The nondisclosure agreement Laney had signed was intended to cover any incidences of Slitscan using its connections with DatAmerica in ways that might be construed as violations of the law. Such incidences, in Laney’s experience, were frequent to the point of being constant, at least at certain advanced levels of research. Since DatAmerica had been Laney’s previous employer, he hadn’t found any of this particularly startling. DatAmerica was less a power than a territory; in many ways it was a law unto itself.
