Chicago (Associated Press): Tragedy struck yesterday morning at the offices
of Jenks Microtechnologies Inc., when a security system malfuntioned, and
opened fire on several employees as they arrived at work. At least twenty
people are dead, and several more are wounded.

After canceling their contract with Dark Security in August over a breach
of office security, Jenks Microtechnologies hired Knight Errant Security to
do the job. The new security measures included a pair of Ares Arms Sentry(tm)
weapons, robot weapons equipped with sophisticated computers and sensors,
designed to operate without human assistance. So far as investigators can
determine, these systems apparently malfunctioned, causing the computers to
mistakenly believe that the arriving employees posed a threat to the offices.

Ares stock, already taking a beating from its troubles with Maxim Arms, fell
several points today. Sales of the new Sentry(tm) weapons have plummeted. No
Ares representatives were available for comment.

Cool, huh? I always love it when the corporate slime shoot themselves in
the foot, so to speak. And, like magnesium in the wound, Ares AND Knight
Errant are being sued by Jenks, who is in turn being sued by relatives
of the toesuckers who were geeked. The only down side to this whole thing
is that a couple hundred fat lawyers are getting richer off the deal.
But I'm sure a couple of industrious deckers could take care of that...
