==Transcript==
*'''[[Christian Ramsay]]''': "You know, I don't feel comfortable doing this."

''Ramsay's side of the transmission is examined by a program. His crimes are listed beside him. A city is seen behind him.''

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "We're still speaking, so a part of you must like it. We have another request of you."

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "What is it?"

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "We require a null state stasis container."

''The term "null state stasis container" is flagged by the program as a keyword. Ramsey laughs. As he does, his identity is examined by the program.''

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "Told you it was challenging."

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "That'd take a miracle. Especially this far out."

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "The rate will match the risk."

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "Most of our cargo's preserved or inert goods. How big? What are you trying to freeze here? People, or something more volatile?"

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "You once told us you didn't wish to know."

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "You're right. I don't. Regardless, they're numbered. They're sequenced. Most are [[UNSC]] property. It could take months."

''Ramsay's confidence levels are monitored, while the program identifies perspiration on him and that he is nervous. Ambient noise is detected.''

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "You're panicking. Our client is eager and wealthy."

''Unintelligible sounds are heard.''

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "Since you've delivered before, I'll personally see if they're willing to up the percentage."

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "I do like eager. I might be able to get you a small case. Maybe 10 cubic meters. Museum-grade."

''As he speaks, his levels of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty are monitored.''

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "Is it hermetic? Zero energy state?"

''"Zero energy state" is identified as a keyword.''

*'''Christian Ramsay''': "Yeah, basically. No energy, no atomic movement. Bulletproof, small."

*'''Unidentified speaker''': "Sounds like we may have a deal."

''Ramsey shuts off the communications.''
