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. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Ines Eriksson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
