The two of you are essentially on your own solving the crimes. Calling for extra team members from Earth is not an option as travel time is several weeks. At the present orbital position, communication signals have around 20 minutes delay each way. You can always request detailed information on a particular matter, but there will be a lag while the query is sent down to Earth, accepted, processed, and then returned to you. You will not get an instant answer. However, you and Slate together have considerable skill at hacking into financial and other computer systems, so most of the time you won't need help.



There is no reliable local law enforcement agency that you can call on. You are expected to resolve crimes using your own initiative in a just and equitable way. Your priorities are to collect evidence about the crime, recover the missing funds, and ensure that the perpetrators are clearly identified to stop this happening again.
