Hammer Valley Hydro: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

Hartman was hesitant to do so sell to Walter, however, aware that his two most prominent previous acquisitions, [[Stalburg Steel]] and the [[Bergmann Group]], had gone bankrupt not long after being bought out. The chain of events that followed led to incredibly unsafe living conditions and, supposedly, the death of Hartman's wife and only child. Following this tragedy, Hartman became incredibly unstable and paranoid, ordering the control room at Hammer Valley Dam to be remotely locked and directing security to inspect workers' lunchboxes. Six months after being bought out by Walter Corporation, on June 14th, 1982, Hammer Valley Hydro filed for bankruptcy. This resulted in increased unemployment and raised concerns among city officials over the future of the city's energy production. Hartman developed a deep hatred for Jeff Walter, holding him personally responsible for everything that had happened.

Unbeknownst to Hartman, however, the Walter Corporation was secretly under the management of [[S.N.W.]], who had intentionally mismanaged the company and used it to buy out and bankrupt the major players in the city's industrial and infrastructure sectors in order to protect its interests. Hammer Valley Hydro was purchased in order to break its connections to the Bergmann Group, while that firm was purchased due to its dominant involvement in the city's subterranean infrastructure, which put the existence of the [[Bunker | S.N.W. bunker]] underneath the Walter Tower at risk of ~~discovery~~. S.N.W. would take advantage of Walter's ownership of Hammer Valley Hydro to install a secret uplink to provide power to the bunker while it was still operational, but this would fall into disrepair along with the rest of the dam after closure of the bunker. Over time, the dam would flood as a result of neglect, and a major crack would form in its downstream face.

After the firm's bankruptcy and the abandonment of the Hammer Valley Dam, Hartman would occasionally be seen entering the facility by employees at the nearby sawmill. He used his old offices there as a temporary base of operations while he gathered information that he believed pointed to Jeff Walter's complicity in recent events but later relocated to a small office in Stalburg's sewer system, thus leaving the dam completely abandoned.
