There are a lot of corporations out trying to grab the CyberEvolved, and CorpSec is their favorite tool, primarily because if one corporation doesn’t abuse CorpSec for its own ends, all the others will.
While the Corporate Security Agency is not as omnipresent as BuReloc, it still permeates the country, with jurisdiction over all corporate land in the US, which is quite a lot, considering the mallplexes, arcologies and company towns where most people live. CorpSec’s prestige did take a blow when the Domestic Security Agency, its top investigative branch, was given its own place in the Justice Dept. alongside CorpSec itself. Now CorpSec supplies the best of the “troopers” on the Street: elite and effective personnel, authorized and equipped to operate in lieu of military or police support.
Each corporation has its own pet CorpSec units—official teams of the unified force carefully filled with loyalists and agents on the payroll to augment its own security forces. And, thanks to the ISA, CorpSec teams have the right to go wherever they want, even into your bedroom closet, to find whatever they want—like children.
CorpSec teams are ruthless, and shoot those who interfere with their investigations. Once CorpSec agents have the kids in custody, they tum them over to the parent organization. What is done with them there varies from corporation to corporation, but it is never pleasant.
CorpSec shares access to the ‘Raptors’ with the ISA Agents. Some of these Evolved kids help CorpSec because they truly believe in the corporate dream,or because they think they are helping their friends—CorpSec has a cure, right?—and some for the sheer joy of chasing other children. No one likes a Raptor. CorpSec agents don’t like them. Other kids don’t like them. Even the execs don’t like them, because they don’t truly understand them, and what the corporations don’t understand, they fear. Nevertheless, the corporations have always been good at winning loyalty, and it’s not that tought to win the heat of a vulnerable, idealistic kid.
