Part 7: Citation Needed
"Life would be simpler if computers were linked."
Liz, a Caprica City Records Centre senior clerk, ignored Didi's grumbling. Lawyers and law enforcement agencies' representatives whined about the situation regularly.
"70 hits on Bill Adama, 3523 on Commander Adama," Liz informed Didi, handing her a printout.
Didi took out a marker and started highlighting what microfiche she would need to locate, using the differing dates as her guide. "I didn't want to go home tonight anyway."
"212 on Zak Adama."
"Zak died in a Fleet accident," Didi remarked. "There was an inquest."
"62 on Leland Adama, and 571 on Lee Adama."
"Our Caprican Quorum representative. That explains most of his mentions."
"42 for Evelyn Adama. 2978 for Joseph Adama."
Didi blinked. "The father? Is that an error?"
Liz checked her computer screen again. "No, that's what I have here."
"Who was Joseph Adama that he turns up in the newspapers almost as many times as his son, a Battlestar commander, Cylon War hero, and partner of the woman who brought down the government?" Didi asked breathlessly. "What are the related searches?"
Liz's flew over the keys for a moment before she answered: "Name searches are Evelyn and Commander Adama, of course. Plus Sam Adama, Tamara Adama, William Adama."
"William Adama is Commander Adama," she reminded Liz.
Liz shook her head. "No, it's dates before he was alive. Also Shannon Adama, and Daniel Graystone."
"Graystone Industries Daniel Graystone?"
"Graystone Industries is listed under Joseph Adama's related searches, so yes, I would assume so. You sure you don't know this Adama, Didi? He's listed as an author of two series of law books."
"No. I'll need the names of those books."
Liz frowned at the screen. "You might also find this interesting," she murmured. "Joseph Adama has another related search: the Ha'la'tha."
