I jumped out of bed and got dressed quickly. Before making a fuss about this suspicion I must know for certain. But how do I handle that. Let’s think. What do I need.

1    Steward’s M-stores are still lying in my car. The copies are there as well.  

2    I need a test subject with a MESI implant, who wants to receive an upload of Steward’s collection, so I can store the upload in images on my computer.

3        And a network for the computing power.

And it has to be someone I can trust during these unsettled times. My choice is Adelle. She is the only one who is anyhow supporting Hamilton. I just have to convince her that she won’t tell the whole case to Hamilton yet, but waits till I give her a sign. Otherwise my whole video project for Kodjiro would draw a blank. Then Hamilton would take the rights and leaves Kodjiro and I with empty hands. And that is not how it’s meant to be for now.

After dinner I decide to search for Adelle. At my questions if I know where Rosanne is, I answer everyone I walk into the same thing: “No, I don’t, I went to bed after the collision with Hamilton and felt asleep. It was two o’clock in the morning you know, I had had it, I was deadly tired.”

Adelle was sitting in the garden and I seated next to her. “Okay, Adrian, tell me what’s on your mind” Remarking this she made it very easy for me but my story still surprised me. She probably thought I’d start about Rosanne, but nothing about that. I told her that Steward visited me and about my conjectures. Adelle responded heavily shocked. “Do you have any evidence for that?” She asked. “Not yet, but you can help me with that, do you want to?” She nodded and asked how I would handle that. I told her about my device, but that it was scarcely out of the egg. I also told her that it is better if Hamilton doesn’t know about this yet, because I hadn’t sorted out yet what the results would be for the whole Braintec project if Steward would leave. Steward is in it with a lot of money as well, isn’t he”. She swallowed the whole story and promised to keep her mouth shut. I explained to her that the whole action had to take place during the night and Adelle suggested to do it this night already. “This evening Hamilton and Steward will go to some kind of funding campaign somewhere in Texas. They shouldn’t be back before tomorrow night.” We agreed to meet each other at one o’clock in my lab.
