: The primary need is to get to the top level, where

: I’ve been working for countless different officials within the UESC, or was

: within striking distance of Pfhor Prime.

In Rubicon, this message is written by a "Mark Renton". By coincidence, though probably not, this is the name of Ewan McGregor's character in the 1996 film "Trainspotting".

Renton is a resident of Edinborough and a junie trying to kick the habit. I've personally never seen the film, though I've been told I should. Perhaps others here who have can cough up a few extra details?

Anyways, the following link is worth a look to those interested:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/

The "memorable quotes" section is especially pertinent, as many of Renton's sayings and narrations match the tone of this terminal.
