*****Include News Release*****

This is Charlie Fingers, here in Denver at the Maxim Arms corporate head-
quarters in the Ute Sector city of Boulder, bringing you the news as honest
and undiluted as only Charlie Fingers can.

Earlier today, in a surprise announcement by the Corporate Court, Maxim Arms
and Aztechnology were ordered to recomponse each other for combat losses
in the recent Desert Wars campaign. The order also included a statement
saying that the Desert Wars decision would stand as a victory for Maxim Arms,
and that Maxim and Aztechnology would have to pay the respective values of
lost material and corporate resources.

Apparently related to the recent Desert Wars win, Maxim Arms today reported
a 10.3% increase in private security contracts serviced by Maxim Armament
Systems. This came as both Knight-Errant and Lone Star experienced a .6% and
.7% drop in contracts, respectively. The drops in K-E and LS contracts,
however, cannot be assumed to have all gone to Maxim Armament Systems in a
total transfer of contracts. Similarly, Maxim Armament Technologies, the
military goods subsidiary of Maxim Arms, also reported an increase in
government military orders worldwide.

Speaking through a translater, the President, CEO, and major stockholder in
Maxim Arms had this to say:

+++++Picture of a Anglo-Saxon looking dwarf, impeccibly dressed in a
conservative tailored charcoal suit with the Maxim Arms logo on one lapel+++++

"Today is a great day for Maxim Arms. Not only have we seen a raise in all
our publically traded stock values, but we have finally received the
recognition of the Corporate Court as a legitimate First-Tier megacorporation,
with all the responsibilities such a position brings..."

+++++Picture fades out as you realize that the reason he needed an interpreter
is his use of sign-language+++++

As Dr. Martin Hartly mentioned, since the defeat of Aztechnology several days
ago, Maxim Arms' stock has risen some 35.44 points, to 136.7, a 35% increase.
On news of the new Maxim contracts, stocks rose just today some 14.9 points
for the largest single day percentage gain in Maxim's history, a one-day
gain of 12.23% in total value.

I'll be back with you tomorrow at the same time, broadcasting in its
entiriety a Maxim Arms news release. Until next time, this is Charlie
Fingers, and you are watching.....
