Headquarters

Production headquarters

Production's base, which the Syndicate Council orders self-destructed while the Valtay showrunners tell Zev not to comply.

Story so far

Zev reports that production has received notice from the Syndicate Council telling them to initiate the Headquarters self-destruct, immediately followed by a message from The Valtay showrunners telling them not to comply.

They are obviously not complying — but with warships trading missile barrages and maser blasts in orbit, and with the loyalty of the Mercenaries uncertain, the facility's fate is anything but settled. Zev urges Carl to say what he needs to say quickly, while he still can.

Role

Production facility caught between contradictory Syndicate and showrunner orders.

Relationships

Zev — Works there and reports the self-destruct order
Syndicate Council — Ordered its self-destruct
The Valtay — Showrunners who countermanded the order
