EMPTY BOX

Message for Marshal Waits. This is Chief Porter in Tech Support. Look, there's nothing on this flight recorder, Waits. We've broken god knows how many corporate confidentiality agreements and come up with zip - nothing except the Weyland-Yutani logo and an empty read-out. Now, these things are built to last, so either someone on board 'the Nostromo' asked its MOTHER core to wipe it clean, or somehow the data's been corrupted before it got here. Care to fill me in on why this was a priority job?
