CONCLUSION

---

In the vacuum of post-civil-war Rheinland left by ALG due to their sympathies, a number of company higher-ups decided to roll the dice at going independent. The newly formed company, Sirius Entsorgung (aka, sirius-wide clean-up) aimed at picking up industrial contracts left by their predecessor, the foremost being the clean-up of their previous headquarters at Dortmund Station.

As the young company broke its teeth on a low-stakes clean-up, additional clients were found abroad in Kusari, who were interested in importing foreign expertise to avoid unnecessary conflicts of interest. The above-board reputation of SEO ensured a smooth entry into the Keiretsu-controlled markets, ultimately resulting in a successful clean-up of Osaka Storage Facility. The growing relationship between SEO and Samura further ensured that the young company could now bid from within the closed market, allowing them to secure a clean-up contract of Roppongi Station in a leading capacity. An existing relationship with Interspace Commerce and prior holdings in Liberty further ensured that IC investors had no complaints about the situation.

Meanwhile, back home in Rheinland, the Dortmund clean-up entered into its sunset phase, with the station towed away from prying eyes into the Ruhrfeld. The next phase of a major clean-up, this time in Cologne, was already underway by the time the company board of directors decided to incorporate within the Federal Empire. Outreach programs, such as the acquirement of closely-guarded Golem-class vessels for ALG, and supplying Kruger refineries with Uranium, aimed at ensuring a favorable reception within ministry offices. Additionally, co-operation with Military and Police elements regarding the Karlsruhe site clean-up and storage leasing on Eupen satisfied the suspicious nature of Rheinland's foremost law enforcement.

Despite both major and minor efforts to reinforce its reputation in Rheinland, SEO ultimately failed to incorporate, with an almost unanimous (//I don't actually know for sure, don't kill me) vote against the measure at a bi-annual inter-ministry meeting. While concrete feedback was never provided to the board of directors, Herr Adam Linhardt, the Vorsitzender at the time, believed that the ultimate reasoning lay in the challenges to existing corporate monopolies. Despite a working relationships with all contemporary business and security leaders in Rheinland, SEO was to be relegated to the voting archives, as existing corporate and security structures were only just beginning to stabilize after the civil war.

Bitter and disillusioned with the success of future operations, Linhardt immediately called for a board vote, and rebranded the company as an independent entity, aimed at operating in all four Houses. Furthermore, the previously lauded Koepchen Depot was sold back into ALG hands to continue the Karlsruhe clean-up, and Eupen Handelsplatz was moved out of Rheinland space to ostensibly focus on the Rho gate clean-up. In reality, Herr Linhardt has already decided to liquidate the company, but did not want to leave the board or even many of the engineering experts without a reasonable exit strategy. With ALG relations remaining relatively cordial throughout the split, many marketing analysts assume that a buyout is on the horizon, though other elements predict a slow brain drain, or a split into many smaller co-operatives focused on various aspects of the SEO vision.
