“More likely an experiment gone wrong, if anything,” she said with a smirk. Giving a cursory scan of the case, Cori crouched down in front rather intrigued. The seals were nor more than gold stickers that were embossed with the words ‘Precious Cargo’. “I’m reading nothing but plant fibres and other small amounts of everyday substances. Nothing unusual.”
“Should I open it?” she said, casting a look at the Chief of Security.

“I would.” he replied and moved to stand next to her. “It’s yours. And it may bring happiness or pain. But either way, it will bring you some of you.”
Sinclair, CoS
She arched her brows at him, despite the smirk. “So the security chief isn’t worried about a random item in my quarters that I don’t know where it came from? Cool. Good to know…”
Though she hesitated, Cori did reach over and unclasp the locks on the case. Inside was a folded piece of paper with a printed message and when opened read:
I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?
Cori’s mouth dropped open and she handed it to Royal. “Is this some sort of joke?”

Royal looked at the note and furrowed his brow for a moment and then snapped his fingers. “An echo.” and he looked at her for a moment. “And that means… what, exactly?”
Royal
Cori shrugged her arms out to the side. “Beats me if I know. Why would someone leave me a riddle? Who would do that?” She peered around her quarters suspiciously.
“I mean, royal, let’s be serious here for a moment. We’re talking someone who put something in the quarters of a being who is a part of the computer. That definitely takes skill.” For reasons she couldn’t yet explain, Cori was intrigued and, if she were a little honest, impressed as well.
