So what do you think? I want to have BB-8 look at it too, but I'm starting to think it wasn't a glitch. It was too specific for that.

Deeefinitely not a glitch. Yeah, maybe BB-* can find something.

[He takes the communicator back and pages down to a zipped file.]

How about this? Can you tell what it is? Someone on the network told me it would help identify if there was some kind of slice on the signal, but I didn't know who it was so I haven't run it yet.

[~~It's totally malware.]~~]

Hmmm do you know WHO sent it? I mean it could be the same guy that pickpocketed your comm.

[It's not, but FINN PLEASE.]

[Finn shakes his head. Hey, at least he didn't run it yet?]

Nope. It was sent anonymously.

[Praise be!]

Theeeen I probably wouldn't open it, especially after someone stole your comm like that. Might even be a good idea to delete it.

Huh. Yeah, I guess you're right.

[TRASH CAN sorry Bill Cypher]

[It's sad when the tiny pink pony from a world without computer viruses is more Internet safe than Finn.]

There you go! Hmmm should probably see if you can put a password on this.

[And please don't make it "Finn." Or "Finn1."]

[Look, he never claimed to be anything but a Security officer.]

Can you--do you think biometrics would work? That way I don't have to remember it.

[That's true. And she'd be one to talk if she DID talk, considering how frustrating Comms work was for her.]

Biometrics? What's that?

Like, uh. [How do you explain something like this.] Where I'm from, the officers always had these little devices that were keyed to their genetic material, and when someone sent an encrypted message they'd make it so only that officer could open it.

Oh that's REALLY cool! That's WAY out of my league but maybe you can talk to Dany about something like that!

[... Maybe just write the password on your hand until you've got it memorized, then.]

Yeah, maybe. [She's communications, too, so maybe she'll know how to do it? For a moment Finn misses Aphra because she probably would have known how to do this. But none of the others from his time are Engineering or Comms, so he can't go to someone who's already familiar with it. Oh well.]

OOH! Or Tony Stark! He's on the Pathstone but he's a Communications officer and he knows a LOT about tech stuff from home!

[The name sounds familiar, but he wrinkles his brow for a moment trying to place it.]

Oh! Yeah, he messaged me and said to, uh. Not talk about nazis on the network because it would make people uncomfortable. And he wanted to know everything about Hux.

That's probably good. He's a pretty nice guy [if a Class A cocky troll, not that she knows] and I think he'd be happy being able to make stuff.

Huh. And he must be Communications, too, cause he figured out who I was. Good idea.
