The Turner Networks main desk, with anchorman Chelsea Wong seated with aplomb
in front of the trideo cameras. Behind her is an eye-catching graphic of the
destroyed warehouse in La Paz, together with the Maxim corporate logo and
the universal radiation symbol. "...and rounding up our list of top stories
this hour, the worldwide Maxim crisis has now drawn to a close, following
intense negotiations with several national governments and Big Eight corporate
powers. La Paz, the most publicized of the sites subject to terrorist
attack last Friday, is being returned to Maxim by the Amazonian government,
in return for concessions including heavy cutbacks in Maxim research in the
region. The Amazonian government has apparently been satisfied that no further
ecological threat is posed by the site, and will help Maxim experts ensure the
containment of the residual nuclear material on site. The Maxim facilities in
Cairo and Phenom Penh have admitted much less media coverage, but the
information given by the area governments indicates that neither site poses any
threat. Maxim stock plumetted on the international changes, bottoming out at
its lowest level since the Warsaw incident. Meanwhile, several other
companies, notably Ares and Aztechnology, made strong gains on the strength of
transferred or discontinued Maxim contracts."
