# The Corporations

### Corporations are the new government. They won’t tell you openly, but we all know that.

**The Corps are everywhere**, in every decision, and every movement you make. Whether you are asleep, awake, or in the limbo-state of the network, they are there.

Some Corps are small enough to look harmless, but they are most likely part of a much, much larger scheme. **The “Mega Corporations”, the ones that truly own everything.** They hire the best they can get, although some of the real best don’t have a price tag. And even if their AIs protect part of their networks, there’s always a Corpo Runner in there, and where there’s a human, there’s the possibility of human error.

Corporations are not invincible, they “bleed” as the living organism that they are, **and what bleeds can die**.
