"He's not wrong, though," Delta counters. "Charon Industries is an extreme powerhouse here on the planet. Most people don their first Charon product moments before they are taken out of the hospital after their birth, and we are typically bound to them until death. Charon heads up the certification process for all helmet techs, whether we're working Charon products or not. Granted you have to get smaller licenses to work with other companies' systems, but it's Charon that holds the power. Hell, the corp has powerful standings in a number of major cities, and it's own undercity. C4-R0N is considered one of the most economically stable and balanced places on the planet, as well as one of the more secure ones." Again he must shake his head, because it's all so weird to be talking about. "There's also rumors that we might end up at war with Zanzibar again in the near future. They staged what one might consider a minor attack on us a while back. And the UNSC? It does nothing. Adaptive is a major source of fuel for interstellar travel and so they let the corps do what they want for the sake of that. We're one of a surprisingly small number of planets where slavery is basically legal, despite the fact that it is extremely illegal. Actually, it's flat out illegal in all legal codes established on all human colony worlds. Yet it's still practically openly practiced on a large area of our world."
