Great Lakes Transportation

## Great Lakes Transportation Services Inc

* **Location:**1535 Marshall Ave # 2, St Paul , MN 55104
* **Rating:**B (regional)
* **CEO:**Marc Garoy
* **Status:**A publicly-traded company, with majority shares held by Gavilan Ventures (an Ares  subsidiary), General Motors (also Ares), Artemis Enterprises (a former Cross  company) and Bouygues Construction (Saeder-Krupp ), with a majority of shares in the hands of Ares-controlled interests, although not uncontested.
* **Business:**Primarily a construction and roadwork firm for Ares Motors owned-and-operated roads, they service Ares' contract with the UCAS  State of Michigan, as well as having contracts with numerous contracts with Wisconsin Counties as well as outlying markets as far afield as Wahpeton in the RRDMZ . GLT also maintains shipping docks along Lake Superior in ports like Duluth MN and Gaa-ministigweyee in the Niswi-mishkodewinan.
* **Partnerships:**Due to the business climate they operate in and their ownership, GLT works very closely with a number of other Ares-owned and -aligned firms in similar industries. One of the most prominent of these partnerships is with Ares' own Knight Errant Security, which provides security services to all GLT maintained roads and properties. GLT also works with a number of Great Lakes-based shipping lines such as Ares-America Steamship Company and Longhouse Freight out of Niswi-mishkodewinan. While several attempts to regularize standards with rival transit providers such as the Twin Cities Transit Authority and North Central Roads  have been attempted over the years, business considerations have always gotten in the way of closer cooperation.
* **History:** Originally formed from a number of different construction and infrastructure firms that were acquired by Harris-4M, to become part of Transit Solutions, a division that included several other transportation companies including the TCTA. When Evo merged with Harris-4M to create Evo-4M, it acquired the TCTA but was allowed the rural assets of Transit Solutions to split off into their own enterprises, the companies formed from this decision included the GLT and North Central Roads. GLT responded by going public and using this to form ties with the major business influencers in its marketplace.

Boatmen

## Cabal of Charon's Coven "The Boatmen"

* **Home Base:** Hang out in and beneath Elmwood Cemetery, 88 Hespeler Ave, Winnipeg, Region 1, RRDMZ R2L 0L3, on the east bank of the River, although they also do a lot of business around the "Yes, you Can-ada!" liquor store (store #163) on the west bank.
* **Leadership:** Draconia Nightstar, a Riverwalker (and possible Diodati) and goth queen bee known for being kicked out of some of the most obscure clubs in Region 1.
* **Membership:** Around a dozen young Riverlings in their teens and early-20's, depending on drama, all effecting a goth sensibility.

With government shamans running official ferries across the Red and less-angry-but-still-kind-of-haunted Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg, there's less call for DIY "Riverwalkers" then in the other Regions of the Red River Disputed Military Zone. However, what there is call for is help in crossing the River for people who have a vested interest in not interacting with official government mages.

The "Boatmen" as their called by locals (because absolutely nobody uses their own name for themselves "the Cabal of Charon's Coven") are a goth-themed crew of Riverlings formed around the prodigy Riverwalker and possible Awakened (OK, by "Awakened" we mean she claims to be a witch of the Diodati "tradition"), 'Draconia Nightstar' (Jennifer MacKenzie from Wellington Crescent) who started the 'Cabal' after having an 'incident' while getting into character down by the River for her role as Eurydice in Kelvin High School's production of 'Hadestown' and gathering a small group (originally intended to be a band, but the project never came together) of other gothy riverlings around her.

Other then being a somewhat-reliable way to get across the River on the DL, the other thing that the Boatmen are known for is their drama, no, their **DRAMA**, getting into more beefs with other Riverling crews than any other crew in Region 1. It is also why the membership is as variable as it is, with members walking off, being exiled and/or taken back into Draconia's good graces quickly and unpredictably, in true Riverling fashion with slights made quickly and forgotten quickly.

Alexandria Accords

## The Alexandria Accords

   The Alexandria Accords are the set of documents coming out of the talks in Alexandria MN, UCAS, that ended the Red River Crisis of 2064/Third Ghost Dance War and established the Red River Disputed Military Zone.

The Accords were signed at 10:00am (CST) November 27, 2064 at the Douglas County Courthouse in Alexandria by Mariah Screaming Bird representing the Seven Council Fires of the Oceti Sakowin and Maj.Gen. Roland Reyes for the president pro-tem of the United Canadian and American States.

The Accords are composed of Ten Sections, each detailing a specific area of the agreement.

* **Section One**, establishes the basics of the Accords, including the inclusion of what remains of the UCAS state of North Dakota into the Upper Yankton Council Fire of the Oceti Sakowin, and the establishment of the Red River Disputed Military Zone as a buffer between the two nations, as well as outlining the status, powers and responsibilities of the two Governors.
* **Section Two,**specifies the rights and responsibilities of the signing nations' militaries, including military bases in or bordering the RRDMZ (such as those at Maitomoni'ohe and Grand Forks) and the establishment of the Red River Joint Enforcement Group. Contains the infamous **Paragraph 13,** which lays out the circumstances under which the signees might intervene militarily in the internal affairs of the Zone, including invasion, magical catastrophe, the other side blatantly violating the Accords, etc.
* **Section Five,**details cultural and customary allowances agreed upon. This includes a guarantee of freedom of religion within the Zone and the preservation of places of cultural, religious and magical significance for both sides.

In addition to the ten major Sections it also includes seventeen appendices added after the signing to clear up matters not addressed in the main body of the text.

* **Appendix Four,**ensures all extraterriorial corporations their rights of extraterritoriality as guaranteed by the UCAS as a signer of the Business Recognition Accords.
* **Appendix Five,** Protects business interests from nationalization by either signing nation. Also sets up a Zone Financial Insurance Agency funded by both nations to guarantee the assets of financial institutions based out of the RRDMZ.

Hotspots

It came as a bit of a surprise to me, coming from the Twin Cities, but there's actually a fair number of little hot spots here for a 'burg this size. To be frank, if there's something Fargo likes to do, its drink. Who knew? I suppose there's not a lot else to do around here.

But seriously, these gathering spots represent the moving centers of the various communities that make up this... well, the thing about Fargo is, even more than my home in the Twin Cities is that its less a city and more a series of small towns that happen to hang out together. And 'hanging out together' really is central the to whole ethos out here ('ethos', Christ. Again with the being too smart for my own good). These places aren't just places, they're centers of communities, whether bars or lodges or churches or just the place where you and your nerdy friends buy the materials for your favorite hobby. People out here have been through a lot and its taught them the value of sticking together. Its the root of the Pub Culture that's so important around here.

Although to be fair, a lot of them ARE bars. Seriously, these Fargoans can stick it away...

Knick Knack Club

* **Location:** 190 Garry St, Winnipeg, Region 1, RRDMZ R3C 1G6
* **Description:** Quirky little neighborhood nightclub, catering largely to ork and troll clientele
* **P2 Rating:** 9:11:45

Starting as a pop-up night club that occurred about a dozen times in 2072-73, has been operating in its current location since 2074. The Knick Knack Club's gimmick is that patrons bring in interesting found objects and the club puts them up. When it was a pop-up club, these provided a running history of the club's travels. Even now, though, it gives the patrons a sense of investment, bringing in any weird thing they found, and the club still makes a big deal of putting it up on the wall, ringing a bell or air raid siren and cheering. Its part of its charm.

For various, almost entirely unrelated to its original concept, the Knick Knack has become a haven for the local *Ōku-Bara* scene, that is to say, a specific subscene which is composed of Goblinized male -presenting and -preferring, with a specific aesthetic of muscle, body hair and size, often leaning towards the butch aesthetic. Nobody knows how the Knick Knack became a hub of *Ōku-Bara* in Winnipeg, but it has become one of the locations where that scene can be found. Not everyone at the Knick Knack is *Ōku-Bara*, of course, but the scene means that the majority of people who are comfortable going there are Goblinized.

There's also the usual small nightclub vices in attendance, drugs, chips, sex workers etc. But then, isn't there always? Word around the campfire is that while technically this is within the turf of the PAK (Portage Avenue Killerz) crew of the 1323, it's small enough to left to its own devices and a lot of operators working the Knick Knack are independents.

Blue Thunder Security

## Blue Thunder Security Company

* **Rating:**D (local)
* **Headquarters:**441 Wadsworth Blvd suite 213, Lakewood, Pueblo  Sector, Front Range Free Zone  80226
* **President:**Lucy Tenaya
* **Business Type:**Security Infrastructure and Consultant Firm, specializing in problems of cross-Zone jurisdictions in the greater Denver area and navigating the Zone Security's complicated overlapping security coverage.

A small, but lucrative enough, security consulting firm formed in 2068 by former Ute Army officer Lucy Tenaya, Blue Thunder specializes in navigating the security and enforcement complexity of the FRFZ for outside business interests. While known in certain mid-range corporate circles, Blue Thunder kept a fairly low profile until, early last year, they hired on retiring UCAS  Brigadier General 'Iron' Jack McClintock , former UCAS governor of the Red River Disputed Military Zone , as a senior consultant.

Junkyard Brewing

## Junkyard Brewing Company

* **Location:**1416 1st Ave N, Moorhead , MN 56560
* **Style:**Garage chic
* **Gang:**Junkyard Dogz
* **Description:**Moorhead's quintessential neighborhood bar and brewery.

Moorhead's first brewery founded, a response to the early breweries  being founded on the other side of the River  in Fargo , Junkyard Brewing gets its name from the founders, the Juhnke brothers.

A friendly and open place (especially in the summer when the garage doors are left open and the sidewalk becomes part of the bar), Junkyard has a long tradition of involvement in the community around them, forging partnerships with other local restaurants, bars and animal shelters (Junkyard has always been pretty pet-friendly), throwing public events and hosting local music. It is a bit of a nexus between the lifelong Moorhead locals and the college crowds, one drawn by its community involvement, the other by its out-there and experimental beers.

Also, and not unrelated, its also pretty much the center of the black market on the UCAS side of the river. As an open place to meet and greet, and famous for its lack of a Matrix presence and thus, lack of surveillance, it would be a great place to do under-the-table business even if the current proprietors weren't actively involved in it.

Which, ya know, they are.

Side note, like the Lake Devils, besides being deep into their own rackets, the Junkyard boys also make a hell of a beer, always pushing the envelope and doing strange and wonderful things with their new brews. Rumor has it that is not inconsequential to why Knight Errant turns a blind eye to their activities...

De Naira Family

## The De Naira Family

A powerful business, cultural and political dynasty operating in the upper levels of Metrópole , the largest city in the world. The De Naira Family has been around since before records were being kept. In fact, some whisper, nobody has been able to find any records of their immigration to the New World, although they are obviously of European descent.

What is known is that the De Naira family has enormous wealth and the power that buys. Most of their numerous holdings are gathered under the umbrella of the IOPOS Group , a single-A holding company with stock held solely within the Family.

Not just rich, although they are that, the De Naira's are celebrities in the worlds of the media, sports and politics, holding vast power in the court of public opinion to match their political clout and raw resources.

Notable De Nairas

* **Ramon De Naira** , the patriarch of the De Naira family, a member of the Metrópole Council, Chairman of the IOPOS Group Board of Trustees.
* **Sofia Carvalho De Naira** , a famous actress, documentarian, director and writer, Ramon's second wife.
* **Adriana De Rastas** , oldest daughter of Ramon and his late first wife, Constancta. A successful lawyer and the President of the IOPOS Group.
* **Carlo De Rastas**, a distant cousin of the De Naira's, husband of Adriana, a patron of the arts.
* **Miciela De Naira** "Anjo Mici", second daughter of Ramon and Constancta. A powerful mage, healer and philanthropist, beloved by the common people.
* **Juliana De Naira** , third daughter of Ramon and Constancta, a celebrated and award-winning computer scientist, chief of research at Detentores de Confiança.
* **Paolo De Naira** "O Podor", son of Ramon and Sofia. A star of the Amazonian  National Football Team and a noted playboy.
* **Felix De Naira** , younger brother of Ramon. Serves as President of UHL Farmacêuticos.
* **Antônia Nairasta** , Felix's ex-wife, a distant cousin of the family, still holds stock in the company.
* **Ana De Naira** , daughter of Felix and Tônia, a decorated military hero of the war against Aztlan .

Azog Kortgaard

## Captain Azog Kortgaard

* **Name:**Azog Uruk Henrik Kortgaard
* **Position:**Captain of the Knight Errant  division in the Minneapolis-St.Paul Metroplex .
* **Metatype:**Ork  (*Homo sapiens robustus*)
* **DOB:**5/10/2035, Alexandria, MN, UCAS
* **Education:**Associates Criminal Justice Degree from Alexandria Technical College. Ares Military Officer Training School.

There's nothing particularly surprising about Azog Kortgaard. He's a second generation Ork from an industrial background (that's where he got the name, they named him out of Tolkien 24 years before Dunkelzahn gave the orks back their actual culture). He did two tours in the Ares  Military before joining Knight Errant. A clean service record, several commendations for bravery under fire and a personal commendation from his predecessor (Minneapolis Mayor Carol Bergen ). Exactly the path you'd expect from a city KE commander.

But that's the thing about Azog Kortgaard. He's everything a Knight Errant officer is supposed to be. He's not what you'd call an inspired detective or a visionary leader. But he's persistent. He's tough. He's loyal. He's (sufficiently) honest. They didn't call him 'Bulldog Azog' because of his tusks. They did it because he never gives up once he gets his teeth into something.

A younger Azog Kortgaard took on the mob ,  several times. He never won but he kept at it. But Kortgaard is a survivor and he's learned to look the other way when the Family is doing business. Not because he's on the take, he's not really, but because he's learned to recognize that the Family has the same goals he does. Keep the peace. Make a profit for your employer. And you know what, he's not wrong. Kortgaard's 'lead from the front' philosophy has earned him enough loyalty that he doesn't have to pay off his officers to follow him. And his loyalty to them, and to Mayor Bergen, gives him enough clout to do his job by the book.

Most of the time, anyway...

Guildies

If you play on the Khistova Server of the online game 'Neil's Fourth World Online' (N4WO), you've probably run into the Aropagoi Guild, an Independent guild of hard-core Skrang (the game's lizard men) players who generally favor Thief, Merchant, Illusionist and Swashbuckler builds. They're pretty hard to miss, as they're high-energy high scorers, who like to get in your face and are generally known for being obnoxious.

Like really obnoxious. Like they've all been banned for the server at SOME time.

The other thing you'll notice is how tight they are. No matter how badly they messed up your raid or how often they've camped on your corpse, they never do each other dirty. What you might not realize is why. Because they're not just a guild on the game, these guys are an actual Riverling (SURGE Changeling) crew who are called, appropriately enough, the '***Guildies***'.

A sub-crew of the Big 94, the largest grouping of Riverlings in the Valley, the Guildies are a small, tight-knit crew of hackers, gamers, pranksters, vandals and general pains in the ass. Most of them live by petty theft, matrix fraud and grifting off their friends. Recently, they've also starting making money off runs arranged by their most (in)famous member, professional loudmouth and streamer Race Cannon, who's been using them to do odd jobs for Prairie Public Underground.

Kev Siv Yis

## Kev Siv Yis Academy

I do know one good site that’s not Native-related you should all know about. St. Paul’s East Side is home to the Kev Siv Yis Shamanic Academy, one of the few magical academies teaching shamanic rather than hermetic magic, and as far as I know the only Hmong shamanic one. The students range in age from kids as young as 9 or 10 to adult shamans perfecting their talent. New magical talents with shamanic bents from all over the continent vie to study here. It’s difficult to get into, because there’s only maybe thirty students total; magical talent’s rare even in 2070, and they want each magician to have proper training and supervision. They’re also known for taking in local sprawl kids with magical talents, especially Hmong ones; it keeps ‘em off the street, teaches them their culture and makes the school look charitable. Tuition’s expensive, but the corps are still desperate enough for magicians that they’ll often be willing to sponsor these students in exchange for their services after graduation. Wuxing  and Aztechnology  are especially known for doing this, as their particular brands of magic are less hermetically oriented.

*It’s not just the corps that provide financial aid to shamanic students. Ever wonder why the Mob  never seems to lack a Hmong shaman when they need one?*
- Wirefrog

*I can already see the Hmong people reading this being utterly confused by the concept. We don’t have a tradition of people teaching spells to each other the way a hermetic would; Hmong shamans, at least ones that aren’t borrowing heavily from other traditions, rely on spirits to teach them spells. As such, the shamans here tend to teach the mundane aspects of being a Hmong shamanic practitioner, such as practical telesma usage and language skills, and summon and bind powerful spirits to teach the Awakened aspects. That summoning and binding is why the powerful shamanic teachers are needed, not to mention their intricate cultural knowledge.*

Corps

Let’s face it, without these guys, we’d be out of a job. Fortunately, they’re here in numbers, so don’t worry about a lack of places to go and people to extract. If you’re from the Pacific Rim or the NAN , the first thing you’ll notice is the general lack of Japanacorps. The Midwest has never had as much Japanese influence as other places in the UCAS , despite the fact that the kids are as addicted here to dating sims and cute virtual pets as anywhere else.

*Whoa, man, why so bitter? The pets are pretty cute, for starters.*
- Phim Kooj Koi

There are, on the other hand, presences from a wide variety of other corps. Evo and Ares are the real names in this town, but the other players have that much more room to grow and survive thanks to those two sniping at each other.

Georges Echo Maker

* **Name:** Georges Echo Maker
* **Position:** [official] Maitre’d at the Overmon-Aberny Hotel Restaurant [unofficial] corporate fixer in the FRFZ
* **Metatype:** Human (Homo sapiens sapiens)
* **DOB:** 4/22/2009, Lac-Simon, Quebec, Canada (now Republic of Quebec)
* **Education:** Bachelor’s Degree in Restaurant Management, Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality
* **Family:** Too many to count. And Georges puts a lot of work into keeping his family connections on the DL for business reasons. Most of Echo Maker’s family has been moved down from the north at some point or another.

Nobody quite knows when Georges Echo Maker came to Denver, although he’s definitely a figure as early as the 2030’s, when local old criminals knew that if you asked for ‘Georgie’ at the LeRoux on Blake Street (long since gone, the building subdivided into a series of trendy designer boutiques), he could get you plenty that wasn’t on the menu.

Over the years Georges worked his way up through both the hospitality and underworld industries, bringing relatives down from Quebec and the Niswi-mishkodewinan, getting them jobs in restaurants, bars and hotels to form a network of contacts. Until now is both a night shift maitre'd at the Overmon-Aberny Hotel in the Sioux Sector of the FRFZ and a corporate fixer on the level of Tabby Morgan or Mustang Vass; he keeps a stable of freelance runners in 'unoccupied' rooms in the O-A - because the hotel prizes physical security, it has constant rolling updates of room security, and rooms scheduled for maintenance are unoccupied. In this way, he can keep almost a dozen runners in his pocket.

Georges is a polyglot and a dealer in semi-legal narcotics to high rollers. He's never met a kickback he didn't like and over the years he's worked at, or had nephews work at, almost every hotel bar and restaurant in town where corps and politicos talk business.

Specialties:

* Procuring drugs used by corp types
* What's happening at other hotels that's shadow-relevant
* What corps want runner security; what spy outfits want runner assets
* Who's Who in town
* Providing semipro freelance runners to corp & spy clients; feeding & housing them quietly in the meantime

Mai Nhia's

## Mai Nhia's Vietnamese Kitchen

* **Location:**984 Dale St N, St Paul, MN 55117 UCAS
* **Description:**General Hmong and East Asian cuisine in a relaxed dining atmosphere
* **P2  Rating:**5:10:20

To most people in the Thomas-Dale neighborhood, Mai Nhia's place is just another Hmong restaurant serving decent, if questionably authentic, food at reasonable prices in an informal setting. A bit of a well-kept local secret. A lot of first dates, late nights and family dinners have taken place here for Thomas-Dale and Frogtown locals. Old Mai Nhia herself hasn't worked the front of house in decades, leaving the running of the restaurant to a labyrinthine group of neices, nephews, grandkids and spouses.

This is, of course, because Mai Nhia runs an even better-kept secret than the restaurant, but also far more profitable. Because Mai Nhia is well-known locally as both a *txiv neeb*and as the best off-the-book talismonger in the Frogtown area. Its well-known in the shadows that if you say the right things and she’ll show you at least as much as you’d find at a MageWerks or Pentacle. She’s got a surprising amount of traditions, too, not just Amerind or Hmong stuff. Just don’t try to screw her over, she knows people  you don’t want pissed off.

First Avenue

## The First Avenue Club

**Location:** Downtown Minneapolis, 1st Ave and S 7th St (hmm I wonder where the name comes from)

This club is old as the hills, but it’s still kicking. Anybody who’s ever been big, all the way back to the mid 20th century, has played here, from Concrete Dreams to Maria Mercurial , all the way back to people you’ve probably never heard of, like Prince . Stars with musicians’ names on them who’ve played there cover the whole outside of the building. The AR is new and different for every show, which I’m sure is just expensive as hell. It’s got both a front and side entrance where parallel shows can go on, and from the side entrance one can access a couple of small, unobtrusive meeting rooms to meet Mr. Johnson. Kind of cliche for a meet, actually, but you should come here for a show at least once, just to say you have.

*Prince? Like, is he from the Tir or something? And did you just leave out the name?*

*Look  it the fuck up, darlin’.*

Brother Jonathan

When people think of Spirits during the Awakening usually they think of Native spirits of the land. But, like it or not, it appears that everybody who ever bled for a piece of ground, or made anyone else bleed for it, gets a piece of the astral as well.

Before 'Uncle Sam', the anglophone Americans were represented by a slightly less noble, less venerable figure. Brother Jonathan was a fitting symbol for a young nation full of exiles, criminals and traitors. A brawler, a trickster, sometimes a thief and sometimes a honest man, for a century or more, he represented the contradictions of the nation more openly than the symbols to come after him.

Just after the Awakening, the besieged and formerly-United States was wounded, bleeding. But the forces unleashed couldn't long be confined to one side. And Brother Jonathan emerged once more, as if crawling out from the nation's open wounds. He fought on the front lines of the great ghost dance, perserving American territory whenever he could. He was present at the Battle of Fargo, when groups of Native partisans (largely from the Oglala Lakota, Turtle Mountain Anishinaabe, and the Three Affiliated Tribes) made a concerted raid on West Fargo , shutting down wireless communications (through use of a lightning spirit), seizing the police stations and power supply. North Dakota national guard confronted them near the West Acres shopping center just east of Fargo/West Fargo city limits and the partisans retaliated with magic. Brother Jonathan intervened and the resulting magical explosion left a three-mile diameter wasteland where there had once been a thriving shopping district.

Best reports make Brother Jonathan as a free spirit. He generally shows throughout the UCAS  up to sometimes defend the UCAS, sometimes to defend capitalism, sometimes just to make a buck or sow chaos. And he hasn't been back to Fargo since...

Other major settlements include Kenora, Minaki, the Angle (not Warroad, which is a corp enclave, nor, ironically Lake of the Woods itself, although they trade through there), the Aulneau Peninsula, Ynys Derwyn (Oak Island) and i-Nancalë (Massacre Island) among others.
* **Description:**A series of Elven  Communities (or *Imleäl*) founded on the communal principles of the "Spirit Way" (*Mes ti'Tolo*) advocated by Adrienne Silvermoon. Operate as a state-within-a-state. The UCAS doesn't recognize the Lake Council's existence and the Lake Elves are more than happy not to recognize UCAS authority.
* **Economy:**Self-sufficient agricultural and horticultural communes hidden in the back-country woods. Trade small surpluses for machine parts and those few things that they can't make themselves. They supplement their income with the creation of telesma , which they trade with smugglers and local shamans .
* **Allies:**Maintain ties with other regional elven groups, including the Ranelles ke Telene Lindenshay in Fargo, as well as the *Ozidan*of the Manitou Council , and there's a fair bit of sympathy for the Manitou cause among the Lake of the Woods Elves. They also do business with some of the more sympathetic smuggler groups that work the area, such as the Ladies of the Lakes and the Chinook, who act as intermediaries between the Lake Elves and the Minneapolis Mob.
* **Rivals:**Besides the governments, UCAS and the nearby Niswi-mishkodewinan, who's laws they ignore, and the    far-off Tir Tairngire loyalists who they can't stand, they also have feuds with non-elvish purist groups, such as the Heathens  and the Clans of the Red. But while these distant rivalries are long-held, but abstract, grudges, most of the blood spilled around the Lake of the Woods is with their more immediate threats, the dark things that prowl these same woods: Tamanous  body-snatchers, raiding-parties of Jacks, Blood Worg talisleggers, desperate remnants of the old North Star loyalists and other, darker things that people in the cities and towns and enclaves don't even suspect exist out in the dark beyond the campfires...

Horizon

## Shangri-La North Entertainment (a Horizon  Company)

* **Headquarters:**111 3rd Ave S #110, Minneapolis , MN 55401
* **Leadership:**Chief Executive Vance Martin
* **Holdings:**KLTA, various clubs and other holdings

Horizon’s got a strong footing in the Minneapolis entertainment industry. Its subsidiary Shangri-La Productions is one of the biggest record labels in the city (with such big money acts as Nabo and Background County on their label), although pretty much everyone has a subsidiary in that industry. It’s also got a record of investing in existing clubs in Minneapolis, rather than trying to import some club modeled on one in Seattle  or LA , and it seems to be paying off quite well.

*Didn’t Ares  bring in a club from the Motor City successfully pretty recently?*
- Iab Npauj

*Yeah, I presume you’re talking about the Five by Five over on Cedar on the West Bank. Not a bad place, but it so caters to Afroflash  enthusiasts and the African population in that neighborhood, I kinda wonder if it’ll last once the fad is over.*
-Wired Rose

8.17.2075 - Shangri-La has announced that it is producing a remake of the beloved 2057 Neil the Ork Barbarian classic Sim 'Dawn of Earth'. Sense Recording will begin this fall, with a planned release date some time next summer. Eric Jonrosh, who has directed both popular hits like "Spoils of the Shadows" and critical darlings like "They Day I Had" is signed on to direct, with studio veteran Dominigo DiMarco taking on the producing duties.

Aurora

## The Aurora

Location: Warehouse District

This is a club that’s a pretty typical example of what you’ll find in the Warehouse District. Two separate dance floors on top of each other, with one usually having a live band while the other has a DJ mixing out beats through a synthlink in real-time. They’ve installed SOTA holoprojectors that can sometimes even make you wonder if the wiz dancer next to you is real or not, and a light and sound system that’s just about as perfect as anything can be made to be. It’s allowed it to make inroads on the traditional hotspots of the Twin Cities . They even went to the work of installing meeting rooms on the upper level that are warded and high-security. The funding from all of this seems to have come from a lot of places, mostly shell companies and local A and AA corps, but Horizon looks like the source of a lot of the high-tech gadgetry involved. If so, its reputation score on this data haven suggests meetings there are on the up and up, not watched secretly by Horizon .

*Anyone who meets you here is either working for Horizon or wants you to think that they are. That’s been my experience.*
- Wirefrog

*I know somebody who’s an ex-Horizon wageslave; his family’s out in San Diego , so he left the corp to protect them from Aztlan  retaliation. Anyways, I’ll message him and see if he can tell us anything about the degree of Horizon involvement with this club.*
- Hyasynth

*I got some documents in my hands suggesting the gadgetry Rose is talking about was just bought from Horizon, that they don’t own a stake in the club. I’ll upload them once they’re a little less hot. My professional opinion is that it’s safe.*
- Nodewalker

*I’d hate to have been the first guy to test the waters and figure that out, though.*
- Wired Rose

*I think that was probably me, actually. I got to eat, and no one lives forever, you know?*

## A History Lesson for the Reality Impared

>>>by User:FastJack

*So what is a legend supposed to do when the world changes around him? Most of my colleagues are dead – hell, Captain Chaos should’ve been writing this, but he went down with the ship during the Second Crash . Someone’s got to look out for the next generation and it might as well be me because I’m the last dinosaur  of my kind, and I’m better than some AR display.*

*The following History lesson is for the reality impaired, because as I’ve learned over the years, my mom was right: there’s more to life and the world than what you filter through your computer or commlink. Call this a last shout-out to Cap, the neo-@ ’s and everyone else who’s willing to learn something for the sake of knowledge, not just survival.*

* Rise of the Megacorps
* Death and Chaos
* Metamorphoses
* Divided We Stand, United We Fall
* Hate and Brotherhood
* The Corporate Shuffle
* Will to Power
* Year of the Comet
* The Second Crash
* The Wireless World

*So what now? Well, you’ve had your history lesson. Time to go out there and make your own …*

Kitsune Media

## Kitsune Media, a Renraku Company

* **Headquarters:**Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai Region, Honshu Island, Nippon, Japanese Imperial State
* **Leadership:**Masaru Shikanai, Network President
* **Status:**Wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA-Prime Corporation Renraku Computer Systems.
* **Business:**Wireless Matrix Provider and Media Content Producer.

The third-largest Japanese media conglomerate, Kitsune Media was formed in early 2060 by Yamatetsufrom a number of media acquisitions, including the social media company NineTails International (I still had a NT Profile until the merger. Because I'm old, that's why. Ghost-damned kids), the Fujisankei Communications Group and others. Kitsune impressed the world with several hit products, including the orignal *Original Human Ningi* and *Naruto Reborn*sims and the *Five Kingdoms*games.

In the wake of the chaos of the Year of the Comet, Yamatetsu's rival Renraku managed to wrest control of the rising star studio from Yamatetsu and transform it into a hit-producing machine, with such household names as the critical darling *White Hair, Black Heart*and the popular phenom *Oideyasu, Baby!.*A thoroughly japanese company, it also publishes popular manga such as the corp action-propaganda *Kawai Kuniochikurabu Renraku-gô.*

Carly Hughes

* **Name:** Carla 'Carly' Mae Hughes
* **Position:** District Attorney for Hennepin County
* **Metatype:** Human (*Homo sapiens sapiens*)
* **DOB:** 5/3/2040, Louisville, KY, UCAS
* **Education:** Juris Doctorate from Loyola University

The recent announcement by Hennepin County District Attorney Carly Hughes that she's running for Mayor of the MSPlex only seems right to observers. The next logical step in a career that has been a meteoric rise over the last ten years. She interned with the Draco Foundation in the early 60's and upon graduating from Loyola University in Illinois, immediately being accepted into the Prosecutor's office in Hennepin county. Her stellar performance in this role saw her make ADA by 2068, where she distinguished herself by winning several high-profile prosecutions against members of Minneapolis' organized crime scene and, more impressively, living to tell the tale (the fact that later appeals overturned most of these convictions in no way diminishes her accomplishments). These (very public, very photogenic) triumphs led her to be elected District Attorney in 2072, winning in a landslide over the more-experienced ADA James Trepanier, her former boss when she first started at the Prosecutor's office.

She is now running for Mayor as a Democrat on a “clean up the city” platform, telling the citizens of Minneapolis that she’ll work to make the city’s streets and skies safer for the everyday citizen. It must be working, as she’s the current leader in the polls. It is known that her campaign is being largely underwritten by the North Wind Collective, a major Minnesota-based philanthropic foundation.

[Jimmy's Notes: OK, for anybody from out of town or who just hasn't been paying attention, the the North Wind Cooperative is actually a business front for the Chinook, a band of smugglers who work the northern runs up into AMC and Québec. They play nice on paper by also donating to a number of reputable causes, especially those that have ties to powerful political and media figures who don’t want to lose face by being connected to a band of smugglers. Smuggling and blackmail cruise hand in hand in Minneapolis.]

*Hughes is HOT. She did a “tasteful” swimsuit spread for a veterinary hospital’s annual calendar sale back in ‘72 and there are people who still haven’t changed their calendars. The shot with the albino boa in December … soooo very “tasteful.”*

Flash

## Major H. Gordon Chang

* **Name:**Hu "Flash" Gordon Chang
* **Rank:**Major (O-4) UCAAF
* **Position:**Commanding Officer of the UCAAF 119th Fighter Group "Happy Hooligans", based out of Hector AFB , a component of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing based out of Grand Forks AFB.
* **Metatype:**Human  (*Homo sapiens sapiens*)
* **DOB:**7/6/2043, Newark NJ, UCAS
* **Decorations:**Purple Heart (1), Air Force Bronze Star (1), Distinguished Flying Cross (1), Lockheed-Martin Air Medal (2)

Major H. "Flash" Gordon Chang (Callsign: Hawkman), the actual military commander of the UCAS forces stationed in Region 3 (Fargo) is precisely the sort of officer you'd think the new Governor, grounded fighter ace Tamara Evergreen, would pick for the job. Brave, with a proven record in combat, including against Sioux Air Force during the Third Ghost Dance War as a green young fighter pilot, and popular with his pilots and troops. A pilot's pilot, a soldier's soldier.

You would think wrong, Chang pre-dates Evergreen and served as one of the stalwarts that her predecessor "Iron" Jack McClintock had hand-picked to prop up the UCAS position in the Zone. In fact, as a front-line fighting man, rather than bonding with the new Governor, rumor has it that 'Flash Gordon', still loyal to his old CO, has been butting heads with his new CO, who's differences seem to be in that they are too similar rather than any major differences between them.

* **Business:**Caution's private investigators provide comprehensive background investigation, asset search, fraud investigation, competitive intelligence, due diligence, accident investigation, criminal/civil litigation support, and surveillance services.
* **History:**Founded after the Crash of '29 by former federal agent Lemuel 'Lemmy' Caution, the Caution Agency's willingness to take on Awakened and Matrix related cases brought it to the forefront and made it Fargo's premier private detective agency in the Sixth World. Since Caution's disappearance in the late 50's, his successor, Ivan Johnson, has carved out a small niche between the larger private security firms by specializing in litigation support, background checks, personal work and other forms of business that fall outside the remit of law enforcement contracts. His contacts with the local law firms  has become one of the pillars of the Caution Agency's business.
