"Movement around Station 63," Sebastian said suddenly. "Stephanie's talking to someone I don't recognize. Male, early thirties, carrying equipment cases."
Emily looked up. "Can you identify him?"

"They're working in pairs," Davis said grimly. "Professional operation."
"What's Stephanie doing with him?" Timothy asked.
Sebastian zoomed the camera feed. "They're exchanging something. Can't see what. Now he's leaving and she's returning to her station."
