Well, Jane Lamarr is certainly a ghost. You know more than I do. I went into Yellowstone records and couldn’t even find her there. Following up on Ada Lamarr’s ident sequence and birth records, no mother is listed.1There’s not even a hospital record of anyone being in the room when Ada was born. Whoever scrubbed Jane Lamarr from the records wasthorough.2

1 What the fuck? I looked up those records when I was screening Ada for security at the gala. IknowI saw both her parents’ names listed on the birth records.

2 Fuckfuckfuckfuck, I’m pretty sure I know who didthat.

Jamie,

It seems likely that Ada Lamarr scrubbed her mother’s records in the time between the gala, when I last accessed them, and now. It is unfortunate that I did not keep offline records of what I read, but I do recall there being more, which means that our files have been tampered with. Please advise in regards to securing the records from being further tampered with through hacking.

RIAN WHITE:Phoebe, any additional data on Xlendi Tower?

PHOEBE BRÜCKE:There’s a record of someone working there for the tourism department, but not Jane Lamarr or Jane anything.

RW:I assumed as much.

PB:It may be obvious, but...Jane Lamarr...Jane Irwin . . .

RW:Are you thinking they may be the same person?1

PB:It’s possible, right? We don’t know who leads the Green Rogue organization. Itcouldbe Ada’s mother.

RW:Considering Jane disappeared from Xlendi Tower so quickly, and the fact that all information has been scrubbed from records that arehighlyclassified and supposed to be secure . . .2

RW:Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind as well.

PB:We all thought Ada was personally invested in saving Earth because of her father’s death.3
