Now it’s time to go to the east wing of the Georgia World Congress Center. This is where two of the biggest companies, Magitek Corporation and Sakaguchi Automations, have their exhibits on display. There are a few other companies as well, like Seftali and Get N Go partnering up for some new cellular phone program that has a ton of banners around the place, but there’s two big dogs in town, and the rest is a bit overshadowed.

In past years for the Atlanta Annual Tech Expo, this would be right where Nathan Nguyen would have his place. I never actually knew what he did, but he used to always set up a small booth with a table and some chairs and just sit there, waiting for people to pitch him ideas. If he liked the idea, he’d work up an investment deal with you. It was crazy and weird. Now, though, the guy is busy running for mayor while making millions every single day with his auto-conbinis, so I guess he had to ascend past his quirkiness someday. So now, for the most part, it’s just the two big companies.

I do see something interesting down near the center. There’s a number of robots standing up on display on platforms, a whole row of them stretching down the length of one wall. That seems kind of interesting.

So I guess I can check that out, or go see Karina at the Sakaguchi section, or, with all the willpower I can muster, go see what Magitek has in store. Only one of these three makes me want to punch something just thinking about it, so it can’t be all bad.

Unless I found out what the Ascendants are, that is. Then it will all be bad.
