We don’t have companies called Militech or anything, we have companies named shit like Poob. Palantir is the only suitably evil sounding company

      Dunkelzahn (circa 13,000 BC – August 9, 2057) was a Western Great Dragon. He was the 7th President of the UCAS elected, during the UCAS Special Presidential Election of 2057, but was assassinated on the night of his inauguration, later believed to be a self-sacrifice ritual to prevent the Horrors from crossing over into the Sixth World early. The policy led by his successor Kyle Haeffner can still be considered as marked by Dunkelzahn’s ambitions to fight racism, exclusion and poverty and renew UCAS international relations.

      the bit about fighting racism, exclusion and poverty made me actually laugh out loud when I read it. Even in the cyberpunk future with elves and orcs libs talk like libs I guess.
