The jewel cases, she knew, would have integrated tracers. So would some of the bigger gems. But Bink hadn’t planned to be overly greedy. She dumped out the cases into the safe, spreading the contents around just to confuse the issue a bit, then selected a half dozen of the more modest-sized stones. She put them in an anti-sensor pouch, just to be on the safe side, and slid the pouch behind her belt.

And with that, she was almost done. Almost. Because the minute Cristoff opened the safe and saw the mess she’d left behind there would be hell to pay from one end of the liner to the other.

Which simply meant making sure he never again opened the safe.

A dead energy cell on this kind of sequentially shared public safe typically triggered one of two default modes. The first was for the door to simply unlock, which would allow the current owner to retrieve his or her valuables. The downside there was that it would likewise allow anyone else to do so if he or she got there first. The second, more common approach, was for the safe to lock down completely, requiring a visit from the ship’s purser and a specialized power/code pulse to reopen it.

The first step was to make sure the default setting was for a complete safe lockdown. The second was to drain the energy cell. The third was to reset the purser’s master code.

Just for fun, she set it to the date and CTE market number of Cristoff’s second successful corporate takeover.
