… which could be difficult, as it would appear that the situation with Chad is not an open and shut case. He's being interrogated and tortured in the infamous Quiet Room, where he swears to Julian Morse that he doesn't know anything about the security tech he was caught with … and that his recent debauchery-filled trip to the club in the Red Zone -- where he and his colleagues came across executives from SPIGA's number-one rival, Inazagi -- was all Ben's idea.

Hello, citizen. Welcome back to Life in 2074, our weekly blog exploring the day-to-day of the future world of Incorporated. Here we take a closer look at the details of life in a corporate-controlled society as depicted in the latest episode of Incorporated.

Incorporated Season 1, Episode 2: "Downsizing" showed us that refugee camps are even harsher environments in the future, cage fighting has gotten even more vicious and you don't ever, ever want to be sent to The Quiet Room. See below.

Refugees

Following the rise of the dustbowl, the flooding of coastal cities and the outbreak of rampant diseases, Midwestern cities were inundated with refugees. Thankfully, with support from SPIGA, they were put into relocation towns where food, lodging and entertainment were provided. Wait times to leave the refugee areas and join new communities were between six months and six years.

Real Estate

A primary benefit of joining the SPIGA family is access to their deluxe SPIGA homes. Neighborhoods are built exclusively for SPIGA employees with all homes being the property of the Corporation. Please leave them in the state you received them.

The Quiet Room

SPIGA's top-secret interrogation facility remains a mystery to most employees of the company. Internal cameras are forbidden in all SPIGA facilities to protect corporate secrets … except in The Quiet Room.

Red Zone Fight Clubs

It is completely normal to want to blow off steam after a long day at the office, but SPIGA does not recommend spending time at the illicit Fight Clubs found throughout the Red Zone. However, the Corporation (in conjunction with local business people) does hold fully sanctioned league fights in the Green Zone. Tickets may be obtained via HR.

Non-Disclosure Agreements
