R. Georges) while the
other looked like a Cappie criminal. (Likely
Lee Zhen) Don’t have a clue as to who they worked for. But I want them dead
no less.
(Obviously it’s too late for us to act on this,
but it’s useful no less, and thank you for bringing it to my attention. It
helps me build a more complete picture of what’s going on. Sharkey has no reach
beyond Andiron, so I doubt that he will present too much of a threat.)
