On the Phoenix Corps being absorbed into Norn Incorporated entirely
| Wow. Too bad about the job... What position did you hold in Pcorps?
| It was so fucked...I got a notification of this one week from my maternity leave ending..."You're services are no longer required." Bullshit...
...anyway, Phoenix Corps is no more. They've been entirely absorbed into Norn Incorporated, the same company that was their main financial backer and alse the techy research company that made all of their advanced tech,and with this they lost their contract with QUINCY.
| >>151680 I was the community manager. Basically the social media person, to make everything look rosy-eyed from the outside. I also talked to people occasionally.
| But now, I have no idea what the old Phoenix Corps is up to. They've likely changed their name, but this makes them basically Norn Incorporated's private army to do what they want with. I think they may start mercing the PCorps out for cash, or maybe use them as some sort of research platform for weapons systems. I honestly don't know, Norn is pretty secretive, even though I worked for them I barely know a damn thing about them.
| I hope you find a new job. And congratulations on the baby.

| I don't even think Norn Incorporated is based in Glitch City, from what I understand they are based on some island off the coast of the mainland. Looks like a weird skyscraper castle, it honestly looks confusing as fuck. Weird place, but I think they own that whole island.
I'm honestly just pissed off, I got dropped just before my baby was born... what kind of company has such a lack of empathy? Such bullshit dude...
| >>151703 People always say that, but they never truly understand that not every business decision in the world actually makes "profit". What do you think Norn Incorporated actually got by firing me? How do you think that generated "profit"? All it generated was a jobless single mother with nowhere else to go...this decision didn't help anybody earn any profit.
Also, don't call me kiddo...call my son that, if anything.
| Looks like all that's left is the underpowered and underequipped GCPD
| You could look for a job in there. If they won't hire you they wont hire anyone
| -A certain GCPD officer
| GEE WHIS I WONDER WHO THAT CAN BE
- =!ano
| Fucking Techies will be the end of this world I swear, what's with all the evil Corporation being linked to technology or military? What's next? SERN?
-F
| So what does this mean for Glitch City entirely? What should be expected?
- Felix
| Well the big guns aren't only off law enforcement. But work as a private army to whatever Norn might want.
This is a huge problem as the GCPD don't have the resources to respond to the bigger threats PCorps were meant for.
Then it goes further with the chance that the GCPD might work at odds with the PCorps. This Doesn't bode well at all.
-A certain GCPD officer that's totally not easy to tell
| Law enforcement becomes more difficult when the enforcing body doesn't have enough power to actually enforce. Basically left to just roll over and say fine ok
| Well, if you're looking, TJ, feel free to DM me your resume. -Aethia
| I mean, the biggest problem if you ask me isnt the absence of law enforcement or their power level, what truly frightens me is this Norn thingamajig, big companies like them hide stuff from the people, and act in care for profits only, this ussually ends up in crazy plots and plans for dominance.
Call me crazy, but I know something is up, and i'll kill whoever is trying to make it happen, mark my goddamn words g/u/rls
-F
| There may be no one with the power to enforce anything in the upper levels. but killing corps up is not ok F
| >>152151
Hey, never said i'd kill those who didnt deserve it, but lemme tell you that Norn is shady as hell, so I'd rather send a message to those shadow corps idiots that if they try their bullshit here they'll get what's coming to them. Than to just sit it out and have to deal with all the clean up work.
-F
| Well, if there will be something extra crazy, UK guys usually respond if it threatens their patrials within the city, like with the Central District case and December riots.
And I'm more than sure the rest of the companies will counter-act Norn's powerplay, like CrayCo with their personal army of terminator cosplayers, or Jinterprise with their special ops or newcomers K-TRAN who have a hard-on on heavy armor.
| We only get a lack of proper law enforcement in the end, but anything that could threaten the whole city would sure be dealt with.
| If you say so, guess I was a little rash there, but I still hate all this shit going on and would prefer to take action. i'm tired of sitting on the sidelines while all the companies, military bands, governement and private corps fuck the people of GC over, maybe i'm a justice blinded fool with a death wish, but i'd rather die protecting said justice than let another company kill off competitors and then be hailed as heroes before they try the same shit as a cycle.
-F
| Well, you can always start ANOTHER phoenix corps, call it something cheesy, like White Phoenix corps or Phoenix Knights corps, find a sponsor and bring peace to the city for awhile, until your company eventually dies off as all law enforcement companies in this city seem to.
| >>152218
There's merit in that Idea, but I never liked stifling codes and rules, something like a Vigilente group would fit me better I bet, but that would definitely be the perfect occasion for Chuuni bastards to make some cheesy group name with edgy military garbs, would like to see that one!
-F
| Either QUINCY ups the funding for GCPD to make up for the loss of PCorps or a private corp ends up buying it out. GCPD'll be stuck sitting on its hands until then.
Some GCPD officers are already bailing out and looking for work in Corp security. I for one am hoping that Quincy strikes a contract with Knights Errant
-A certain cop
| TJ here.
>>151691 >>151969 >>152054
Bless your hearts. Aethia, I will definitely email you my resume.
>>152019 >>152043 >>152077 >>152151 >>152196 Look guys, these are all good discussions. I agree, something should be done about law enforcement in this city because as of late the GCPD have been somewhat lacking, but really no solution will be fast or immediately fix anything. Time will heal these wounds.
>>152028 This means less law enforcement for GC, only GCPD is left now.
| >>152028 What this ALSO means is that the Phoenix Corps, or whatever their new name will be, are not the good guys anymore. Honestly I don't know where they stand, I'm not sure if they are going to be mercenaries or test subjects or criminals or part of a new army. Frankly what happens with the Phoenix Corps is ultimately up to Norn Incorporated.

| Well, TJ Shinzaki here...I just had a baby, and uh...Well, now I'm out of a job.
The Phoenix Corps are no longer their own thing. Many people have probably noticed their lack of appearance anytime anything major has happened recently, both with the destruction down in Central District and now with this shitshow of a meeting in the Capitol building, both places they should have been responding to.
Well, that's because Phoenix Corps no longer exist. They're something...else now.
