Chapter 7/7: Three-Sided Game
Around the same time
Henry Marsson was sitting in the office formerly belonging to Jonathan Bovier, not that it has been the first time he stayed alone in it.
“You called?” a young woman stood in the door frame, leaning against it.
“Close the door.” he ordered “I know that you are relatively close to the Bovier siblings.”
The woman glared at him, leaving little room for a readable expression.
Henry sighed “Sit down, you know that we both work for the same cause.”
She followed order, but remained silent while sitting at the desk.
“N16 of the Crinale Special Infiltration Group.” he uttered to gain her attention.
“My name is Madison Larough. And you should not address me by anything else.” she replied in a sharp, but calm tone. The exact reaction Henry expected.
The man sitting in front of her shook his head “Given the affiliation you built up with the Boviers, you’ll be given a special task.”
“A lot of ‘loyalist’ employees are currently being released. But knowing Jonathan for some years now, I don’t think he will just give up.” he began to explain “They’ll likely contact the people we currently shaft. That’s where you come into play.”
“I am supposed to contact the remnant faction and infiltrate it.” Madison concluded “Single mission, or support?”
“For now single.” Henry answered “Depending on what you come up with. But support is likely required here first.”
Madison was dismissed by Henry. She walked out of his office, letting her shoulders hang an at the verge of crying. Afterall, she just got fired for reasons unknown.

The Jennter Succession Conflict
Chapter 8/8: Back to the Roots II
4th November 2209
New/Old Jennter Enterprises HQ, Düsseldorf, Germany
09:43.21
As organised by Jennter employee Daniel Fersen, groups of people have been transferred from Copenhagen to Düsseldorf. He eventually got fired himself against all legal obligations, but remained in Copenhagen as a contact for employees. Notably a lot of people eventually dropped their employment individually, in order to join what they deemed to be ‘the real Jennter’. But despite this the ‘Marsson faction’ remained the strongest entity, both in manpower and legal recognition.
With Madison dispatched to infiltrate the loyalist group, Henry didn’t worry about this attempt to oppose his new rule. He had entirely different plans for the company to begin with.
“Mister Bovier, look!” one of the employees shouted through the main hall, as someone else raised the volume of the speakers, giving through the audio of a news channel.
“Jennter Enterprises announce cooperation plans with Crinale Technologies. According to newly named company President Henry Marsson they ‘seek a thriving partner to disclose new technologies and market opportunities.’
Given the reputation of Crinale Technologies, the stock price of Jennter dropped on a ten year low within minutes of this announcement.”
Fractions of seconds later a screwdriver pierced into the highly mounted screen, followed by an “That damned bastard!” angrily filling the hall.
Nico had to hold Jonathan back from throwing any more objects at what merely has been an image of Henry on an ancient television flat screen.
“Calm damn, dammit.” Nico shouted at him “Jennter needs a strong leader right now.”
Jonathan glared at him, then looked back at the screen “He used to be my friend…”
“We fell for him.” Nico said “But it shows just how bad Crinale is.”
Jonathan returned to look at Nico “Crinale? How do you get that idea?”
“Don’t you think it is suspicious? Henry is certainly not so stupid to just outright announce a cooperation with a shady company like that.” he explained “I bet he is somehow affiliated with them.”
“His face.” Jonathan sighed “On that day. It was fully of joy.”
“It is hard to see on the available recordings.” Nico admitted “But anyway, he is our enemy now.”
Jonathan laid the object he grabbed back onto the front desk.
“Sorry everyone, I will clean that up.” he announced to the people surrounding the pair.
They returned to getting the headquarters ready for use, it was a considerable plan to entirely abandon the Copenhagen site in favour of the new-old building.
In fact the Düsseldorf base used to have much better facilities, if they only were maintained through the past years.
Beside the main building, which includes the engineering offices, the financial and organisational departments, as well as all staff offices, there has been a large production site right next to the west, responsible for AG craft, especially the racing vehicles.
To the north a large, open space could be found. It lead up to a runway and hangar section even further northwest. The site also has seen occasional use as a testing area for AG craft and cars. Even further north the corresponding car production halls were to be found, though these have been inactive even longer than the base itself and hosted regular tours until the shutdown of the whole complex.
To the east of the main hall another research complex could be found, which only allowed limited access and hasn’t been opened again so far.
