>>5822084QM: ok, unfortunately 6 above is rather inconvenient for the Independent Friends Alliance. What this means is that Clara the Technical Researcher is locked out of her access privileges for the valuable STAR DATA you recovered - the data is still there but encrypted.
Furthermore, should Vandenberg Aerospace discover that she has absconded with their incredibly important and proprietary corporate star colonisation planetary data, they will probably just remote delete / wipe it all (and her, and anyone caught sheltering her). So I can see a few avenues as to how to deal with this situation:
>You can just sell the (now encrypted) star system data to someone. You probably will not receive much value for it, but some hacker collective will probably give you a token value for it out of curiosity. This also has the added benefit of just taking the heist proceeds out of your hands - Vandenberg Aerospace will probably just blame them and hunt them down afterwards as they investigate / cleanup the trail behind their missing employee. Find any nearby planet, starport or orbital station to offload this data payload fast>You want to crack and recover this encrypted data yourself. If only you had access to a huge amount of computing power... say, a barge full of incarcerated prisoners with their minds and cerebral capacity being forcibly used as a human brain-machine cloud compute cluster...?? Maybe just make them try ALL THE PASSWORDS one at a time, in the ultimate dictionary attack? >You could take the data back to Samaya... there must be someone on your homeplanet who could help. But will Vandenberg Aerospace eventually trace their missing employee back to your star system?QM: the transit cost from Monoceros back to Samaya is
MON-HYA-LIB-OPH-SGR-CAP-PSA, ISD 65
>You could just upload and release all the encrypted data to the entire galaxy for free, see what happens>Something else? You could purchase another asset to try to deal with this. For instance, attempt to bribe or pay an informant within Vandenberg Aerospace for their security credentials to access the star data, etc.
