In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort. 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. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- Tobias Lindqvist | tlindqvist@purdue.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 2F2A 2C41 A6D9 2A3E "Keep the channels open."
