>>>>>[ Wow, Jake got me more than blueprints on the Magna building! He
found
copies of MagnaTech's corporate history. Well, here it is. MagnaTech was
originally called Hazeltine back in the late 20th century. Hazeltine was an
electronics company that was based in the Long Island/New York City area that
did a lot of work for the former US deptarment of defense. In the early 21st
century, Haleltine was bought out by a man named Peter Andreyovitch. Hazeltine
continued to do fairly well, until the treaty of denver. The end of the US,
and the beginning of the UCAS caused major cutbacks in the DoD, and hazeltine
had few contracts. IN the next few years, the company was forced to diversify
and merge/buy other smaller technology companies to survive. After a number of
mergers, the company finally changed it's name to MagnaTech. Magna changed
hands twice since then, and is currently being split between Dragon's Den and
Yoshida Tech (as we all know). There doesn't seem to be anything mysterious
in their history until 2047, when the company started doing extremely well
while just about every other technology/security firm was losing money or
only breaking even. This period of unexplainable growth is similar to the
suprising resistance Magna was able to put up against the Dragon's Den/Yoshida
takeover last year. Makes you wonder! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ You forgot to mention what I found in the blueprints! The plans
for
the sub-basement of the now destroyed MagnaTech main office show a stairway
going down, but don't show another level below that. Obviously, this stairway
leads down to someplace that the designers didn't want anyone to know about.
I'll wager that if you superimosed maps of the tunnels that run everywhere
under Manhattan you'll find that at least one of them goes under the Magna
building. Another interesting thing is that the sub-basement is constructed
like a bomb shelter! It probably survived the explosion without too much
structural damage. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hmm, I'll have to bust into Dragon's Den and see if I can find the
data
they collected with their sonic probes before Yoshida took them out. ]<<<<<
