[Professionalism is for nerds, honestly. Steph thinks it's a good idea to hang out with a Dog, so she can't really throw stones.]

So, this is going to sound a little odd, but I want you to investigate me.

[She's come up with an excuse other than the memory thing, but she'll give Kate a second with just that first bit of information.]

[fledges]

Uh... Okay.

[Definitely weird. It's clear from Kate's expression that it isn't a request she gets often. Or ever, to be accurate.]

Why?

[eggplanting]

[Steph at least looks apologetic.]

I work for the Company, and I'm Leithian, and they've recently had some information leaks. [This might be classified information, so she's trusting Kate's professional discretion here.] I'm worried someone's trying to pin something on me, there's been a lot of heat from up high, but I know I've done nothing wrong.

[Or at least, she hasn't done anything wrong in the last 11 and a half months.]

I was hoping you'd be able to find out if it looks like I'm doing anything I shouldn't be.

[She feels like it's a good excuse, it gives Kate a reason to dig into her background, her communications, her relationships, to see if there's anything there someone is trying to exploit.]

[fledges]

[Kate frowns, expression shifting to something more serious.]

What do you think they're trying to pin on you, exactly? The leaks?

[eggplanting]

I think so. My family doesn't have land, but we've been on Leith for a long time, and after the attack...

[It's easy to point fingers.

Steph shrugs]

Personally I think the True Leithians are assholes, but I'm worried about how it looks on paper.

[fledges]

[Kate nods, leaning back in her chair and going silent for a moment as she considers.]

I can help you, but digging through Company intel isn't easy. I won't be able to give you much more than rumors.

[She's not a hacker, unfortunately.]

[eggplanting]

I'm kind of desperate.

[That is true, if nothing much else is, because she's starting to feel more and more like something big is missing, more than just memories.]

Even if you don't find anything, it'll be a weight off my chest.

[fledges]

Okay. I'll see what I can do. Can you give me an idea of where to start? What I should be looking for?

[eggplanting]

[This is the - slightly less well thought out part, but she has an idea of something that might pan out, if there's anything to be found.]

The logs for my shipping runs might show up something weird, I tried to get access to them but didn't have much luck. I dunno if you'll have more luck, but if you're better with tech than I am...

[Maybe she went somewhere or saw something she shouldn't have, and her memory was taken because of it. Or maybe she did it voluntarily.]
