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.
The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes.

Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension.

Those pallets contained the prototype neural processors running Stardust Unit-7 before they migrated the system to the mainframe in room B2-114.

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