1) What is Gridsec's full company name? I seem to have deleted the relevant
posts from them to remind myself.

2) Since Brian Roger's is not currently posting (and in all likelihood not
even reading the list at the moment), who is in control of Serenity's fate?

Good question - I just called them Gridsec Incorporated - taken
blatantly from the s-rn list....Is there any canon on this?

Dunno...

They're a division of Lone Star, official name "Department of Matrix Security".

But they don't have to be, the could be pretty much anything you
want. Whomever operates the Seattle matrix (can't remember, but it's in
New Seattle and the Seattle Sourcbook, I believe) could very well contract
out part of it to another company -- ala Gridsec.

That'd be me. Brian gave me control of Serenity and Trixie when he
stopped posting and left the list.

I must say, this is kinda how I'd imagined it. THe 'trix is too specialist
a security section for the 'Star *not* to outsource.

Bit like InterNIC today (well, a few years back, anyway).
