Quinn Towers

''Thrusting up into the sky Quinn Tower is an impressive edifice. Nearly two hundred feet wide at the base it reaches over six hundred feet in height, making it the second highest building in the Downtown area. Rather than a simple block of concrete the tower is constructed of bright glass with a more organic feel to it. From the base one side tapers in until the building is perhaps a third its width, then the building flairs back out near the top in both directions, cantilevering part of its structure slightly over a park far below. ''

''Although it is nearly as tall as the nearby Corporate Tower it tops out at ten floors less due to a slightly greater height of each floor as well as the soaring thirty foot height of the ground floor. Employees for Quinn Industries as well as the other businesses which rent space on some of the lower floors stream in and out of the six double doors that line the curved front face of the building twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. ''

''The elevators are controlled by keycards and only allow general access to the first eight floors as well as the thirty eighth floor. The thirty eighth floor being a restaurant with an impressive view of Colonial bay is open to the public and the eighth floor opens out to the lobby of Quinn Industries which occupies fifteen floors of the building. The six floors below that house the offices of various companies that have rented space within the building. ''

Carl Cumberbottom is a Hive employee. You can tell by the yellow sclera of his eyes. As he exits the elevator on his way to his latest assignment, he looks neither left of right. He's a man very sure where he is going in life.

Target aquired, Bard kicks off the wall. "Hey, can I bother you for a second?" Bard asks. While he can tend to be jsut a handsome face, there is, when he wants there to be, an overwhelming aura of importance about Bard.

Carl pauses, "Yes? May I help you?"

"Yeah, I was asked to look into an incident involving your company's employee and a believed telepath." Bard states. "So I was wondering if I might be able to get my hands on some documents. Not permanently, just enough to be fully aware of what you guys know about this thing."

Carl frowns, uncertain what the impressive man is asking. "I'm sorry, what do you need? I'm not aware of any telepaths at Hartford Insurance."

Bard says, "You and I are both aware we're not talking about Hathford Insurance. Your OTHER company."

Carl backs away slowly from the crazy person. "Um, sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know any telepaths at all. Where does the person you are looking for live?"

Sighing, Bard states. "You work for the hive corporation, yes?" Bard says with a look that could cause chills.

Carl says "Yes?" Uncertain which answer will get him hurt.

"Okay, now, I know that you have a group over in Africa. I've been entrusted to help in the matter of your local leader having potentially had her thoughts taken from her unwillingly. Are we clear?" Bard states.

Carl says, "I don't know anybody in Africa. I've never been outside of Virginia."

"That makes two of us. I just need to talk to your boss. I'm nothing more than a civilian consultant on this matter." Bard states.

Carl looks a bit relieved and gestures toward the elevator. "If you mean Hive Inc, the office is on the second floor. I'm sure the receptionist would be glad to make an appointment."

"Thanks, that's what I needed to know." Bard nods, smiles and moves to the elevator.
