The Luminous Factory
One streetlamp is more conspicuous than the rest: few cast such squidly shadows. The Tentacled Entrepreneur pretends not to notice you until you're right next to him, then gurgles a quiet greeting. You imagine he believes he was successfully skulking.
The Tentacled Entrepreneur – the Fifth City's foremost business-Rubbery – occasionally requires a capable contractor to keep an eye on his competitors. Today, that partner is you. Investigate the lamp factory threatening his business interests. Interview the Impatient Supervisor and her workers. What secrets lie on the factory floor? What do these lamps use as fuel? And, most importantly, can it be leveraged for profit?
