State of Seattle

# State of Seattle as a Whole

Seattle is as it usually is, barring the unusual policing matters, in which various police companies have been given control of various districts and areas of the metroplex.

## GMs

Feel free to vary the police presence. See the Community Metaplot for more details on what various security forces are available.

# State of Seattle Community Metaplot

With the many failings of Knight Errant, Seattle is considering a change in security. Each district has two representatives on the Metroplex council, and each has their own favorites and reasons for doing so, inlcuding bribery and blackmail. Naturally, various companies have vested interests in seeing that certain companies succeed.

Currently, Eagle Security is the favorite to win, with the NYPD trailing not far behind, and Lonestar a distant third, but third nonetheless.

Linked runs:

## GMs

See the metaplot document to see current votes. If you want to skew the vote one way or the other, plan a run and have it affect things. Whether that run is initiating a bribe, exposing a bribe, removing blackmail or finding it, or just making a particular company look bad. Once the run is complete, post in GM-fallout and ping thematics so we can update the current list to reflect current actions of GMs and Players.

## Active Metaplots

### The Fifth Spice

Qiao Xing is a Double Flower in the Black Crysnathemum triad, and has been tasked with establishing a Red Dragon aligned triad in Seattle, tipping the Red Dragon's control in their favor. He prefers to work slowly and secretively, posing as if he is a Wuxing Johnson when he meets with runners (although he never says explicitly that he is Wuxing, he does refer to his work as 'the company' etc.) So far, his triad has obtained the formula for Nutripowder strain 42, which had been disallowed because of its negative side effects that resulted in death. They have also obtained production equipment and now run a factory inside an old warehouse producing NP42 in small batches, alongside other common street drugs for cash. His group is small, and if found out, could be stamped out, so he aims to increase its strength. Related Runs: Not So Healthy Choices, The Fifth Spice, Takeout Please

## GMs

Add your metaplots, a brief description, and list of runs associated with it, especially if an AAR has been completed (and link that AAR!). The goal here is to make it easy for our metaplots to be interacted with by other GMs.

# Notable Factions

### Saeder-Krupp Industries

Lofwyr is suffering from the loss of the Jewel of Memory, which threatens his position as Loremaster. This may distract him from business activities, but he also cannot admit to losing it.

Furthermore, the Seattle offices of SK were largely untouched by the sweeping purge of suspected conspiracists known as "Das Schachtverschwörungszentrum." Compared to the rest of the world, SK Seattle is a beacon of relative stability for the corp, and many managers who could pull strings to get transferred there have done so, causing bloat and increasing pressure for expansion within the city.

### Triads

A minor fourth group, known as the Five Elements triad has been rumoured. The presence of their unique product, NP-42, on the black market indicates this may not be a rumour.

## GMs

Ping thematics with your run fallout if it has a major effect on one or more factions.
