Dragon Connected with Bombing in Manhattan?

At approximately midnight last night, a large explosion all but
obliterated the Manhattan buisness office of MagnaTech Incorporated. There
were no civilian casualties reported, but several security guards were
injured in the blast. Metro Police Inc. and Gold Lion Security have not
released the identities or status of the injured guards. When asked for
his comment on the incident, Metro Police detective Bryce, head of the
investigation, refused to release any information until the site was
declared secure by Metro authorities.
One Martin Anders, who witnessed the explosion from his office across
the street descibed the incident as he saw it. Anders claims he heard
gunshots from the area of the grond floor entrance of the MagnaTech office
building. He went to his window it time to see the building suddenly
engulfed in a ball of flame. As the smoke cleared he saw that the building
had been leveled. He also claims that he also saw a large dragon circle
over the leveled building twice, then fly off to the west.
The description of the dragon given by Anders matches that of the
Great Dragon Tirandor, whose corporate headquarters are located in the
restored aircraft carrier Intrepid on the west shore of Manhattan. While
evidence suggests a connection between the dragon and the explosion,
Tirandor was unavailable for comment.

>>>>>>[ Seems like someone did a job on MagnaTech and didn't want to
leave any
evidence behind. Destroying the building was a little extreme, and
very amatuerish. ]<<<<<<<

>>>>>>[ To say the least!!!! Well, I guess I'll have to wait before I
can
check out MagnaTech's ES research files. I wouldn't want to be
inadvertantly connected with a job that crude! Hell, those files
might not even exist anymore (especially if the Magna R&D centers
use the mainframe that used to be in the office building). I hate
it when someone's sloppy job gets in the way. ]<<<<<<<
---Dark Elf <I hate when that Happens>

>>>>>>[ We will find out who you are my elven friend, I doubt that it's
a
coincidence that this savage attack came so soon after you expressed
interest in our ES research. We know you had something to do with it,
and you will be punished ]<<<<<

you
wouldn't have figured out that anything was wrong for another two
weeks, I'm getting sick of you!! ]<<<<<<

once he
gets his new deck. I might have to do some creative decking and get
him framed for something nasty so I won't have to put up with him
for 5-10annos ]<<<<<<<<
