Later, JC learns that Filben is an aide to Stanton Dowd, a prominent member of the Illuminati who once owned a freighter that is now being used by Majestic 12.

 * Meeting Filben is a secondary objective. Completing the primary objective before meeting him will result in a different set of dialogue when he is then encountered.
