Answer 13 [STG]: Gateway to the Pole

The largest of the islands constructed by Morgan Oceanic is Mu-Sigma. A just north of the Antarctic Circle, near Marie Byrd Land, the artificial island is the premier locale for corporations interested in exploitation of Antarctica. As all of the other claims of Antarctica are wrapped up in various conflicts (environmental protests, overlap, small size, etc.), Marie Byrd Land is the only area that is likely to receive development as Antarctica melts.

Many large corporations control warehouses and offices that are used to mount expeditions to Marie Byrd Land. The island had occupancy problems as Antarctica melted at a slower pace than expected, but the relatively isolated location helps corporations do lab work that they want to be kept quiet. Morgan Oceanic is all to happy to ensure that nothing (information or otherwise) gets out without a specific request by a renting corporation. This is being threatened by increased traffic along the "Southern Passage", which is bringing more considerably traffic to Mu-Sigma, for shore leave and as it is a convenient midpoint. The friction between shipping and secrecy is already causing trouble, even inside Morgan; rumors say a high-level exec was killed in a murder for hire by another exec...

Question 14 [STG]
What's the internet like? 80s style cyberspace and VR or modernish glowing rectangles and command lines?
