I knew she was dodgy

Think long and hard about it. With a space station this large, how much profit can one squeeze out?
NPC
NPC
This is not something to joke about. She's Madam Herta's student
NPC
NPC
What about it? So we are not allowed to talk about her just because she's Herta's student?
NPC
NPC
She...
NPC
NPC
There's a lot of juicy stuff about her
NPC

NPC
NPC
It's a bit inconvenient right now
NPC
NPC
Inconvenient my foot!

What group chat is this?
NPC
NPC
Check out the group name yourself @Take-Ultimate-To-The-Face
NPC
NPC
Stop interrupting, @Richard_Knowitall spill it
NPC
NPC
Nah, forget it
NPC
NPC
Stop baiting us. This is an anonymous chatroom, so no need to beat around the bush. Just spill it out already
NPC
NPC
It's not like you guys don't already know...
NPC
NPC
Get to the point!
NPC
NPC
You know, that whole embezzling thing
NPC
NPC
Did you see the huge piles of parcels at the reception hall? All of them are addressed to our young lead researcher!
NPC
NPC
Goodness gracious! So this is where all the money has gone this whole time. No wonder the budget's been so tight.
NPC
NPC
Just hold your horses! Let's not rush to throw accusations around yet
NPC
NPC
We can't just rely on your words. Where's the evidence?
NPC
NPC
Evidence? Did you see the huge piles of parcels at the reception hall? All of them are addressed to our young lead researcher!

What's in the parcels?
NPC
NPC
I only took a glimpse at them, and they're all super expensive.
NPC
NPC
Maybe she paid for them herself?
NPC
NPC
Other than Madam Herta, who on earth can afford those things with their own money?
NPC
NPC
You guys know that Arlan from the Security Department? I saw him acting all weird and suspicious at the front desk. If it weren't for the guilty look on his face, I could have never noticed.
NPC
NPC
Hmm, since you brought it up... I might have also seen Arlan acting weird when receiving some packages.
NPC
NPC
I told you so
NPC
NPC
Now it all adds up.
NPC
NPC
Now it all adds up.
Player

Are you suggesting Asta and Arlan are in cahoots to secretively enrich themselves?
NPC
NPC
I dunno. @Richard_Knowitall said it, not me
NPC
NPC
...Ah, tsk. I was waiting a good part of the day for some juicy gossip. Is that it?
NPC
NPC
Exactly. When it's all said and done, there still isn't any hard proof
NPC
NPC
@M-Robot But you just said it yourself that Arlan was acting all suspicious.
NPC
NPC
That's all I said
NPC
NPC
I'm actually covertly investigating the source of her assets, but it isn't time to reveal everything yet.
NPC
NPC
Just you wait. Within days, there will be a major story in the space station!
NPC
NPC
That'd better be the case
