So what ever happened to the guy on the last page who was charged with 2nd degree criminal trespass? And I’d be really careful about how you’re getting in there. Right next door is the noco refinery and trespassing there probably qualifies as terrorism. 😉 ---

Like a vicious poison it seeps through the walls and over the past century bit deeply into every metal surface. We stood above an 8 story drop supported on a pestilence riddled skeleton of steel.
