The CPRB, Ceres Prime Research Base, spends over 80% of there (dwarf) planet's four and a half year orbit in the deadly Crown Storm Nebula. While this makes for a grate location to bunker down and get some heavy research done it leaves them cut off from supplies or help for just shy of two years at a time. So every once and a while the CPRB holds an auction in New New York selling data and samples from the Nebula. This time however they are holding it on Victoria Station due to one of there latest samples.

   CPRB scouts have been quite sure for years they have found Telos' core, the once liquid sphere if iron and heavy metals at the core of the sun now drifted apart and cooled into a rather oddly shaped mass of metals. But for decades they have been unable to get near enough to make any confirmations or take any samples. However on establishing radio contact as Ceres rose above the ecliptic and out of the Nebula to join the inner planets, they sent word they had not only constructed a device to reach the core but have taken a sample from it.

   They have taken samples from it and plan on getting more, however it was at grate loss in equipment and a substantial loss in crew, leaving them in a bad state to continue there research and restock. There for they are once again holding there auction, going to the station instead of the moon however due to the fact they do not wish to risk contaminating the sample with gate travel. They are reluctantly putting up nearly all the sample as the main item for bid, along with a number of other samples and stores appon stores of data.

   This has brought a large number of people to Victoria Station in anticipation of the auction and with hopes of at lest getting a glimpse at the sample. The prospects of the information that could be gained by it, or the weapon that could be forged from it, have the Station crowded with the representatives of various big names in government, business, and crime.

Here is a list of some important names that are showing up for the event (will update as I give them names =p ):

Monet Granville is sending (a nameless) assistant to bid on various items for study.

Milla Ormanda is sending (a namless) lawer to obtain samples for museums, likely to gain political ground.

Naledi Owusu is sending her daughter Amaphutha Owusu to bid on the core sample only and has said nothing on it... but many claim she wants it destroyed and should be outbid at all cost (mainly claims from those that want it the most).

Even with the traditions and technocracy having formed a union there is still a bit of a cold war brewing from the vets of the Hyperion war that won't let it go even with Jupiter gone. If anything shows this it's that Carrieann Storm and Dr. Howeeel Maddock are both showing up in person to bid on the core sample, likely for some weapon to keep aimed at the other.

Maarten Nostrant has shown similar interest as well and will be bidding by remote link through a construct.

Taisho Sōshin, a renown spiritual leader through out the (mostly outer) planets, is sending a student named Sophia E. Boreh to bid on the core saying that it contains an essence of darkness that should be contained and studied by the brotherhood so that they may find ways to counter such darkness should it descend on us again.

Zelig Tiencken is sending his assistant Margaret Kensington to demand the acquisition of the core to be moved to SSS Level Quarantine stating that under laws set up by the Senex with the traditions and unions such high levels of Entropic energies are to be contained, quarantined, and studied on Charon, Cerberus, or Pluto.  That failing they are likely to bid vast amounts of credits on them, fear that they will outbid people on most every item up there has been a good deal of protest on Senex's participation stating that such discoveries should be shared and that all other bidders would eventually release information to the public while Senex keeps all things to themselves and other Euthanatos only.

Shinkoto Industries is sending a representative named Luxuria Wakahisa to make bids on various items, and is expected to get a lot with there large pool of money they have.

a little more detail on just who these people are >.> lol

Monet Granville is the Den of the Fors Collegis Meruris on Mus, a small chuck of rock orbiting Mercury. The collage was made by and for the Order of Hermes but is open to all who can afford it.


Milla Ormanda Is one of the three governors of the moon, representing the tecnomancer population. She is a German Void Engender.


Naledi Owusu Is one of the three governors of the moon and represents the non-mage population. She is an African Bastet with the appearance of a puma in her transformed state though such has not been seen much at all and people wonder if it's just a nasty rumor that she is. She pushes heavly on laws to protect the moon.

Amaphutha Owusu  Naledi's daughter she is most defiantly a Bastet, in addition to her puma like appearance she has a unicorn like horn and brown and white wings like that of some bird.  Naledi seams to have disowned her (rumors say it's because the mutations she shows are signs of a dishonor) and she dose not use the Owusu name, but she still stays with her mother as a servant.


Carrieann Storm  A survivor of the Hyperion wars and human governor of Amalthea (also known to many traditionalists as Metropolis 2) She is in charge of what is basically one massive, multiple layered, city covering the entire moon.

Dr. Howeeel Maddock  The governor or general of the large fortress moon Himalia, he is a Scottish Son of Ether who fought in the Hyperion wars.


Maarten Nostrant A dutch Virtual Adept he is in charge of the largest ship yards in the system and likely the most advanced weapons R&D labs based on Mimas.


Taisho Sōshin As said he is a renown spiritual leader teaching unity to the traditions and is a leading voice in the outer planets, though less hurd of in the inner planets he is still heavily respected universally. He is an elderly Asian member of the Akashic Brotherhood.

Sophia E. Boreh Unhurd of until sent to bid on the core. (like most the other unnamed listed lol)


Zelig Tiencken Curent Head of Senex and based on Cerberus. (Germian male)

Margaret Kensington Personal assistant to Zelig. (European female)

Senex A large organization split off from the Euthanatos, and there largest chantry. They are in charge of studding dangerous levels of Entropy and keeping the shard realm of Entropy under a close eye while making sure no one approaches it. They collect massive amounts of data from SR Entropy and Pluto's system but do not share it. However they do sell the advance scenery equipment they produce for these tasks, and it is considered the best available.


Shinkoto Industries The corporation behind the production of Rejuvenate, wich seams to be a diluted one of a kind substance that as yet no one has been able to synthesize or find the source of, ensuring Shinkoto an unbreakable monopoly on the product. This alone took them from nothing to the biggest corporation in the system.

Luxuria Wakahisa works for Shinkoto and not much is known about her save she is exstreamly attractive and word is she's sleeping her way to the top. She is almost always with a very large and unusual looking lone bodyguard.
