Actually, I see Renraku's acquisition of a part of the former-Fuchi as
something lots of investors would look at and go, okay, take a breath, they
are stabilizing themselves. Someone who goes out a "purchases" a third of a
former megacorp has at least some potential investment value to it still.

Personally, I still want to know the fall-out of what is going to happen in
Japan. Sure what was lef tof Fuchi-Pan-Asia is now a part of Renraku, but
that still makes one less megacorp in the nation. And, second, Yamatetsu left
because the Imperial Advisors and others would not allow Yamatetsu to do
business as normal since they now had a metahuman as their CEO and major
stockholder now.

Though, I am having fun considering the possibilities of what may also be
unleashed soon by the volcano. All of the myths surrounding the basis for
Godzilla and the rest of them. Hmm, Tokyo looks like it's going to be in for
something nasty, and those critters, IMHO, are at the very least Body 10 or in
the Hull 1 range in terms of staying power (Godzilla is a Hull 2 with at least
a Bulwark of 10).
