So I know I can't be the only one who's had the unexpected pleasure of coming into possession of messages that aren't intended for my consumption. I'm not talking about you getting someone's private love letters or metaphorical cat video links, which I've gotten and deleted.

If I were back home, I'd be sliding this info to my nearest and dearest investigative journalist type. Since I'm not, well, I guess I've got to take matters in my own hands.

It's an interesting read, so, I'm just going to include the unedited details for all.

[what follows is a copy of the message that peter had received earlier, sent from lydia gill-jade, which seems the sort of thing that would come up in a current headlines search if it weren't presumably a secret. well, so much for that, huh?]

Maybe it's just me, but do people usually name successors for campaign donations?

It makes it easier to adjust. One less part to get used to.

From what I can gather, she leads most of the R&D at Pulsar when it comes to terraforming. Seemingly no political experience, but given what all these emails show us, I suppose that does not matter.

[hoss]

Seemingly. I'm guessing she's loaded, and she's got a vested interested in staking some claims on Jupiter. I'd say the political position is a means to an end. She's looking for something out there.

Her friend, that JPG. They might have some answers if we can get close to them.

Jupiter is a gas planet. I have heard many complaints about how useless it would be to terraform it. If it were efforts to harness the gas power, or sole focus on moons, it might make more sense, but her vested interest otherwise is strange. I think you are right, there is something else.

Not very easy initials to track down, but probably worth the effort.
