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.
