Descriptions:

[FIRST IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

The first e-mail, read on a mobile, was sent by Dr. Hugh Darton to Prof. Dan Elkwood, using their research addresses (respectfully hughdarton@res-mail.com and profdelkwood@res-mail.com).

Darton sent his e-mail at 2:43 am. Elkwood read it from his inbox at 6:28 am. The e-mail is entitled: RPT-"Alcura Incident". It includes a 2,7 Mo PDF attachment, which is named: Rpt-56441CA2.pdf.

Content of the e-mail goes as follow:

Dear Prof. Elkwood, Attached to this email is the report you asked foron the Alcura Incident,which happened a few days ago (27/04/56). Evidences have been retrieved and sent to the lab for further analysis. Dir. Calvin expects full cooperation regarding the information we may gather on the incident. "Security matter" as he told us. Respectfully, Dr. Hugh Darton

The second e-mail, read on mobile, was sent by Elkwood to Darton. Elkwood sent his email at 6:39 am. Darton read it from his inbox at 6:41 am. The e-mail is a direct reply to Darton's, and is therefore entitled: re:RPT-"Alcura Incident". The e-mail contains no attachment.

Content of the e-mail goes as follow:

Thank you for the report, Dr. Darton. Hope Dir. Calvin wasn't too insistent - the way security managers always are. Will share lunch with Committee member Pr. Eliza Fresco tomorrow. Feel free to join us. Best, Pr. Elkwood

Complementary notes:

Darton and Elkwood used to be very formal with each other - Darton out of respect and admiration, Elkwood out of politeness, if not a bit out of pomposity. Elkwood had met "more bootlickers than [he]'d wish" (Memoirs, 27) and assumed Darton was of the same moral fiber.

Following the Alcura Incident, and Darton's ability to maintain his team afloat while handling the invasive presence of Security Manager Calvin Haussmann, Elkwood's perception of his colleauge shifted, and his interest in Darton's work grew stronger.

During the weeks following this e-mail exhange, Darton and Elkwood would meet more regulary and exchange information on the Alcura Incident, and would find a way to topple Dir. Calvin from their activities. (Memoirs, 145)
