Some interest in the project then. Everyone who wasn't really into AIs and programming tended to have glazed over by now when he got into the details of the Porject. And this guy just wanted to know about the people developing it? Chasing down Emmanuel and Foster would lead him on a bit of a wile goose chase at least. It was quite possible that Lawrence was the only person from the Project still alive. Soleil had been... thorough.

"Robert Emmanuel, up at Inverness? And Aisling Foster. She's American, dunno if you've heard of her. If the field is as bafflingly obscure as it is over here, no reason you should have. It was a big deal though when she moved over a fair few years ago. Before I started of course, but I remember hearing there were possibilities in... oh, what was it... uh... security codes impervious to US and Chinese hacking."

None of which was even close to what they'd been researching, and all of it was information which was easy to verify with a few net searches. If they had any internet.
