PC Contacts

LABRA-Transport Chief Comptroller Al Bienhoff

[
Bienhoff, interviewed ] One of Pierce's contacts. (Government - connected). Bienhoff is the core of the patronage-rife and corrupt Transport division of the Los Angeles Basin Reclamation Authority. Though he holds little technical authority, Bienhoff has instant access to a great deal of information on what the Authority is doing in the field of transport and plenty of information on the state of transportation in LA at any time. He was very interested in helping Pierce with his documentary about the alley-surfers of Tidalay.

Matt Watley, biotech marketing copywriter

[ Picture of
Matt ] One of Pierce's contacts. (Orgotek - unconnected). Matt, a perennial water-cooler cubicle-dweller writes ad copy for Orgotek Farms' biotech products, a thankless but necessary job, especially in the anti-biotech atmosphere of the FSA. He helped Pierce out when both were working for Orgotek, and lives in a fine apartment high-rise in Dryalay.

Val Adams, PR flak

[ Picture of Adams
] One of Pierce's contacts. (Aeon Trinity - unconnected). Val was Pierce's PR "handler" when he was restoring and in some cases reshooting old flatvids for Aeon's Project Rewrite. She hasn't gone much farther than that since they parted ways, but seems to enjoy it pretty well.

George Velasquez, skimcabbie

[ Picture of
Velasquez ] One of Pierce's contacts. (subculture - connected). George (pictured here at a dolphin fight down in a Tidalay arena) hears everything in his skimcab and across his portable OpNet connection and was Pierce's guide to the underside of Tidalay life. He has some shady connections that Pierce doesn't quite want to know about, but is an enthusiastic partier and a great cabbie.

Professor Trisha Allen of ISRA


[ Picture of
Trisha Allen, at far right ] One of Zeke's contacts. (ISRA - connected). Pictured here at the far right, Professor Trisha Allen has technically left ISRA for her work on the Clear Skies Jumpship Guidance Referral Service, Inc., which serves to match up clairsentient pilots with ships and corporations that need their services. However, she has kept her hand in ISRA a great deal, including many trips to the moon to help train new clairsentients and keeping in contact with a great number of ISRAns, so as to be able to keep on top of the market. In this picture, she and a client go over the departure schedule of a jumpship from the Corporate Platform landing bays.

Detective Albert Chelquist

[ Picture of
Detective Chelquist ]One of Pierce's contacts (police - connected), Chelquist has survived about three dozen administrative re-alignments, been promoted up and down, transferred left and right, and probably should have retired years ago. But he's still around with a story for every occasion.

Millstone, watermusic engineer

[ Picture of
Millstone ]One of Pierce's contacts (subculture - unconnected). Millstone is the given nameof this acoustic artist whose work involves the alteration of watermusic. Spoken of in hushed tones by Tidalay natives, Millstone's work brings him into conflict with the musical navigators and sometimes has unwanted social effects - like all artists, though, he continues with it.

Geoffrey Bartolino, Esq., attorney-at-law

[ Bartolino
addresses the press ] One of Pierce's contacts (legal, government, lightly-connected), and his attorney, Bartolino was referred to him by Val Adams to deal with his legal troubles.

Staff Sergeant Clare March

[ Picture of
Staff Sergeant March ] Staff Sergeant March, a former front-line soldier, is now a Legion mid-level manager who is good friends with Talia. She'd rather still be on active duty, but is not allowed, for health reasons, to do so. Thus she is very happy to avoid doing more datawork and sit and gossip with Talia.

Previous Contacts

These people were contacts of previous PCs who have since left the game.

Amanda Dennison, Legion liason to Aeon

[ Dennison as she
appeared when she graduated from the Academy several years ago ]One of Zeke's contacts (Legion, connected), this enthusiastic young psychokinetic has had several tours of duty with the Legion and is an excellent organizer of operations in conjunction with Aeon Trinity. This picture shows her at a more young, polished age, graduating from the Academy.

Mel Howard, clairsentient farseer and interstellar starship pilot

[ Picture of Mel
]Mel Howard, an ISRA clairsentient interstellar jumpship pilot, referred to Zeke (and subsequently somewhat charmed by him) by the Professor. She helped monitor Millstone for the team and is on R&R in the Basin.
