I KNEW Horizon was up to something sinister!

Yeah, but what? I want to figure out what is up with Horizon and the Consensus. anyone got any proof/speculations of what Horizon is up to in their secret top tiers?

The Consensus began when the head-in-jars formally known as Bill Shatner, Charlie Sheen and Simon Cowell got together and had mages summon the shedim that used to be Walt Disney to create a new megacorp in order to take over the world.

Let me guess, they got Mel Gibson to sign on to be the voice of reason, right?

Wait a while. There are three Horizon adventures (1 released, 1 in post, 1 upcoming), and a whole plot book centered around Horizon in the pipeline for next year.

Universal Brotherhood again?  Dissonance?  The Joker dimension traveling?  Harlequin deciding to break into the Megacorporation market?

Or, worst of all, nothing.  Absolutely, positively nothing except exactly what they claim to be?

...

Why do I consider that to be the worst possible option?   :o

He's VP of Human Resources.

Although that department isn't what you think it is.

Considering my view of HR, it just might be.

Yes, I'm a bitter, bitter man.

I am thinking the big evil AI that every one thought was dead but that Puck so off handedly mentioned was still around is shapeing Horizon from within the Consensus.

Just had an idea...

Captain Chaos takes over a Corporation and blackmails the Corporate Court with his extensive knowledge (Via Gary Cline) into making it a AAA!

Cap was a Neo-A, so I don't expect him to be part of any structured corporation.

And just how "Structured" is Horizon?  It's chain of command looks like a mobius strip.  Yes, there's a leader, but honestly, that's more a cult of personality mentality.  Not that far off from the Neo-@ limited "structure" that ShadowLand had.

The true Neo-A's had no structure whatsoever. A megacorp run by them would have no leader and half the employees wouldn't show up because "they're showing the director's cut of Bladerunner 2 on tri-d this morning!"
