Ellen leaned in listening to what Daric had to say. As usual, as a legitimate member on the roster, Daric was given a copy of it. Ellen wasn't a legitimate member, only taking the place of Dr. Emilio Allende, her boss in the CSI lab. He would have the roster with him. "I see ... I understand," she said, leaning back on the back of her seat, pulling out her earpiece and placing it in her ear. She faced Daric one final time, saying, "It's alright, you don't need to send me the roster. I think I know somebody who has one," before getting up and walking to the railing again.<br/><br/>Most of her family were given a basic implant that worked with radio waves and such to aid them in contacting family and close friends. All one needed to do was to upload contact information to an external device, which would be Ellen's earpiece, and say the person's name in a normal voice and it would automatically dial whatever machine that person would use, either another earpiece, phone, or intercom. Such technology could be used from one hemisphere of the planet to the other, without using aids from a satellite in orbit. Ellen, once at the railing, she spoke out loud, saying, "Contact: Doctor Emilio Allende." Immediately the dial tone was heard through her earpiece and the line was picked up.<br/><br/><em>*"Dr. Allende speaking."*</em><br/><br/>*"Hey Boss."*<br/><br/><em>*"Ellen! So are you going on the Exodious expedition?"*</em><br/><br/>*"Yeah, I just wanted to call about the crew roster. Do you have it? It seems since I'm not actually on the roster myself, I didn't get one sent to me."*<br/><br/><em>*"I have it, do you want me to send it to you? It has a security clearance of Level 2, but that only one level above the civilian copy. I'll send it to your datapad."*</em><br/><br/>*"Oh cool, thanks, boss. Guess I'll see you in, twenty years?"*<br/><br/><em>*"Oh gosh, I'm going to be so old by then. Anyway, godspeed."*</em><br/><br/>*"Godspeed."*<br/><br/>The earpiece died out and Ellen placed back into her pocket. She pulled out her holopad and turned it on, revealing a message on the screen that said, "You have 1 new message!" Tapping on the message bubble opened the complete roster of the 3000 man crew of the Exodious. Since it was a Level 2 security clearance, Ellen was able to find Dr. Emilio Allende's name and open up his profile. She upload her profile over his so that her name showed up in the list of names instead of her boss's name.<br/><br/>Carrying the holopad back to the table, she witnessed through the glass a man, obviously drunk or close to it, jump up on the stage and take a mic in his hand. He gave a flamboyant speech about the mission, and the crowd who were interrupted only laughed instead of taking offense. Ellen searched the list of the names after taking a picture of the man using the holopad's camera. The holopad was able to search the mugshots stored in the roster and match it to the snapshot she just took. A profile immediately came up on the holopad. "Enio Pellegrini ... Astrobiology and genetics engineering," Ellen muttered.
