Answers to setting questions:

- When and where did the city crash? Cape Cod, north side of the hook, in 1999
  - What existing city was displaced? Barnstable, Dennis, Brewster, Orleans, and Eastham - the city is almost 15 miles in diameter
  - How bad was the devastation? Lots of flooding, but the area was evacuated in time
  - How do the old residents feel about the new one? Everyone’s property investment was ruined so they’re upset about that, but a lot of the Old Money invested in the new city’s industry, so opinions are mixed

- Decide on three “faces” for Aspire:
  - Malcolm Gladwell, CEO of Gladwell

- Decide on three “faces” for Embassy Sector: TBD
- Decide on three “faces” for Science Sector: TBD
- Does anyone have a personal involvement with the science pirates? Sabine knows a couple guys who were members
- Have you fought a gang before? How did it go? Guardian Ghost and Sabine have both tackled the gangs before. They weren’t able to do much on their own.
- What kind of music do people like?
  - Small independent artists and experimental musicians are here
  - Well-known acts didn’t show up to perform in a death trap of a city at first
  - Karaoke as bonding ritual between people working dangerous jobs
  - Artists giving live performances connect better with an audience

- What performing arts can be found?
  - Craft shows, leather, painting, ceramics - people interpreting the city’s mythology in tangible art
  - Holdovers from the quaint artistic culture of the Cape
  - The appeal of local artists, people who hang out at a certain place or can be regularly found somewhere

> I think because people who move there have to be open minded and a bit free spirited to live there. Things might happen at any time so it’s not exactly stable. I think people who are “independent artists” are more likely to take risks and roll with the punches, and would enjoy the freedom offered by an unconventional environment.

- Arts that don’t exist elsewhere?
  - Etags: programmable paint that can project holograms, and is powered by heat
  - Etags are used to display flags, store signs, graffiti, and much more
  - Etag paint can be tattooed into human skin

- Local business or culture? TBD
