Message no. 1 *****PRIVATE: Maxim Internal Security Log
>>>>>[

Ma'am, we've just received a disturbing report from New York. It appears
that one of our Wyvern's decided to malfunction over the city and began a
dive into a populated area. Luckily, the pilot was able to initiate the
self-destruct prior to impact and groud casualties were limited to
approximately 15 injuries, 4 severe, and one fatality, all from falling
debris. The pilot is in the hospital as well as he parachuted onto a
steel fence. We have a team there as of five minutes ago, and they are
searching for the flight recorder. It is designed to survive
self-destruct with minimal.....

Excuse me, ma'am, but I have a report coming in as we speak.

"Put it on, John."

"......we're having trouble with the local police who have cordoned off
the area. They are refusing to allow us to search the wreckage until the
City government has cleared it."

"Excuse me, John, I have a phone call to make."

+++++Several minutes of silence+++++

"They should be allowed in to the area within 5 minutes, John, so long as
they agree to remove nothing but the flight recorder."

Of course, ma'am.

"The obvious cause of this is S-I. Where was that fighter based out of?"

It appears to have been a trial loan to the UCAS military, based out of
Philidelphia, on a training flight to Maine and back.

"UCAS Military? Do you have a sattelite photo of that base that's recent?"

Let me see..... It's coming up on your computer now, along with an
analysis of sillouettes.

Most of the analysis shows various corporate fighters. But S-I doesn't
do the hard core vehicles. It is possible, although I suspect unlikely,
that they have begun recent sales to the UCAS Navy. Our most recent
intelligence on them indicates that their sales in this area are minimal,
but expanding.

"I see a few names that would love to see us taken down a few notches.
Ares fighters mostly. I recommend starting with them."

Yes ma'am. What would you like me to do in the event that they appear to
be the cause? This is, of course, assuming that we find it was a forced
failure rather than a true accident or pilot error.

"Nothing. Contact me. We might be able to use our silence to our
advantage."]<<<<<

"For today's business report we go to Joseph Barrons," says the beautiful
anchor woman.

"Thank you Lucy," replies a portly man wearing an Armani suit, "Vathor
Armaments and Security has started an advertisement campaign in order to
garner a larger share of the security system market, mainly at the expense of
both Maxim Arms and Sheppard-Intrepid Industries. The major targets of this
campaign seemingly are customers of Maxim Arms and Sheppard-Intrepid
Industries. Let's take a look."

The picture shows a collage of news headlines and newscasts of the bombing of
Maxim Warehouses. The voice-over begins speaking, "Our competition cannot
prevent their warehouses from being attacked by terrorists, nor can they
prevent their stored ammunition for exploding in such an attack. Since this
is the case, how can you depend on their ammunition from going off BEFORE you
need it to? Come to Vathor Armaments and Security, we guarantee that our
ammunition will only go off when you want it to." Thje commercial ends with
personnel carrying ammunition boxes labelled with Vathor Armaments and
Security, with a subtitle of A subsidiary of Vathor Technologies.

Joseph Barrons returns, "This was the first advertisement, as you can see it
is aimed at Maxim Arms, without saying as much. Now for the second
commercial."

The picture shows a collage of headlines and newscasts of the failures of
Sheppard-Intrepid's targeting system. The voice-over states, "Our
competition's targeting systems are laced with bugs, and can be easily
tampered with. Our competition even fails to give proper training on the use
of their targeting systems. Come to Vathor Armaments and Security, we
guarantee our targeting systems will work properly or you get a full refund.
We, also, provide free maintenance, installation, and training." The
commercial ends with Vathor Armaments and Security personnel installing a
piece of equipment and giving an explanation of its workings. The picture is
subtitled Vathor Armaments and Security is a subsidiary of Vathor
Technologies.

"This commercial is aimed at Sheppard-Intrepid customers with all the
headlines and news clips about the weapons' targeting malfunctions. Now for
the third commercial."

The picture shows the headlines and news clips from New York about the crash
of Maxim's Wyvern. The voice-over comments, "Our competition cannot make
reliable equipment, we here at Vathor Armaments and Security guarantee the
reliablity of our equipment. Come to us, we are here to serve you." Once
again the commercial is subtitled Vathor Armaments and Security is a
subsidiary of Vathor Technologies.

Joseph Barrons comments, "This commercial is aimed at Maxim Arms customers.
We alos have uncomfirmed reports that Ulf Reinhardt, President of Vathor
Armaments and Security, has been meeting with several Maxim and
Sheppard-Intrepid customers. As to what these meetings entail we cannot
report. This has been Joseph Barrons for the KTAN Business Report."
