[Let me know if Sasha gleans anything about Mikodez' technical skill from the personnel file, since that's ostensibly what she's looking for. Otherwise I'll assume she got his name and the injunction to keep him safe.]
Sasha emerges from her research half angry and half perplexed. Murdering Avrayen or Mishka or whatever-his-name-is-today is apparently counterindicated. She could invoke Ashari, but Ashari's at the reception and only listens to Sasha about one time in four on a good day. She'd love to talk to Kaliyan, who seems calm and good at threat assessment, but Kaliyan hasn't answered Sasha's note, which means she's probably doing some important pilot thing and won't welcome interruptions. That leaves Alaric.
Sasha asks the grid to stream a text version of the reception chatter to her antique tablet, and sets alarms in case her decryption routines bear fruit. She's not expecting much from the Butterfly, unless she's lucky enough to catch them making one of the classic implementation mistakes, but she has hopes that the Rosemallow ship will have messed up somewhere.
She already has a special alarm for messages from Kaliyan. Not, she tells herself, that she should expect to need it.
