Here are some sample results:
Lone Star has been testing a method of making prisoners at the Wynaco Correctional Facilities undergo decades of prison time in under a month. However, despite the work showing promise, it's rumoured that the Star is planning to put the programme on hold, simply because it is not as profitable as regular ways of incarceration.
Lone Star has reputedly been having problems in Auburn; even though they tolerate some activities, because they have too much on their plate, noticeable acts of violence are something they have to deal with. And it's rumoured that someone has been doing such in order to make the Star look bad and as if they can't be trusted to keep the peace in the district.
Main Place Arcade in Bellevue is used by the larger corporations as a testing ground, which makes it one of the most heavily surveilled places in Bellevue. It's rumoured that not all of this surveillance is directed towards product testing, however, and that some of it is used for even less ethical things.
Miranda King used to be a corporate exec for Spinrad, until one day she just walked out of the main HQ. She now doesn't appear to be doing much, but most know this is just an appearance. There are some rumours that King is still carrying out ops for Spinrad, and only appears to be an independent as this gives a level of plausible deniability to the company.
Mitchell Stuck managed to create his own pocket empire in Auburn when it merged with Seattle, thanks to a loophole in the law. As long as Stuck is alive, this remains intact, but as soon as he dies, the property will revert to Seattle. Seattle's government is looking forward to that even, so that they can clean Stuck's Carnival up, and it's rumoured that recently some members of the government have been looking to move the matter along faster.
