Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the United States are at odds over 1.2 million square kilometers (460,000 square miles) of Arctic seabed which could possibly hold 25% of the world’s oil and gas. The rivalry between the five Arctic neighbors has heated up as melting polar ice makes the region more accessible.
Real life should stop stealing from Prosperity canon.
A little bit of research tidbitty-ness for Prosperity:
Some interesting coincidences that we should incorporate into the continuity, in my opinion.
Spencer Greene here. Just out on the “prowl”… Nearly got caught with this notebook in the food station. The fucker started falling out of my pocket in front of some cozzers. Can’t say I didn’t fucking shit myself.
Anyway, that’s not the point of this update. Trace, one of the lucky ones who managed to get through the chunnel, she’s helped me with a few contacts. Very important contacts. The kind of contacts that can supply 500+ assault rifles to citizens in very central districts of the city. The kind of contacts that get Union attention.
She approached me when I was out at an underground bar drinking with Guiseppe. Joe guessed she was looking to sell. That guy just reads people. Managed to strike a deal with her: 500 or so military grade guns for one dedicated broadnet node. Joe and I have about five of those hidden in a few factories so I jumped at the chance. Joe was against it but I managed to warm him to the concept. He has been getting a little more tolerant of the resistance lately. Not sure what Trace and her contacts want with a node. I’m not asking. They’re anti-Union. That’s enough for me.
McCourt here, broadcasting on the usual secure line has become a bit of a problem. Had to cobble together something that isn’t as secure and might be able to intercepted by someone smart. Thankfully we’re dealing with the Union. However, there is increased PACOP activity around these parts. I may be comprimised in the coming weeks if I’m not careful. Old Detsky is being a bit more sneaky than usual. It doesn’t make me feel good. As a precaution, I’m casting this from a favourite bar of mine. On that note, you never gave me that drink you owe me…
Anyway! Onto business, mate. I’ve secured several launch and cargo manifests for the skyships based in six of the sectors closest to your “in-house” HQ. There is something that is popping up in the aft cargo bay of every Ambition-class Destroyer that I’m slightly worried about. It’s big, heavy and it is named “vangard” in the manifest. Also, to give your bollocks another twist, there is non-standard ammunition stored along with “vangard”. We’re talking high fecking calibre here, Ed.
We’re dealing with the possibility of a new weapons patform similar in size and weight to a standard UMGF tank with weaponry that could tear most of our armour to ribbons quite easily.
Stay posted, will find out more.
