After meeting with Sinjin before heading to Horse Eye Orbital Plate, one of my players really latched onto the "releasing the null-space tech to the rest of the Pact Worlds" argument that Sinjin was using. So much so, they actually want to broadcast as much details about the technology and/or the Oliphaunt that they can before going to hand it off to Sinjin and the Golden League.
So much of Eline Reisora's motivation throughout the later books is to get the ship back before the loss of the ship is known throughout the rest of EJ Corp. Even the "partnership" between Eline and Sinjin in Book
My question: How would this impact the story in later books?
My initial thoughts: Eline might still go after the PCs for revenge and Sinjin might still go after them for the ship. However, it goes more towards pure revenge instead of being a cover-up situation.
What do folks think it might do to any particular encounters in later books (thinking in particular books 4,5 & 6)?

I've made a few minor changes regarding access to the full Oliphaunt technical specs.
The schematics that are available in Eline's office are just the specs on installing the Null Space technology into the base Sledgehammer starship. It doesn't contain any details for how to build null space chambers for starship. So, releasing those plans into the wild only tells the galaxy that EJ is working on Null Space tech.
The REAL plans for the Null space chambers are on the servers that have the really mean Hacking DC with the deadly shock grid and are in a module that requires root access. There is NO way a level 2 or 3 party can hack the actual plans for the null space chamber.
So, if the crew wants to release the tech to the whole galaxy, he only way to do that is hand the ship over to Sinjin who will reverse engineer the technology, just as he describes.
