Jason is not very helpful. What was he doing? Out running, came back, saw the fire. What was destroyed? His computer, files, and research.

Who probably did it? James Ritchie! His rival in Aviation Design. Apparently James is also someone with a checkered past. Iiiiinteresting. Where is this James Ritchie? He has several offices, who knows which one he is at.

So on to the lab!
