>>Welcome to ShadowSea JackPoint
>>I suppose recent events warrant this to be a whole new topic within these forums. As you all know, yesterday, some very disturbing events unfolded in the Rider, or as in our line of work they started to call it, Under the Waves. Just to limit myself to cold facts, a reason yet unknown caused 10,472 people to die in there, some pretty important ones included. This is a place created to pool our knowledge, facts, and ideas, for as I’m sure you are all certain, there will be repercussions that will affect all our lives adversely.
>>FastJack
>>To complete the cold facts FastJack provided, here’s some food for thought: there are several billion nujen’s worth of assets in that place, currently inaccessible to those investors and companies that previously thought this would be a booming business opportunity. Now I’m sure that kind of money is peanuts for the Big Ten but I wouldn’t bet against a few smaller businesses will change ownership as a direct consequence of the events.
>>So far, all bigger stock exchange rates fell around 2-3 points, and stocks of the Rider fell from a whooping 151.3 a share to 23.6, in the first ten hours. Main shareholders were the Brandon & Stokes Consortium (some Aztechnology and Evo interests there) and two smaller companies, subsidiaries of Horizon Group and MCT, through several companies with controlling interests in the next level.
>>Mr. Bonds
>>So this is the time to buy if you want to own a huge building in the center of Bellevue, ain’t it?
>>Aufheben
>>That is, if you want yourself being scrutinized by every possible kind of authority. Don't think that they won't suspect an insurance fraud or some buy-out scam. And if you don’t want to use that property for the next year or so.
>>Mr. Bonds
>>Cold facts aside, the sheer scale of this gives me the creeps. You know that I’m not against a fair bit of disorder, but this will create ripples that won’t die down for the next few years. I expect this to create the same kind of impact that 9/11 created at its time.
>>Aufheben
>>9/11?
>>Turbo Bunny
>>Yeah, that’s ancient history, with some very serious security issues and planes crashing in the World Trade Center in Manhattan and the Pentagon. It was one of the greatest debacles of that age, and there was considerable tightening of travel security after that. For a detailed report, look at this [link].
>>Sunshine
>>Anyway, I can’t really decide if jumping on the horse and trying to ride the publicity this one will prove to be a smart or an idiotic move by MoM and Alamos. I have the feeling they just tried to get the wind in their sails but they didn’t realize it’s a hurricane.
>>Aufheben
>>It probably was a well-calculated publicity stunt, however disgusting. Mark my words, not a week will pass and another statement will be provided that the previous ones were given in poor taste, by splinter sections of those organizations, unsanctioned by the main body, and any responsible parties were punished. Fragging rads.
>>Dr. Spin
>>As for ideas on reasons, I could provide several scenarios, each wilder than the previous one. What is more important, the ‘Trix in that place is teeming with GOD agents and law enforcement spiders. I tried to get in there, any morsel of info from that place will be a goldmine in the coming days, but it’s simply not worth it. I should have been there 15 minutes before I actually was, then I might have had a sliver of chance to get in.
>>Hannibelle
>>Don’t be sorry you didn’t arrive sooner, Belle. I was there almost the moment Horizon started its broadcast, but I say that some very powerful jamming must have been in effect. Someone closed down the system pretty well, I tried to use every frequency that I could think of but all signals going in were jammed. One of “us” must have been inside at that moment, and must have provided a dynamic jamming. And he must have been there right until GOD came and closed down the system for its own good.
>>Glitch
>>And if any of you thought of looking at astral space there: don't i checked it from three blocks away, and the sheer strength of what emanated from there gave me the creeps.
>>Ethernaut
>>I don't even want to imagine what kind of dark and evil fenomena are happening in there at this time. Oh my. I just imagined.
>>Frosty
>>OK, people, so far, not too much useful information, just what you should expect at a case like this. Anyway, i'd seriously appreciate anything on this, with some of the usual bonuses. Until then, i leave this topic open.
