"Wait, you have some personal experience with that place?" Might as well try to get some information out.
"Actually used to work with them a year or so ago. Nothing major, I was just a hired contractor. That place is just fucking awful to live and work in, ya know?" He lets out an annoyed sigh. "Doesn't help I made a lot of enemies over there. Just some advice between you and me? Never fucking learn S-Corp's dialect."
[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] It's a hard dialect to learn. Most people are VERY shitty speakers unless they were born and raised in S-Corp. R-Corp's dialect is a lot easier, you even know a few words. Donde esta el bano-
"Why?"
"Just don't. Those bugmen are fucking horrid to work with."
"...Ashley is coming along-"
"OKAY YEAH SEE YOU THERE." He hangs up immediately. Luckily for you, you arrived at your destination. S-ZETA-9, the section of S-Corp's district directly bordering with the Sea. You look outside the window and into the station to see that, despite S-Corp being a company tasked with construction, it's REMARKABLY shitty from a construction standpoint. Pillars are barely holding together, the rails you were traveling on are rusted hunks of junk, the tiles on the floor are cracked...
And there's a giant sea of S-Corp residents roaming around the station, packing the place like sardines. You immediately rush out of the train before they can flood the train cabin you're in. Trying to push past the sea of identical looking men and women with black hair and narrowed eyes is hell on earth and a few times, random people slap your antlers in equal parts annoyance, curiosity, and obvious scorn.
It hurts with every slap. You already hate this place. You now see what Lex was on about.
Eventually, you stumble out into the streets of S-Corp's district.
In contrast to the station you just exited, the streets are remarkably empty. The only thing around you is rows on rows of poorly constructed, sea salt encrusted buildings made out of shoddy faux-wood and stone. The streets are even cobbled with stone which, again, you would suspect that this place would have some better construction.
To the east, you can hear something. A ship's horn blaring. You assume that's where the harbor must be. Breaking into a dead sprint, you immediately rush over to it, not even caring about the weird looks that the few S-Corp residents give you as they see you galloping like...you know what.

The overwhelming smell of SALT, SMOKE, and SEA WATER hits your nose the moment you step into the harbor. The harbor itself is pretty small in the grand scheme. There's only a few large ships, probably five at most, sitting at the docks and a small storage warehouse with a chimney to the north but aside from that? It's just faux-wood docks coated in sea salt and crowds of burly sailors carrying cargo to and from the ships.
"YOU THERE!" A boastful, booming voice calls out to you.
