Seattle hosts a number of competing corporations which frequently engage in corporate shadow-wars with one another. The aforementioned FOTUS armor had proven invaluable during some of these conflicts. Seattle possesses the highest per-capita number of [[coffee]] dispensaries in all of [[human]]-occupied space. Records of the area surrounding the 434 Combat Readiness Lab specifically indicate that there are enough coffee and congealed sugar dispensaries for each resident to have their own. [[Unified Earth Government]] administrative agencies have been alerted to the anomalous distribution of these facilities. | Seattle hosts a number of competing corporations which frequently engage in corporate shadow-wars with one another.
