That’s enough of a clue for me to fill the rest in mentally. The Star has big trouble of some kind, and these three know it. Maybe it’s limited to the data penetration I thought I was cuing them to. But maybe the penetration is only a little piece of a bigger picture (charming thought). Whatever, the corp’s senior suits—including Layton, Drummond, and McMartin, but almost certainly not limited to them—are doing everything they fragging can to keep the lid on. They can’t let out the slightest hint that anything at all is out of the ordinary.
