>>>>>[Here's what I got on Agrigen's physical security. I've compiled
an extensive report on the physical aspects, and have also included
any information that I've deemed important. Agrigen Corporation
maintains two locations in Seattle, both are in the Bellevue
district: the Agrigen Coporate Tower and Agrigen Research Complex.
I've included summaries of my investigations pertaining to both
places as well as the actual security numbers.

The Agrigen Corporate Tower is located in downtwon Bellevue. This
fifty story building is where all of Agrigen's administrative and
business dealings take place. Very little research goes here, only
the 31st floor is designated as a research area. Every Agrigen
executive maintains an office at this building except for Samantha
Carter, the Head of Experimental Research (more to follow).

The Agrigen Rsearch Complex is also in Bellevue, but far away from
the crowded downtown. It is at ***Location*** and is 4.7 acres big;
it has ten stories and "officially" has four sublevels (more to
follow). This is where almost all of Agrigen's research and
experimentation occurs. There is currently 42 projects taking place
at ARC, but only three are worth taking notice of:

Project 32458: Development of Experimental Growth Hormones
Project 32556: Effects of Magic on Cloning
Project FELIX: (Topic Unknown)

This last project is extremely interesting. I found mention of the
project only three times during my very extensive search of Agrigen's
databanks. It is mentioned in the first quarter budget report of this
year very briefly. Basically after sorting through all the
bureacratic drek, it is granted unlimited funding to be determined by
Samantha Carter. There is no mention of Project FELIX in any update
report to the CEO, or any other budget report prior to the 1st
quarter 54 report. The second time I came across Project FELIX was in
the security rating summation file. This file lists all the projects
and who is cleared for them. This project has a AA rating. The
interesting thing is the Agrigen security scale only goes from A-J,
with A being the highest. At first I thought that this would be
questioned by other people the the corporation (i.e. "What the hell
is this project and why doesn't the head of finance know about it?").
Well, the security summation file is sent out to every executive, no
matter how insignificant, at the beginning of every week along with
summaries of projects that each executive is cleared for. This is
done via a program in Agrigen's system. Project FELIX because it has
a AA security rating is ignored by the system and not included. The
only people who know about this project is the CEO, Carter, and
whoever is working directly on it. The third time I came across
Project FELIX was pure luck. I ran a program of my own on Agrigen's
main databanks that extracts traces of erased files that are still
lingering and attempts to reconstruct the files. It is a very
complicated and laborous program, but in this case it helped. Of
course, there is only a chance (and a small one at that) of
recovering deleted filed within the first 48 hours of the file being
deleted. Anyway, the file contained an inventory request for
alpha-grade environmental protection suits. The important part of
this recover file is that the suits were to be delivered to sublevel
5. That's right level 5, when there's only supposed to be 4. It
appears that when Agrigen Corporation contracted to have this complex
built (by Armando Engineering Corporation), the agreement only
included 4 sublevels. This could be considered a typo, but there are
other indications that a fifth sublevel does exist and that not only
is there big time research going on, but that Agrigen's higher level
cold storage facilities are located down there. That's where all the
goodies are.

Security Report:

Agrigen Corporate Tower
-----------------------
Security Personnel (0600-1400): 80
(1400-2200): 80
(2200-0600): 55

Physical Security Measures: Cameras cover all areas, vibration alarms
on all windows, retina scanners on all executive and security level E
areas and above, laser alarm grids on key locations(*)
(*) Laser grids are activated at 2200 and deactivated at 0600
All alarms are linked to the nearest Lone Star station

Physical Protective/Sentry Resources: Modified Hughes Stallion
rotorcraft on 5 minute alert at all times (schematics included
below). Security personnel patrol every corridor and hall including
research areas and "public" areas. The only areas not patrolled are
individual offices. The security log indicates patrols are timed to
three mintue intervals. There are twenty guards patrolling
constantly, calling in to the central security office every time a
floor has been patrolled (approx. 1 minute between reports). Three
wage mages on the premises at all times (one astrally patrolling). No
paranormal or drones are used for security purposes.

***Include Agrigen Corporate Tower Blueprints***

Agrigen Research Complex
------------------------
Security Personnel (24 hours): 125

Physical Security Measures: All of the Tower's security measures,
heat monitors (measures changes in temperature i.e. body heat),
electronic impulse monitor (i.e. short range radio broadcasts,
low-light goggles, basically anything that is not effectively EMP
shielded), powerful microphones are also sporadically placed
throughout the more secure areas (indicated on blueprints)

Physical Protective/Sentry Resources: Modified Hughes Stallion (same
schematics as the Tower's), Six off-road motorcycles (modified), six
trained barghest that patrol the inner grounds between 2400 and 0400,
electrified reinforced seven meter fence (probably more akin to a
wall), three wage mages on the premises at all times (one astrally
patrolling), two armed dalmation drones on 2 minute alert at all
times.

***Include Agrigen Research Complex Blueprints***
***Include Vehicle Schematics***
***Include Standard Security Guard and Wage Mage Skill
Requirements***

There's my report. I've inlcude Agrigen's requirements to become a
security guard and wage mage. This also inlcudes standard equipment
loads. The wage mages seem skilled in banishing spirits and
elementals as well as the containment of toxic elements (of course,
Agrigen is a major chemical researcher). Keep me updated.]<<<<<
