Coincidence? A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09).

The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior.
The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.

Who disabled the halon system at 2:00 in the morning?

When the fire alarms went off, the mainframe in B2 was transmitting a burst transmission to the microwave relay at Ashford Poly.
