Transfer opportunities
From: HR@tarvos.corp To: GLOBAL@tarvos.corp

Tarvos Security is growing by leaps and bounds. We have secured three more large contracts. This means a marked increase in hiring and opportunities.

Some examples:

-Palisade Property Bank is expanding. They are planning on opening at least three more branches in the Czech Republic.

-Tarvos will be providing security on oil platforms in Brunei, as well as city-wide policing services in Bandar Seri Bagawan

Details are available. Please submit your transfer requests early. Openings are limited but we will make every attempt to prioritize internal appointments before new external hires.

Special on the horizon:

Apex Tower is hosting a number of high-profile events in the near future - The Santeau Group presents the Safe Harbour Initiative - The Futurist Conference on Nanotechnology - The Bilderberg Symposium

Thank you for your attention.

From: Red1Calvin To: PPB_All

How can you all sit in your ivory tower and serve the masters?! These companies you protect are NOT people. Why do you let them hide their secrets? You can’t keep this up. We are the millions. We’ll bring down the corporatocracy. We’ll bring down your money-centric system. Eternal Growth is a fallacy built on the backs of the poor and serving only the rich. It is a finite world. There must be the concept of ‘enough’. Get ready for the change. R1C

Palisade VIP Vaults
This computer is located in the main security room on the first level. It has a security rating of 1 and the password is P34T45WF.

Re: VIP Rooms A and B
From: Graves.A@tarvos.corp To: Tierney.C@tarvos.corp

Clem,

What do you mean, trick? Didn’t Zeb show you around when you started? There’s a simple security 101 email that clearly explains things. Check the image I attached so you don’t search for it for hours (like I’m sure you’ve already been doing). Once inside, the password is P34T45WF. [sic]

And my name is Ander, no “s”.



REFERENCED EMAIL: From: Tierney.C@tarvos.corp To: Graves.A@tarvos.corp Subject: VIP Rooms A and B

Hi Anders,

Hey how do you we access VIP rooms A and B? It’s a trick, right? A “goose the new guy” prank?

Security 101 (the VIP lockers)
From: Graves.A@tarvos.corp To: PPB@tarvos.corp

All staff,

To clear up any confusion on the VIP locker security process, here’s a simple recap:

There is a client key card for each of the 2 rooms. Upon unlocking the key card reader, the lockers rise up from the ground, the lasers turn off, and the security is lowered. The client can then access his or her locker. Once the client leaves the room it’s the responsibility of the guard(s) in that room to re-initiate the security system, in which case the key card reader is re-locked, the lockers lower back into the ground, the lasers turn on and security is raised once again. In the event that there is an emergency (breach, terror attack, fire, flood, whatever), an automatic lockdown will be initiated that will seal off access to the VIP lockers by sending the lockers back down in the ground if activated, or locking them in place if they are stored.

Now everyone should be on the same page.

Security Concerns
From: Julian.Vuong@LVA.prg.mail To: Bartosz Wlodek

Mr. Wlodek,

The last time I visited my safe I found foliage, leaves to be exact, in the Executive Safe room.

As remarkable as this is, your first inclination might be to suggest the leaves in question were brought in via another client’s footwear, say stuck to the soles of their shoes. Anticipating your expected refutation, I had the leaves professionally examined by friends a professional nature within the field of forensics and was assured that the leaves were NEVER STEPPED ON.

Could it be, sir, that there is access to the bank from the exterior allowing all kinds of wildlife to wander within? There would be an astonishing oversight if true and leaves me wondering how secure your bank really is. Please tell me the air conditioning and ventilation areas are secure. You promise your clients the highest level of security yet my unwanted discovery is hardly boosting my confidence in such claims.

I await your reply and expect it quickly.

Regards, Julian Vuong Lestex Varner Assoc.

RE: Follow-up
From: N.Domingues@freemail.prg.mail To: Tomas Romanek

Mr. Romanek,

Thank you for meeting with me last week. It was very informative. We end up doing so much tele-business these days, it’s nice to finally put a face to the name.

I have received the second client card (thank you for that, as well).

Nik Domingues President, WealthCorp

REFERENCED EMAIL: From: Tomas Romanek To: N.Domingues@freemail.prg.mail Subject: Follow-up

Mr. Domingues,

This is simply a short message to confirm that everything has been validated and is ready for you. We have already sent you a second client card.

Like the first, this card is used to access your Executive Safe in room B. The card will deactivate all automatic security measures in the room when you swipe the card reader.

Please let me remind you that without your card, you will not be able to access your safe. There are no exceptions to this. If you happen to lose either card, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can replace them for you. This is for your security as well as ours.

Executive Services Room
From: Dominik Barabas To: Ivana Drahos

Hey Ivana

Mr. Romanek told me that you might need to use the office downstairs to ‘entertain’ some important clients now that Bartosz is gone.

I’ve temporarily changed the code for you – 9593.

Christ... don’t know exactly what happened there, do you? I’ve heard some rumors, but nothing official came down except he’s on ‘leave’. Whatever that means.

Discuss over beers later? Maria is coming ;)

Our best face forward

This is especially important given we are expanding in the coming months.

RE: FW: Home Profit Secrets!
From: Dominik Barabas To: Daniel Janecek

We don’t have an ALL_CLIENTS mailing list. This looks like it might be a targeted phishing scam sent to only a few clients that were maybe too public about their having an account with us. It’s not very elegant either. I mean ‘Home profit secrets’??? All our clients are filthy rich. Why would any of them fall for this? Tell Romanek to send all clients a warning about this kind of thing. I’ll do some digging in the logs just to make sure we haven’t actually been breached. Dom

REFERENCED EMAIL: From: Daniel Janecek To: Dominik Barabas Subject: FW: Home Profit Secrets!

Dominik, have you seen this?! I got it from Romanek, and he got it from one of our clients. This is a problem. How’d they get our client list? That’s supposed to be impossible. We need to get on this RIGHT NOW. We can’t afford any more security problems.

From: Masaaki Oshiro To: Daniel Janecek

Daniel,

I understand completely. You'll just have to coordinate with the Tarvos people.

None of us like these late minute changes but when an important client makes demands, sometimes you have to make concessions. It's a fine balance. Security IS our major concern, but without satisfied customers, all these security systems would be safe-guarding an empty building.

From: Daniel Janecek To: Masaaki Oshiro Subject: Surprise visit

Mr. Oshiro,

I understand that VersaLife is a very important client, and Page Industries is one of our biggest accounts, but this kind of security protocol override sets a dangerous precedent. I don't have to tell you there is a reason corporate vault visits are scheduled long in advance. This particular case is doubly inconvenient so soon after the installation of the new turret system.

New Account
From: Peter.Hall@#####.### To: Tomas Romanek

Mr. Romanek,

Your assurances of anonymity and security have convinced my client, as has Palisade's sterling reputation.

We will submit all necessary paperwork and financial records at her earliest convenience. I expect that transfer of data deposits can begin immediately after the agreement is signed?

As discussed, the deposit of physical assets will be done by appointment at some time after that.

Upcoming VL visit
From: Ashani Talwar To: Tomas Romanek

Tomas,

Neither I nor Masaaki will be around when Ms. Allman and her team arrive. I need you to make sure the visit goes smoothly. I think we've done all we can to convince them not to empty their vault. That being said, do what you can to at least salvage the account.

Make sure to coordinate with Daniel, and perhaps 'show-off' some of the new security measures we've added. Nothing elaborate, but try to impress upon them just how secure this place is.

Also, see if you can find out their reasoning. As far as I can determine they remain ignorant of our troubles with Wlodek and Bartek. Aside from that I haven't been able to get a straight answer from anyone at VersaLife as to why they are clearing their vault.

Plans?
From: annakron157@tmail.mail To: Pavel Karmoni

I have an idea for tomorrow: Let’s go antiquing! There’s a great little shop in Old City, or maybe it’s near Capek Fountain… Anyway, it’s called The Time Machine. Apparently they carry printed books. On paper! Can you believe it?! I’ve never been inside, and I don’t know anyone who has, but we could go see. It would be an adventure! Then maybe dinner? Tell me. Anna

RE: Early return?
This e-mail does not appear until after Jensen returns from Golem City.

From: Masaaki Oshiro To: Pavel Karmoni

Pavel,

There is absolutely no chance either myself or Ms. Ashani will make it back in time. We can't cancel these meetings on such short notice. Further, travel in and out of Prague since the Ruzicka [sic] attack is much more difficult. I don't know how Ms. Allman and her people will manage.

I want you to coordinate with Daniel. Make sure our new security measures are online and fairly visible and the best Tarvos men are on duty. Also I think Dominik is planning a presentation about the latest cyber-attack attempts and our record so check with him to see how it's coming along. If he needs any files off my shared folder, he can access it using the password scheherezade.

I don't know if we can convince them not to evacuate their vault, but I think we can save the account.

Masaaki

REFERENCED EMAIL:

From: Pavel Karmoni To: Masaaki Oshiro Subject: Early return?

Mr. Oshiro,

I have confirmed with officials from VersaLife. They are adamant and will not change their itinerary. Is there perhaps any chance that you or Ms. Talwar will be returning to Prague early in order to be present for this surprise visit? If not, is there anything in particular you would like us to do (preparation, reception)?

Thank you. Pavel

RE: Pre-loaded Vaults
From: Daniel Janecek To: Dominik Barabas

Dominik

Definitely the Tarvos vault, and I think Tai Yong Medical is also pre-loaded.

I’ve already sent word to begin the pre-loading of the VersaLife vault. I don’t know when they’ll be done with that. Ultimately, I think we can afford this minor slackening of our security protocols, since without the correct client cards, no one can access the pre-loaded vaults anyway. Just go ahead with your audit.

By the way, any news on how that anarcho-spam made it through the filter? That was company-wide, not good if our clients ever hear of it.

Dan.

REFERENCED EMAIL: From: Dominik Barabas To: Daniel Janecek Subject: Pre-loaded Vaults

We have a number of clients scheduled for viewings that were delayed because of our system audit. Several containers are still pre-loaded. The Picus account, maybe Tarvos, a few others. I’d have to check the log. Anyway, I was wondering if we should unload them all before the audit or just keep them in place now that VersaLife is coming in anyway. I know it’s against regular protocol, but then so is this visit, right? Dom

RE: Sorry
From: Sasha_Barabas@tmail.mail To: Dominik Barabas

That’s convenient - my parents are in town and you happen to not be able to get home. Again. They’re going to start thinking you left me. It’s a good thing Palisade pays you so much, or I might leave you. S

PS: If I find out that this is just another excuse for some bachelor party in the Red Light District...

Looks like another late one. You know how it is in the banking world, especially here at Palisade. The customer comes first. Anyway, with the public transportation issues, I don’t think I’ll be home tonight. Dom

Meeting rooms
From: Daniel Janecek To: PPB_All

When using the meeting rooms, be sure to erase the whiteboards when you are done. Not only is this common courtesy to other users of the rooms but I’ve seen too many examples of sensitive information on display that shouldn’t be.

Remember, people use these rooms every day and the cleaning staff have been forbidden from erasing or discarding information that is not clearly labelled. This is your responsibility, not theirs.
