It can't be matched exactly with the ship's logs, they were
too damaged for that, but what you have of the logs don't
rule out this scene having been taken when the ship was last
on Sequi. When you comparing Moby's death and the timestamp
shows it was about 150 days before Moby died.

No to both. Nothing on who recorded it, nor on whether it is
an original or copy.

Maybe that was me and not you. You might want to run it
past Jacarter Woolbridge...or April Rose once you meet up
with her on Mark.
As to whether you can identify body guards or wathers, no,
you don't see anything obvious, but you're instincts tell
you this is a tape of a meeting of some kind.

Reminder: There are several different scenes on the tape.
You've been concentrating on the Sequi scene, because that
is where you were, but there are three other scenes, too,
and there *is* a location and time on them as well.
1. Sequi: 996.333
2. Osbeorht: 996.348
3. Serbia: 997.003
4. Leuet: 997.021
From the damaged logs, you also know that Akus abruptly
turned his ship around shortly thereafter, while on Gaston,
and headed straight back to Mark. Once he got there he gave
his crew a month vacation, hid the ship in the asteroid in
Mark's belt, sneaked back to Mark aboard the Random Walk,
disappeared for a while, then reappeared just in time to get
himself killed...probably by Pele "Pickaxe" Hiiki.
Woof was aboard during this cruise, and so was Pasco Carl.
You could question both, Woof now and Pasco when you get to
Mark.
