Al,

Nick was referring to the intentional interferer. How did THEY find the bug, and test it, before using it on Einstein.

Lots of people (including the report) don't buy the person's story that they "accidentally" found out by killing 2056 in SF2-1.

@Ed Law: I hadn't thought of the REASON they came to the FTA's, but now that you say that, I think you're right. They probably suspected that someone else knew, and was targeting THEIR alliance. Otherwise, why would they admit to the crime they'd (to that point, anyway) gotten away with?
