Lone Star Security Services
Law enforcement in Seattle, as well as many other sprawls. Essentially thugs with badges, their job is to make rich people feel safe, and if a criminal covers their tracks well enough, they often just round up a scapegoat.
They are the enemy, plain and simple. They’re an AA-rated megacorp that pretends to be the law, but you know they only care about the bottom line. How can one protect and serve when all they are really worried about is profit and loss? Founded and raised in the grand state of Texas, they handle municipal police, private security, personal protection, corporate security, and prison operations all over the world. They arrest you and then make the money to hold you. If they could manage to get into the contract judiciary business, I’m sure they would. Since I love spoiling surprises, I’m going to toss out the insider info that LSSS will definitely maintain an AA rating under the new umbrella of OmniStar, the new parent megacorp formed by the merger of Lone Star, DocWagon, and Manadyne. It was a Little Eight speculation come true, with Aegis Cognito choosing a different umbrella to sit under. This means Lone Star can shoot you to keep the peace, then patch you up to keep you alive, then im- prison you for your crimes, all while offering you time off for volunteering for medical and arcane experimentation programs. And in each stage, they profit. All of it will appear to most of the world as a series of separate pieces, but up there at the top, they’re one big corporate family. While they already had a solid division for arcane investigations—the Department of Paranormal Investigation—they’ll be beefed up with Manadyne resources going forward. Access to labs and research could also boost their investigation assets, though trusting any- thing to cross corporate borders this early in the merger may be rare. It’s a great place to sow distrust, though, so target that chunk if you get contracted for evidence tampering.
