The invaders

INTERGULA

Consultant Plinc serving coffee on a tray

Customer Service

Consultant Plinc

Employee of the month for three hundred months running. Doesn't command fleets or sign contracts: he reads the script. Everything a customer says is very important, which is why it goes in the queue.

Measures success in capacity per minute. Takes the field when collectors miss their targets and considers resistance a failure in material preparation.

Director of Compliance
Acquisitions

Director of Compliance

A walking filing safe with rubber-stamp hands and a drawer for a mouth. His job is to keep Bananistan classified as a harvest, whatever it takes.

Campaign

Eight chapters

Later chapters stay sealed until launch.

Prologue

Unauthorized delivery

The welcome in the square turns into a pickup attempt. The agency gets a new phone, which starts ringing before it's plugged in.

Act I · Bunchville

Keep the streets open

The invaders try to shut the capital's access roads. Markets, services and evacuation have to keep running, whatever the shift costs.

Act II · Maturia Jungle

Names in the roots

Collectors hunt for the Mother Bunches and map the root network. Someone has to reach the records of the first generations before they do.

Act III · Rust-7

Property in use

The workshops become an assembly line for the fleet's machines. The Executive Blender comes in person to take over processing.

Thick roots, ruins of old public offices and trails only the Archer knows.

Workshops, cranes and smokestacks. Everything there is property in use, Bananator included.

Mount Ember04

Mount Ember

Basalt, lava and Dragana's bloodline. Heating up requires a permit.

Fermentation Valley05

Fermentation Valley

Glass tanks, copper pipes and mushrooms nobody should taste. Banachemist disagrees.

Capital Under Invasion06

Capital Under Invasion

The same Bunchville, with acquisition clamps on every corner. Case in progress.

On the day of the invasion, the other offices were debating whether it was a war, an illegal import or a health inspection matter. The agency went to answer the call.
