At eight fourteen and thirty-one seconds AM, a previously unforeseen combination of airborne late twentieth century industrial particles combined with an undetected manufacturing defect in a solvent container will make a tiny corner of the Tyrnex shipping facility go up in a puff of gas. A puff of horribly toxic gas. Probably kill a couple Novalon employees and lung-burn a couple dozen more. They should have gone to work for me. The whole industry would lock down Tyrnex use while the investigation went on. Yeah, DNBX would grind to a halt. My stock would take a hit. But the White Consortium’s stock would plunge right into the composter. I win. I circle back towards my wing of the industrial park, filled with pleasant daydreams as I walk through the night. Shine up the records first.
