23 22 301 1 Hassen What follows is classified info. 2
24 23 301 Hassen During Operation Acadia, we recovered a massive corpus of data through Gestalt for the operation of Babylonia and the rebuilding of human civilization. 2
25 24 301 Hassen There were some data that were submitted in our logs, but cannot be found inside the database. 2
26 25 301 Hassen And with everything that Babylonia has been through since its conception, tracing where the files have gone has become immensely difficult. 2
27 26 301 Hassen But enough about the past. The top priority right now is to retrieve the lost files. 2
28 27 301 Hassen There are some data blocks that we didn't have the time to go through back then. I've attached their locations to this message. Please have a look. 2
29 28 301 Murray President Hassen, I'm not a direct subordinate of yours right now... Is it really appropriate to give me this kind of mission? 1
30 29 301 Hassen You'd know best. 2
31 30 301 Hassen Working under Nikola has its advantages, which is why you joined him on the surface. No? 2
32 31 204 1 1
33 32 301 Murray Just trying to move things in a better direction. It's what everyone would have done. 1
34 33 301 Hassen Which is why I know you'd accept my mission. 2
35 34 301 Murray ...What can I say? You see right through me, President Hassen. But the issue remains—I don't think I should learn of the info within these files. 1
36 35 301 Murray After all, I quite value my life. 1
37 36 301 Hassen I'll tell you the end game... These files are the embers that can end this war. 2
38 37 301 Hassen Everything we've done has been to end the war, and these files can forward this objective immensely. 2
39 38 301 Hassen I don't think I have to remind you of the confidentiality level of these files. 2

41 40 301 Murray Pardon me, but why not directly extract the files yourself? But rather, have me retrieve them first, then relay them to you? 1
42 41 301 Hassen There are quite a few reasons, but none that should concern you. 2
43 42 301 Murray ...President Hassen, you are just like Commander Nikola sometimes. 1
44 43 301 Hassen I get that a lot. 2
45 44 301 Hassen Enough with the chit-chat. Time's ticking. 2
46 45 301 Hassen Once I express interest in these files, Nikola will certainly react immediately. 2
47 46 301 Hassen If you think I'm like him, then you must also know what makes us different. Especially on our views about certain things. 2
48 47 301 Hassen For this tiny sliver of hope, are you willing to take the risk? 2
49 48 301 Murray ...Well, I don't think I have a choice. 1
