Continental Brands
Organic and synthetics food and drink
Headquarters: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Regional Offices: Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, Seattle, Dallas, Night City
Employees: 147,000 ▶ Background ◀ Petrochem's monopoly on the production of CHOOH2 in the United States meant that any surplus crop of Triticum Vulgaris Megasuavis, the wheat from which the fuel is made, had to be completely absorbed by the company. Having no additional incentive to produce more CHOOH2 in any given year within the walled garden of their American monopoly, Petrochem turned to their subsidiary food business, Continental Agricorp of Tulsa, OK, to answer this problem. Petrochem tasked the Continental Agricorp's American New Products Division with an important mission: find new ways to sell Americans more food than they bought the previous year. With each passing year, surpluses of T. megasuavis in the U.S. became larger, and the work of selling through the wheat fell increasingly heavy on the American New Products Division. The constant pressure to produce exponential year-on-year growth, combined with a lack of oversight from their parent company, created an office environment so toxic that it seemed to eat people alive, only to replace them just as rapidly. What rose from this poison swamp was the cross-factional alliance of the New Beverages Marketing Director, Olivia Forsythe, and the New Foods Marketing Director, Lewis "Mr. Moo-Moo Burger" McAllister, each served by brand mangers loyal to them alone. In secret, in the summer of 2040, they drafted a plan to cut out the ultimate middleman in their business: Petrochem. They began to consolidate power—and over the course of three years they put half of Petrochem's American Agribusiness into the legal equivalent of a large sack and hoisted it over their shoulder. In preparation for their move they brought half of Petrochem's CHOOH-4U gas stations, lobbying, and research and development in-house. One morning, all affected staff were made aware. Continental Agricorp was no longer their employer, but Continental Brands was. While they were no longer affiliated with Petrochem, the move came with a tidy pay increase. In court, Petrochem's legal team in their home state of Texas argued that it was the greatest single theft of property, both intellectual and otherwise in recorded history, but the case was quickly dismissed. In a final twist of the knife, Continental Brands had stolen the judge, too.
