The monitor in the office blinked on, showing the balding virtual head of Holly... looking rather more serious than Jeph was used to seeing him.
"Jeph, you've got an important email, from Takami."
"From Stellvia Takami?" Jeph asked, pulling up his email program. Holly obligingly highlighted the email for him, and he opened it.
"Already done," Holly replied, as Jeph pulled out his wavephone and dialed a number. "Hey, Nene, yeah, it's me... yeah, something's come up that we'll need to deal with in a couple of days, I'll fill you in tonight. Noah needs to discuss those fuel filter contracts with us again. Also, if Natasha is close enough, is there any chance we can get her to come run a little security consulting for us?"

Quote:From: Takami Sakuragi (total-insecurity@stellvia.lib)Subj: Request for a meeting RE: ContractJeph frowned and his eyes narrowed. The "fuel filter supply contract renewal" was Stellvia to JMC code for "something's up in your neck of the woods, I'm coming by with my troubleshooter hat in my pants pocket to find out what rumors and scuttlebutt you might know about, and to provide you additional data you might need in case it explodes in our faces.""Holly... please cancel my appointments from two days from now through four days from now."
Please be advised that Mr. Scott would like to have a meeting with yourself and your staff with regards to the fuel filter supply contract renewal inside of the next week. Contact us tomorrow at the usual time so we can arrange specifics.
