Subject: The Secret Man of MagnaTech is?

>>>>>[ Hi, chummers. While I sit around recovering from my close encounter
with
death incarnate I've taken some time to distill my investigation of MagnaTech's
secret shareholder.
It took me well over 2 weeks to get some sorta connection between the
proxy voter and anybody of signifigance. I was checking his college records
when I saw a name that rang lots of mental bells. It seemed that he used to
room with a Wendel Trevor, Jr. I couldn't remember why that set me off so I set
up a general data scan and let it run for a while. It turned up Lt. General
Wendel Trevor UCAS Army. Sound interesting? Then read on.
I started doing some research on General Trevor and found many little
facts than when looked at along mean nothing, but when added up spelled major
league corruption. It seems to be that back around 2042 when Trevor's son and
his friend graduated, the general had just been put in charge of various
procurement jobs the Army needed. The two young men began working for a little
investment company. Their job was to buy and sell stock for individuals who
don't what there names mentioned. The two began to do quite well in the
company and then suddenly in 2044 Wendel Jr. moved to a more reputable firm. I
was able to obtain a memo from the Army solictor's files that the General had
come under investigation in a possible corruption charge. I guess they didn't
like the idea of his son working for a more or less criminal front.
Well, everything cooled down until 2046 when Roger Quention (gee, did I
forget to mention his name earlier?) went solo. He stoled a bunch of the
companies clients and began to buy, sell, and control stock like it was a game.
He became a member of the MagnaTech board in 2047, just a few months after the
company underbid many larger corporations for major government contracts.
This doesn't seem relevent until you go look back at many of MagnaTech's
government contracts. A good number of them were handeled by General Trevor's
office! General Trevor's income tax papers starting in 2048 also include a
marked increase in earnings from dividends.
This leaves you suspect but two more facts prove beyond a shadow of a
doubt that General Trevor is the Secret Man of MagnaTech. The first if the fact
that Roger Quention now holds 5% of Yoshida Tech. The second is the fact that
Yoshida picked up a nice government contract just a week after obtaining
MagnaTech, a job MagnaTech was in the running for and that Trevor's office is
incharge of.
So, who wants to bet that the UCAS Army had something to do with how
MagnaTech was able to take its computer offline without flopping? My pet theory
is that they borrowed some government equipment to route thing onto the Matrix.
Now I didn't see any Yakuza influence, but only God knows who Roger Quention is
in bed with besides Trevor. ]<<<<<
