I am still dumbfounded as why these people in LakeShore knowing full well what the purpose was of the buildings are playing stupid. Is Baine really this much of a moron or has he been paid off to put the screws to our facility? The place is not NewYork where one could probably dig a hole to China and not be noticed. Surely they must have seen our buildings being constructed.
