Hi Jen! Hopefully we cover everything. Please let us know if anything was missed!
re: business loans: El would be able to finesse some recent credit history to make it obvious that they're ready to handle a business loan themselves. Again, Morningstar would be happy to provide some extra financial help to make it seem as if this loan would be more of a supplement to their income. In terms of explaining why they'd like to open a bar to any kind of loan officer, we feel that Markus would have a more compelling explanation given his line of work and interaction with the upper echelon.
re: the sports bar's closure: There is still a lot of money to be made in holding watch parties. Even if everyone is viewing their favorite events on the neural implant, there's still a sense of camaraderie in enjoying it with strangers. The reason why the bar closed a few years ago was mostly mismanagement: bad food, unsafe working conditions, mistreating employees according to city regulations and things like that.
re: setting up the safehouses: Gaby will be calling in Morningstar-affiliated contractors from another city to come in and help set up a lot of the actual safehouse and their needed technology. This includes any needed surveillance and masking. The masking itself will be attuned to the IDs of the Displaced and set up during the four-day grace period. This is an alternative to the masking that's in place now that's more generalized.
re: the namere: the dreams: We agree that this is a great idea, and also set up the log in such a way to already draw on this.
