<p>While she's searching Ilia Tamm's computer, Lynn takes the opportunity to leave behind a backdoor. A backdoor whose authorship she doctors to make it look like it was commissioned for Envar's use. She mirrors the relevant files to her datapad and reverses her way through the system, re-enabling all the protections as she does so. </p>
<p>With data in hand she offers an excuse to Envar and follows the rest of the group back to the ship. <b>"Zetta easy, dontcha think?"</b> she muses out loud <b>"The big E was a pushover."</b></p>

Lynn pulls out her datapad, commenting to her allies <b>"I sure hope we never have to do anything with that crazy kid again.

<p><b>"Oh, and I'll see about making some of those pics Envar had us take with him disappear off the infosphere. I don't know about you guys, but...

<br />
<span class=messageboard-ooc>Both provide you with a +5 bonus, for a +10 total on your hacking attempt</span></p>
<p>After you acquire the data via a successful hack, you can recognize the various secured files but cannot discern any major information. The single most obvious clue from the data is that Arch Energy is essentially a front that funds clandestine meetings between the members of its board of directors. Each of the directors is hidden by a false identity, and it should be clear that this is the data Historia-7 is looking for. The data requires a dedicated team of data analysts to properly pry any major secrets from.</p>
<p>You successfully concealed your identities and remained undetected by Brilliance security, bypassed Ilia Tamm’s security door without triggering the alarm, and hacked into Ilia’s computer with no mistakes, your actions on Brilliance didn't attract the attention of Arch Energy Consortium security.</p>
<p>As you make your way back to your ship you notice a pair of security fighters docked nearby but they make no attempt to follow you as you lift of after saying goodbye to Envar and you make your way back to Absolom station.</p>
<p>After your successfully depart from Brilliance with the requested files, you can return to the Lorespire Complex on Absalom Station, it takes a few days to return. During this time Envar sends each of you a digital invitation to his 24th birthday party, described as an all-inclusive trip to a pleasure yacht in high orbit over Verces, with a note, <i>“Join me for an encore performance of our glorious victory!”</i> </p>
<p>Historia-7 eagerly awaits your return and has already prepared a team of Dataphile data operatives to decode and record the contents of the stolen files. </p>
<p>Historia-7 offers the slightest slip of happiness as she notices you already have cracked the security and didn't just bring the data on a portable data storage unit for her to crack.</p>
<p>Historia-7 finishs her debriefing with you;
<br />
<b>“The mission is a success, and you are to be commended. All of you deserve some time to rest before your likely return to a more
<br />
typical Society assignment.”</b> Historia-7 speaks, momentarily pausing after making her declaration. The android’s eyes stare
<br />
off past her data visor, as though she were contemplating some additional information. <b>“Interesting… This data you’ve uncovered is… very… interesting. For now, I’ll ask you to depart. I need to summon Zigvigix of the Exo-Guardians. It appears one of his recent offers now aligns with what this data may require us to do. How… unfortunate.”</b></p>
<p>Historia-7 refuses to elaborate on why she needs to meet with Zigvigix or on any breakthroughs she discovered in the stolen data.</p>Just to verify, first 2 spoilers are indeed different check. One was to take a general look around the office, the second was when you take a look at the computer

<p>This rectangular room is starkly different from the typical gold and-silver metal decor found throughout the rest of Brilliance.
<br />
Darkwood credenzas and bookcases complement the woodpaneled walls and tan wooden floor here. A model of the Pact Worlds system, sculpted in gold and silver metal, hangs from the ceiling near the center of the room. Framed parchment maps from some ancient era adorn the walls. The lone visible piece of modern technology is a silver computer console affixed to a darkwood desk on the eastern side of the room. A private climate-controlled and air-sealed balcony overlooks open space to the north. Racks lined with dusty bottles stand along the western wall of the office, watched over by an oil painting of a graceful lashunta woman reaching up toward a radiant sun.</p>
<p>Most of the books on the shelves are works of fiction from bygone ages, and the wine bottles in the racks are priceless relics of decades- and centuries-old viticulture.</p>

<p>Ilia’s personal computer sits on her desk in the eastern part of the office. </p>

<p>The computer terminal contains sensitive confidential files and requires a two-factor authentication to access: a key card and a password.</p>
<p>When Envar notices you looking at the computer he mentions: <b>"You can like use my keycard if you want..and I know the answer to the security questions to reset my mother's password. Like she thought I didn't know the name of her first pet..Bubbles"</b></p>
