Richard
And you are?
Options
Are you Richard_Knowitall?
Are you the one who started the rumor about Asta?
Richard
Oho! Well done — you found me.
Richard
Rumors? More like a formal complaint!
Richard
So you're here about the lead researcher's corruption? Anything for a good story, huh?
Richard
I don't get it — you people live your lives for gossip.
Richard
Wouldn't it be better to apply that drive to your research? Madam Herta would be delighted to see everyone working so hard.
Options
I'm here to punish you.
Hand over Asta's encryption key.
Richard
Haha, who do you think you are? The space station's next lead researcher?
Richard
Please. Only upstanding and intelligent people like myself are worthy of such a position. You gossipers need to figure out your place in the hierarchy.
Richard
What encryption key...
Richard
Have you been reading too many novels? You think there's some hidden heir on this space station with keys to the family coffers? Less fantasizing, more researching, got it?
Richard
You want the scoop? Fine. I've backed it all up anyway. Here, take it. And let it be known that I, Richard_Knowitall, do not spread rumors.
Richard
This is the receipt. See the title on this purchase order...?
Richard
That's what I call substantive evidence! Hmph...
Options
Is the source of this document reliable?
Richard
Of course it is! If I had any doubt, I'd have kept it quiet.
Richard
...I picked it up a few days ago when I was collecting a package. I saw a few receipts requiring the lead researcher's signature.
Richard
The Security Department's head honcho, Arlan — he left pretty quickly when he saw them. We all know he's on her side anyway.
Richard
So I had a peek, and woah! She's buying equipment for the space station under her own name! I've got her now!
Options
This is no evidence at all...
Richard
Geez, do I really have to break it down for you?
Richard
The space station has its own financial procedures. As long as the purchase is for the space station, no matter how big or small, it has to go through the organizational account using the station's allocated funds.
Richard
The payer here is her private account. She's totally embezzling station funds for herself!
Richard
I'm so disappointed — so hurt! She looks like a sweet enough girl, but not only did she fail to repay Madam Herta for promoting her, she even stooped to this.
Richard
I was so angry that I was shaking. I broke out in a cold sweat!
Options
Have you ever considered that... maybe she paid for it herself?
Richard
That amount of money? Herself!? Who do you think she is, Fleming's daughter?
Richard
Anyway, now you know everything, so leave me alone. I still need to write a report about this for Madam Herta.
