ROCKETMAN'S SCOUTING REPORT. Well, folks, just returned from visiting the INFE office complex. It was a surreptitious scouting mission, with no warning. I knew the CEO would be out, so just wanted to scout out the surroundings while being unimpeded. The offices are at 2070 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 360, Tyson's Corner, VA. For those not familiar with the area, this is about 20 miles west of Washington DC, close to the beltway, and in GROUND ZERO of the booming Washington DC/Northern Virginia "Silicon Valley East." It is a high-rise neighborhood of hi-tech buildings, with names such as "SAIC," "Cable and Wireless," and "Phillips" on them. The 2070 Chain Bridge address is one of the most modern and futuristic-looking buildings there, 6 or so stories high, with a huge round circle several stories high worked into the architecture in front, reminding me of the Stargate circle in the movie. Huge multi-level parking structure in back. Parked the car, went in and noticed in the lobby a well-laid out list of companies, including Suite 360 which said "Infocall Communications Corporation," and "Advanced Compensation Services." Took the elevator to the 3rd floor and found their suite, with door locked as expected. The sign on the wall was temporary, with the same names as was on the lobby. That bothered me a little bit, until I remembered that they are subleasing and sharing their office with another company. I don't know who that company is, but I notice that the fixed shingle underneath said "TELOS Consulting Services" and "Comsys." This may or may not be significant, since I don't know if that was left over from the last tenants or if that is who they are sharing offices with. Other companies on the same floor include Grant Thornton Management (huge corner offices), DINA Incorporated, Ascent Logic, CIGNA Financial Advisors (huge offices) and GSCS (formerly Grid Govt Services). I inquired next door and was told that the office was subleased a few months ago, consistent with my other DD. I went to another office and got confirmation that the offices are subleased by INFE. Also that they had left earlier in the day for some business and a long weekend (something I already knew). Although I was not inside the office, I confirmed that their physical location is real and VERY attractive, centralized, and they sublease offices in the high rent district in a hot hi tech corridor, so they must be doing good business. Hope to give you an "inside the office" scouting report next week. <Rocketman, returning to the DGIV mothership> P.S. To INFE Inhabitants: We come in peace, and hold to what we own. You may remain here or sell, but what you sell we will keep. The fuel that we take back to our mother ship is not from selling your riches, but from accumulating and securing our positions. If we wanted to pump and dump we would not be looking for undervalued planets such as this. There are plenty of barren asteroids out there for us to play with. We do not play, we are serious.
