Lucerne Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lucerne Tower is the fictional headquarters for the fictional company of dataDyne. It is set in the middle of Seattle, Washington's business district and rises 25 stories above the downtown streets. The tower also encompasses an underground laboratory complex composed of four sectors. The lab houses dataDyne's latest technological developments, including Dr. Carroll. Additionally, the tower includes a rooftop helipad, ideal for the quick arrival and departure of dataDyne officials, including Cassandra de Vries.
[edit] Joanna Dark's break-in
In dataDyne Central - Defection, Joanna Dark jumps, from a Carrington Institute jumpship, onto the rooftop helipad. From there, she gets into the upper offices and confronts Cassandra DeVries herself, whom Joanna knocks unconscious. After working her way down the Lucerne Tower, Joanna infiltrates the underground lab and rescues Dr. Carroll. Upon returning to the office levels, Cassandra awakens and summons a complete lockdown of the tower. Despite the countermeasures imposed by dataDyne, Joanna successfully escapes from the tower with Dr. Carroll at hand.
[edit] Destruction of the Lucerne Tower
In Mr. Blonde's Revenge, the evil disguised Skedar alien (Mr. Blonde) seeks revenge on Cassandra DeVries for her failures in the Skedar's deal with dataDyne. Mr. Blonde sets a bomb in the laboratory elevator, to ensure that no records, technologies, or personell of the tower will exist beyond his exit. Mr. Blonde then heads to Cassandra's office, where he confronts Anita Velez, and later Cassandra DeVries herself. The Skedar kills Velez and orders DeVries to leave with him. The two enter the ship and leave the helipad, with the entire Lucerne Tower destructing behind them.
