Re: 2.2 - Emerald Star vs The Bolt
Okay then... Out of character prose bridge:
Doctor Ford was almost apoplectic when he learned that the hard-drives needed to be held for forensic investigation for a couple of days. Apparently, they contained much of the technical trials information and the full breakdown of the schematics and plans for the prototype. Technically--though he was evasive on this--one could build their own from the information distributed across those drives.
When it was pointed out to him that his servers perform incremental backups every six hours, and that the attack happened at night so he wasn't, in fact, losing any data, he was somewhat mollified, but it did little to diminish his whining.
Brick was taken to temporary storage at an AEGIS holding facility on the North Shore a short distance from AEGIS new Headquarters "the dome". He could expect to stay in holding for up to two weeks before being moved to a more suitable facility--probably Buckner Ridge in the mountains or Fortress Island, depending on just how violent he turns out to be or how much of a risk he is assessed. But this means he's easily accessed for questioning, should you wish to do so.
Lachesis, for her part, was largely out of sorts since her interview with Alice at Buckner Ridge. The woman had answered all of Cassie's questions, but there'd been a smug sort of self-satisfaction with the whole process. But she'd been a model inmate, respected and even liked by the staff and population in general. She was simply waiting out her time. She did appear to know a great deal about current medical research into cancer therapies, but being in a population with at least one individual with radioactivity-associated gastro-intestinal distress provided a--verifiable--justification.
