Let's talk about the 'Special Projects' shipping pallets that arrived at Orion warehouse in 1984.

Three days before the September 9, 1989 fire at Orion Tower, an unmarked flatbed truck arrived at 03:00 and loaded all three unopened pallets back up.
In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort.

Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot?

They removed the hardware right before the fire was set. The fire was an insurance write-off and evidence disposal.

Every warehouse has 'Special Projects' pallets. Usually it's high-value promotional giveaways or point-of-sale displays that managers don't want stolen.
