I posed some of this question over on the character creation forum, but i imagine it got lost in all the crunch. Is there much written about the Manhattan, Inc. Consortium? The wiki just says they run the island and are mysterious and shadowy with all/most of the seats belonging to corporate interests. My questions are:
1) what would a member of this boards connection rating be? I wanted to use friend in high place to get one on my side and couldn't choose between 8 or 9. Though I'm leaning 8
2) What exactly does the organization do exactly?
3) What kinds of powers do the board members have?
4) Any suggested reading to get caught up on the Rotten Apple and its history?
Thanks guys!
