- ―Jenny Kord to Jaime Reyes[src]
The Kord Tower is the headquarters of Kord Industries, located in the business heart in Palmera City, Texas. Along with the LexCorp Tower, the building is the tallest in the city.
History[]
Theft of Khaji-Da[]
Jenny Kord, seeking to prevent Victoria from weaponizing the Scarab, infiltrated Kord Tower to steal the scarab, giving it to Jaime Reyes. It was within the tower’s secure research lab that the Scarab escaped containment and later bonded with Jaime, selecting him as its host. This event, later referred to in internal security records as the “Scarab Breach”, triggered a series of violent encounters throughout the building, including rooftop chases, laboratory destruction, and the first combat deployment of Ignacio Carapax in the OMAC Armor.[1]
Rescue of Jenny Kord[]
After discreetly stealing the beetle and delivering it to Jaime Reyes, Jenny Kord was discovered, so she contacted Reyes to pick her up in the Kord Tower, without notifying the irrigation situation. Reyes drove toward the facility, distracted by an unbearable itch, when he suddenly spotted Jenny Kord hiding between parked vehicles. Confused but concerned, he called out to her, only to watch as she jumped into the car, frantically urging him to drive. Startled by the gunfire erupting nearby from pursuing soldiers, Reyes sped off, all while anxiously dreading how badly Rudy would scold him for the inevitable damage to the car.[1]
