I don't think this works - I suggest that there are only specific
terminals that can be used for up/downloads (bandwith or connectivity
problems?), so when Kypris says that she has been watching Silk, it is
probably from cameras with no up/download capability.

I also don't buy into the Silk-Pig download through eye contact.
