[QUOTE="Ithuriel, post: 4507670, member: 63947"] Suria listened quietly as the pieces came together. When Pat stated that the Aesculapians weren't making an effort to cover their tracks, she interjected, [COLOR=Plum]"That's not exactly true. You get used to dealing with a higher degree of skill after a few jobs with Triton Divivision... corporate malfeasance, governmental coverups, but the clinic heads appear to be doing what they can.
