History

Godcorp

After Duke had killed Ned Packer, President of Godcorp, LTD., for killing his best friend, the Little Guy, Holmes had filed a lawsuit against Godcorp, while Duke was building a nega-space transport to journey home. Sydney Upwind was meeting with Woblina Strangelegs, Head of Godcorp's Sociology Technology Division, Mead Packer, Ned's brother and Chief of the Leisure Division, and Abel Stugg, the Head of Godcorp's Human Needs Division, on how to paint Godcorp as a positive economic and social influence and how to confront Destroyer Duck. In the office of Enforcement Concepts, LTD., Medea was punishing Uranus for his failure to kill Destroyer Duck. Medea was prepared to kill him, but was stopped due to the intervention of Woblina.
