I said, "The company could be bribed to conceal the existence of several hundred survey teams on this planet." Survey teams, whole cities, lost colonies, traveling circuses, as long as they thought they could get away with it. I just didn’t see how they could get away with making a client survey team—two client survey teams—vanish. Or why they’d want to. There were too many bond companies out there, too many competitors. Dead clients were terrible for business. "I don’t think the company would collude with one set of clients to kill two other sets of clients. You purchased a bond agreement that the company would guarantee your safety or pay compensation in the event of your death or injury. Even if the company couldn’t be held liable or partially liable for your deaths, they would still have to make the payment to your heirs. DeltFall was a large operation. The death payout for them alone will be huge." And the company hated to spend money. You could tell that by looking at the recycled upholstery on the habitat’s furniture. "And if everyone believes the clients were killed by faulty SecUnits, the payment would be even bigger once all the lawsuits were filed."
