CYBERPUNK 2077.

in continuity with claudette's CP2K77 verse.

jake park is a lone, wandering nomad that was formerly the son of one of the wealthiest businessmen in night city. the prodigal son & heir to an increasingly wealthy multi-national packaging company (Park Industries) that developed packaging for various industry powerhouses in the americas and south korea. with subsidiaries in landscaping and real estate. at the age of 20, he was infamously disowned by his father and went "missing" to the public eye for more than 5 years. at 26, he returned to civilization, welcomed back & supported by his mother; trying to restart his life with a new goal in mind: helping the Tolowa Dee-ni’ and jodes & thelas nations to broker a lucrative, world-changing contract with biotechnica, and a brilliant botanist: dr. claudette morel. within the first decade of the jodes nomads settling throughout california, conducting salvage operations and brokering construction contracts with megacorporations, they allied with Indigenous Tribes primarily operating out of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s territory in the Tahquitz Canyon, wherein various neighboring Indigenous Nations worked together, surviving peacefully beyond NUSA’s reach ever since the USA dissolved. Indigenous people and their sovereign territories were ignored or outright abandoned by the federal government and Free States after the collapse. as america’s national forests and rivers began to burn,  dry up,  NUSA chose to prioritize urban redevelopment, americentrism, military inflation and corporatism in the city-states. corrupt news outlets failed to report on the government’s racist neglect suffered by America’s Indigenous peoples.  western civilization quickly forgot about the true "americans." many Indigenous nations across the americas (and the world) anticipated this, as the previous US federal and state governments had historically enforced a genocidal apocalypse upon Indigenous peoples and colonial victims for centuries. they began organizing, networking, and brokering alliances with Indigenous organizations globally, before and after the collapse. resources, technology, datashards, and skill shards were distributed among all Indigenous peoples, sharing knowledge over the course of more than a century (between 1989 and 2077), with the aid of nomad nations like the jodes and pro-indigenous independent companies like biotehnica and metacorp. they continue to nurture and protect the americas’ growing wilderness with the assistance of nomad nations, cultivating environmental science and agroecology, as the jodes search for old knowledge and valuable salvage that were lost after the collapse.   the contract with biotechnica would allow for a new era of industry handled by indigenous nations and nomads. the potential for seaweed and aquatic algae as a cheap, bountiful food and energy source that would be able to grow one billion tons of resources in just 6 months; including dry food, biofuel, bio-plastics, carbon-capture, and fertilizer. undersea agriculture can potentially be commercialized to provide a cheap alternative food source to the insects raised in protein farms, and aid with marine restoration to rebuild the local fish population. it would change canada and NUSA's energy industry. royalties mass-distributed to the tribes. jake park became involved because he wanted to support their cause, returing to night city in order to ask his family's blessing to retake his place as the heir to their entire legacy. on one condition: they help him see this contract through.
