HeadCase: VirtFun is a fairly small corporation, operating out of a small
(less than 50 stories) office in Seattle; security on the ground floor
(where people come in for VirtFun's services) is pretty light (some armed
guards), but to get elsewhere in the building takes passcodes, dodging
security cameras, punching through armored doors, and the like. There
are also plenty of guards in case someone hacks the software. It's a
little skimpy on magical protection, though; mainly, their policy is to
detect magic use and kill the mage with a few hundred rounds.

As far as paranoia, they try to be cheerful and friendly to paying
customers, and brief and surly to others (without disturbing the
patrons). They are a nonviolent corp, as those things go; as long as you
haven't actually killed anyone, they'll try to arrest and try you for,
say, being in an area you're not supposed to be, or engaging in Matrix
snooping (their deckers, especially SierraFL, are partial to Trace and
Nuke programs, rather than any sort of black IC). Anyone who kills a
guard or attempts to break into their highest level of security is fair
game, though; to date, thanks to the newness of the corp, only one person
has been axed, for trying to zero the finances; another decker (not
SierraFL) zeroed him.

Hope this is helpful, and glad to see someone's taking charge here! (:3
