Juliette saved the files in question and marked them for later

[John: Alright, I'm presuming this is Katyrn Sanz we're talking
about? Or do I have her name wrong?]

Juliette shifted in her seat, briefing scanning the empty hangar
again. "Anything about those two men Saddik was talking to?" she
asked.
The two men don't match anyone that the SRID has on file.

Sighing just slightly, Lemanz sat back and attempted to let
everything she'd seen and heard sink in. This was more information
than she was expecting. "I'll be standing by for instructions if you
need someone on the ground here," she offered. "And was there
anything else on Neil's financial troubles or old enemies, like
Mother Superior?"
