I will spec that Aiden may be trying to get what he needs from Kamal for free. The cop tries to confiscate his CP device. Maybe Aiden thinks that if he gets Kamal's CP, he can figure out whatever tricks Kamal has put into it.

It's simpler than that. tack_hammer seems to suggest that it is just about revenge. After all, Aiden was humiliated by Sophia because Kamal spied on him. The sinister tone of voice he takes during tack_hammer also indicates this.

Well, with the addition of exclusive_license... we now know that Jersey/Durga is indeed the meta-dialogue, with the Janissary James stuff AND the Kamal stuff being what Durga has pulled up for him to listen to... So it's obvious that the Kamal stuff is what Durga's looking for, and the Janissary James stuff is in response to what Jersey asked for when he asked about getting pictures...
whew... that's a brainload for just a storyline... (But I'm not complaining!)

Kamal disapoints me. The cops gets there seconds after he started typing ... It was just not possible they would get there that fast!

I was actually just thinking about how Aiden says "The Berkley cops use their shock sticks, you know?". Maybe he just wanted to scare the hell out of Kamal, perhaps even have him get a little taste of a stun prod.

on_time went live.
It's the setup for Jan and the cop for the next morning when he kills the guy. After she watches the vid.

I don't think code_nothing goes at the end of that group... the reason I say this is because asset has the long wind down on it. Normaly that means it's the end of that grouping. I think code_nothing is when Jan gets home after getting the tape from the Cop. But that's just the Lurker [spec]ing.

I am pretty sure that Aiden setup Kamal. We heard that Aiden met with the Cop before Kamal come over. It was a setup forsure, hence Aiden was dissapointed when the Cop had to leave. It sounded like he wanted the guy to get caught. Also, Aiden wanted to know what time it was, cause his cop buddy was supposed to show up. This all in the act of revenge and probably more.

Maybe there is something in that 30 hours of tape Kamal gave to Sophia that Aiden didn't want anyone to hear.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but do you think that all of these new files are exactly 1 week after the first set?? I think in the one with Jan it mentioned giving her the PQI a week ago. That would be pretty cool if they are all 1 week later, as if there was some set shift in time that brought us these "voices" from the future.

At some point Kamal must reveal to Aiden how he got the cop to leave because in tack_hammer he is talking to Aiden about how he got his friend in trouble. (in the transcript Aiden is mislabeled as "gangster") So at that point does Aiden tell Kamal that he set him up to get even?
[SPEC]
At some point Jersey will try to contact Kamal, especially now that he has evidence that Aiden set him up. Maybe he will befriend him and convince him to help Jan deal with the stupid cop. That would bring the stories together nicely.
[/SPEC]
