Anarkum
Technologies was and is Johan Anarkum's global technology company. The
odd sideways A logo was plastered on nearly every robot and building
during my mission to Cantos. This iconic corporate symbol can be found
everywhere on Gaea as well. The truth is that Anarkum's financial
future was dependent on the success of the New Haven Colony. The
Colony, after all, was really just an interstellar joint stock company.
The UFT had invested too much in Anarkum Technologies over the years
(at one point two decades ago, 85% of the UFT's military weapons and
vehicles had Anarkum logos on them) and was economically tied to the
success of the colony as well. This is what motivated sending me on the
mission to Cantos Minor. They wanted to keep the news about the Colony
positive so investors, and more importantly new colonists, would be
willing to take risks on the colonial experiment. They could only wag
the dog for so long before investigative reporters broke the news of
the communications blackout on the Colony so I was sent in, discreetly,
to find out what went wrong. None of this will be found in any official
documents, of course, but take my word for it when I say the Colony was
in much more danger than any news report ever speculated.
