All of you foil the weapon-detectors. Then, you don't seem to notice anything unusual about security measures. Just the few cameras, safety doors for emergency cases, etc., that you would expect onboard a space station.Jay Purr notices that, of the four suspicious companies, only Shabu-Avindranath Corp has obviously made heavy installations and rents two segments. The others seem to have more like simple offices (which makes sense for Shemezgan & Balmers for example). However, don't forget that in the 22nd century, there is much less offices (that is: physical buildings) that there was in the 20th or 21st century. So, the need for a place like this in space probably denotes concerns for being out of legal reach. On the other hand, the desire to have a "temple" in space, can make sense for the Church of the Scientific Revelation. By the way, Jay notices that they appear to be open to visitors and would-be followers… After all, they could only be glad to have some of the scientists onboard Ashira_29 join their ranks.The cybershell, replies to you with his emotionless mechanical voice. - "Don't worry sir, we do have the latest of security measures, especially where electronic espionage is concerned. The station itself being in space is easy to watch over, and has appropriate defenses just in case. You are of course allowed to install additional security measures in your own segment. The other companies have been, indeed, thoroughly examined, and present no danger. Suspicious applicants are rebutted, as it happened once." Then, the cybershell lets you visit the segment you are supposed to rent. There is nothing really interesting for you to see there. You could install some laboratory, but nothing of real industrial facilities.Once in the restaurant, it's difficult to tell apart who works for which company. You only notice a table with what, probably (where their rather odd garbs are concerned), must be three priests of the Church of the Scientific Revelation with two visiting followers. Nonetheless, Caine and Christopher recognize a guy whose head they saw once in a biotech congress. It's not a far-fetched idea to think he could work for Shabu-Avindranath Corp.What do you do?</blockquote>
