The bureau has received a report that there was some kind of intelligence leak about the Ursa Minor station. I asked for the job of investigating. Been at it for two days now, but I haven't run into anything of use. All I know is that the exact coordinates of the station and some intel on the nearby wormhole were leaked. I don't know to who, I don't know who did it, but we have found that the information was illegally retrieved and sent to an encrypted address.

I admit it, I asked for this job solely because it was about the Ursa Minor. I haven't found anything to support it, but I can't help but suspect that Burnside might be behind this. The U.S. has had a rough time over the past 15 years, what with the New Space Race with China and the tensions with Canada, and Burnside has been near the head of it all. He negotiated the treaty with China, and he carried out talks with Canada when it appeared they might be conspiring against the states. Most would call him a hero for all of this, but most people haven't been on his crew. I've seen what Burnside is capable of: he'll kill if he has to, and it doesn't matter whose flag they're wearing. I can't help but wonder, did he have something to do with escalating the conflicts with China and Canada in the first place? We've never had a real conflict with Canada, so why would they start conspiring against us now? I'm starting to think that Burnside might have orchestrated the whole thing, maybe to establish the United States' dominance once again, or to give Mintel Robotics an edge, since their competitor, Silmani Inc. was handing new robots to Canada, and not us. Either way, I believe that Burnside had more to do with it all than people know.

So is he behind this intel leak? I plan to find out. Most people wouldn't consider Burnside a suspect in this situation, but most people don't know him like I do.
