DeCurtis walks off, O'Brien stops smiling and gets back to work.
O'Brien: (Log Entry) There were several traps laid into the computer subroutine, no doubt to let someone know if I'd penetrated the security lockout. I wasn't fooled for a minute and released the protected files without any problem.

O'Brien: (log entry) What I found in those hidden logs didn't answer all of my questions, but it sure as hell confirmed everything I'd been afraid of. They were analyzing and re-analyzing everything I had put into my report about Paradan Security. They'd even broken into my personal logs to see what they could find in there.

Maybe they were afraid I'd get into their files even with the security lockout. Smart People.
