If a project alone is worth 51 million nuyen, it will have a projected worth
of @** times that in the long run. So it's actual worth would be around 510
million nuyen. Which is definitely worth 50 million nuyen in security
measures. Sure the area itself is only worth maybe 51 million, but in the
long run it'll be worth much more.

Still kinda ugly around the edges, but I don't know how to make it less so.
It's times like these I wish I knew another language well enough to type
messages in...
