‘Admiral,’ Foxx said, ‘we have a problem.’ ‘I have several,’ Marshall said wearily, ‘don’t tell me that you’re going to add to the list.’ ‘We believe that there is a conspiracy to initiate a prison riot on Tethys Gaol.’ ‘Riot?’ Marshall echoed. ‘What the hell for, there’s nowhere for the prisoners to go and they’d never get out of those blocks anyway.’ ‘They will if they’re armed,’ Detective Allen insisted. ‘We have evidence that an Officer Anthony Ricard was responsible for transporting weapons between Tethys and Polaris Station. He had access to the weapons during that time, and may have altered their programming.’ ‘Altered it how?’ ‘We’re not certain yet,’ Foxx admitted, ‘but it appears that Ricard may have been altering or removing the security chips that prevent inmates and civilians from firing the weapons, while also exchanging them for non–military weapons and smuggling MM–15 plasma pistols planet–side for sale.’ Marshall froze in motion as he considered this.
