 The funding of TWIT had been partly official and partly through some unorthodox routes co-ordinated by a rogue employee of Mr Fisk, one of the richer businessmen in Over. There is no evidence that the Government funding was used for the early stages of the SAID development, although there is little doubt that some of this was misappropriated by the Directors of TWIT and Fisk's employee in the later stages. The funding of TWIT had been partly official and partly through some unorthodox routes co-ordinated by a rogue employee of Mr Fisk, one of the richer businessmen in Over.

-Admiral Bastrop had no knowledge of anthing to do with SAID until after the MAFC operation began. The only information that he could remember that related to the setup of TWIT was the secondment of 2 x LSSI to work for the Govrenor on a secret project. he despatched the LSSI but has no knowledge of what they were doing while they were absent from the fleet.+Admiral Bastrop had no knowledge of anything to do with SAID until after the MAFC operation began.

 He also authorised the upgrade to the autopilot systems on the pacifiers at Over Station. He accepted that he had signed the order but did not recall doing so and had no idea that they had anything to do with a SAID. The pacifier autopilots were 'black-box' components and looked identical to normal pacifier autopilots. He also authorised the upgrade to the autopilot systems on the pacifiers at Over Station.

 Admiral Bastrop informed the Commission that his staff had been monitoring space traffic in the system since before the MAFC Operation began and that he could confirm that no ships had left the planet since Johannes Schmidt was last seen. it we therefore his professional opinion that Schmidt was still on the planet. A view shared by his MAFC counterpart. Admiral Bastrop informed the Commission that his staff had been monitoring space traffic in the system since before the MAFC Operation began and that he could confirm that no ships had left the planet since Johannes Schmidt was last seen. it we therefore his professional opinion that Schmidt was still on the planet.

Line 97: Line 96:
 The MAFC was justified in its actions to contain the SAID although it could have provided more warning to the other polities before acting. It could also have made more attempts to resolve the situation without the use of force against humans. The MAFC was justified in its actions to contain the SAID although it could have provided more warning to the other polities before acting.

-Governor Potato should be seen as a victim of a heinous crime. He had a control device implanted in him without his consent and was subsequently controlled by the SAID for its own ends for a period of weeks ending onyl with the destruction of the SAID by MAFC forces. This has left him with permanent memory loss and unknown psychological trauma.+Governor Potato should be seen as a victim of a heinous crime.

 A number of individuals made a considerable amount of money as a result of the operation of the SAID, amongst whom were the four directors of TWIT, Mr Fisk and Governor Potato. Not all of these people were necessarily willing participants but further investigation will be necessary by the local criminal courts to determine liability. (Except in the case of Governor Potato where it is clear that he was not a witting participant and would not have been willing had he known about the SAID). A number of individuals made a considerable amount of money as a result of the operation of the SAID, amongst whom were the four directors of TWIT, Mr Fisk and Governor Potato.
