"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."
