The corporation Atriama will be established as a Limited Structured Company registered with the State of New York...

...Intending to act in accordance with applicable commercial and environmental law...

...Aforementioned corporation agrees to retain the services of Mason and Wagner Legal as pertains to administration of tax obligations...

He's going to found a company called Atriama. Atriama intends to pay its taxes and follow the law. It has to store its money in an official New York bank account, and fines come straight out of that. The legal firm will have the ability to authorize transactions for tax purposes and make, view, and keep records of all his bank info, for the express purpose of doing his taxes for him.

Ms. Lesear explains everything patiently. Nothing seems too out of place or has completely unreadable amounts of legalese.

Campbell Mark Swan goes the signature. His handwriting has atrophied somewhat over the years.

"Aaand now I submit this electronically and you'll soon have a bank account. Want me to sort out a website too? Want me to look into the prospects of selling medical supplies, or internationally, or is commodity work fine for now?"

"I'd like to be able to do medical supplies and international sales, yeah. I guess a simple contact form and list of services would be a good idea but I think I don't want a big splashy web presence."

"That's what I was thinking, just a small thing to show presence. How should we contact you and how often do you want updates, checkins, and so on? -Oh, New York approved the sign-up. I have your bank info here, you'll want to take it down- Cash deposits and withdrawals only in full branches, inside the PZs. Many slum businesses just use cash, but many will accept and pay in bank transfers too, especially the larger ones. Tower Group, Green Dragon, that kind of scale, definitely will."

Cam takes notes. "You can reach me asynchronously by writing a letter entitled 'letter to Cam' and then not sending it. If you need me in an emergency probably we should be able to get in phone contact."

"Almost all electronic communication is vulnerable. The popular solutions to this are various forms of security through obscurity, obsessively strong cryptography, and in-person meetings. This phone has a satellite receiver and service with Helix, you should probably get the same- I can sign you up for it if you make the device."

Cam pulls out his Sinzil Sheen Pro. "Will this do or do I need a different kind? I could also get you my kind of computer security, with the brain chip, but I admittedly don't know what your port is already interacting with and there could be some contraindication."

"...Let's not until you get a doctor on board. The spikes were... Exciting. That seems too novel. Sinzil makes good stuff. Let me see it for a bit?"

Cam hands over the phone. "Writing me a letter and not sending it is completely secure against anybody but more of me but I don't think there are those around here, so the real issue is if I need to tell you something confidentially, otherwise you can just call and say 'hey check your mail'."

"Urgent confidential communications to your lawyer seem less likely, yes. Not impossible..."

She is doing things on his phone now.

Phone things for a few minutes.

"There. Flipping this icon on makes it connect to Helix only, turns off everything else for security. It'll take a bit to connect. And then you can call me in the priority contacts in the Helix app- Under Eva Lesear, right here. I didn't put the New York Bank app on here because that would be an unwise security move. Anything can be hacked and stolen if enough angles are exposed."

"So, some final notes. Mrs. Bacon is your best bet for criminal defense particularly, if someone attacks your organization with malicious arrests, but there are probably going to be a dozen other things to take care of. You can contact me whenever you like, consider me on retainer." She pats the bag of jewelry, which jingles slightly. "I'd even be happy to act as a manager or company face if that starts proving frustrating or difficult to hire for. I still don't know anyone I'd recommend trusting with the secret, and telling managers 'sell, sell, sell at rock bottom prices' without the secret might be complicated."

"I already told a couple random people at the hospital. And there are a couple other randos who know."

"I have no idea how likely it is to spread and be believed. You're the one who's assuming risks, there. And I want to emphasize again that I take the confidentiality seriously, I'll keep to it, but I want to do anything and everything I can to remain involved in whatever comes next. It'll be as much a paradigm shift as the industrial revolution or the information age."

"You wanna live on Venus?"

"Once it's safe," she hedges.

"Oh, yeah, I'm going to terraform it and in the meantime we're gonna do a dirigible thing above the cloud layer."

"Isn't the atmosphere very thick? Opposite problem of Mars?"

"Yup. Breathable air will float a balloon."

Nodnod.

"When it's safe. Say... When a hundred people are there and nothings gone wrong in three months."

"Valid not to want to be an early adopter."

Shrug. "I practically think in risks sometimes. Should have been an actuary, I think sometimes."

"Well, I feel fortunate to have encountered you and it wasn't as an actuary."

"It doesn't hurt that law is kind of exhausting. Though I'm sure some people would say that about any job. You should take steps to verify me."

"I suppose it would defeat the purpose to ask you what those steps should be but I don't actually know how to do that."
