Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else find the Alterra lifestyle kinda, I don't know...creepy? Weird?
I cite as my primary example the PDA log of the couple "renegotiating" their contact hours to zero - in other words, breaking up - laden with enough HR-friendly wording to put anyone into anaphylactic shock? Maybe it's meant as satire (I hope so), but man...those Alterra folks really have some bad head-wiring going on.

However, Alterra's infringements on personal affairs are decidedly creepy, unless that sort of thing has become the social norm.
The Company Is Your Friend. For Life.
That's the impression I got. Another manual you can find basically notes that competition is good for EVERYTHING, for the market, for buying things, and for relationships.
And if your partner goes somewhere else for a good or service you don't provide maybe you should 'rethink your personal corporate goal'.
It's kinda twisted.
Something along the lines of 'Any resource you use on the planet for your own survival you will have to pay for in the future. Your current total expense is equivalent to 667,890 credits.' - Lmao, that was in a PDA on the Aurora, or maybe it was the AI when exploring the Aurora? Eh I forgot most of it haha
Something tells me that I do no want to be rescued, at least not by someone from Alterra. I'd be in debt for life for all the Diamonds and other resources I've used for survival.
"Alterra Brand Prosthetic Kneecaps! JUST the replacements you need when we break your organic ones for failing to pay up! Don't worry, we have very generous payment plans!"
Nope nope nope, I am quite content living on this water planet away from my corrupt cooperate overlords. I think I will keep the quarantine gun operational too, to make sure I never leave.
Dat connection though, kinda freaky.
atleast alterra isnt a worldwide walmart...right?
well "Galaxy-wide"
Can we not turn Alterra into presentable liberty i still have nightmares
Wasn't that the plot from Mission: Impossible 2?
I dont know about that but in presentable liberty some guy set off a virus that kills made it expensive as hell (people had to sell homes to afford it, then the cure would kill organs, so he then sells organs to help replace them but the organs are faulty so tehy have too keep getting replaced until eventually the CEO gets the disease and dies due to his own greed
Well! That's...grim. Even for Alterra.
I mean thats what the carar at least the first part. question is what will they do when the find out about this new illness and its cure?
By arming both sides in a massive war then when they got enough money they cut supply's and took over.
The worst thing is I think that Altera is one of the better corporations out there.
I think that this is supposed to mean that they don't often compromise:
run out of engine grease, could carry on but no we have to send out a distress call to get more.
Hes got a point in some parts, it does seem alterra or at least its fleet does have a track record of being frail. at least in the eyes of the sunbeam. wonder if the degassi hurt there reputation. and they are trying to restore it by sending aurora
You work in a factory in Jersey?
Once upon a time.
I work in a factory in New York (upstate). Yeah, they just fixed the roof (well, mostly) that's been leaking like a sieve for years. Not hazardous at all... as long as a leak doesn't open up over a 480V panel (especially if you're next to it). "Safety first!" but they won't give us enough crew to get finished material to the warehouse and obey the 3MPH forklift speed limit *wink, wink* and the governors are conveniently left at 12 MPH.
I'm not saying all big companies are bad, but some definitely are. Especially when they are bought out by an investment company that just wants to turn mad profit, only caring about the next quarter, until the host starts showing signs of being drained (no reinvestment to infrastructure) and then sell it to the next investment company, rinse, repeat. >:/
