<P><B>WorldCorp:
<P>
<P>At least we're not Microsoft!
<P>The dazzlingly enormous WorldCorp Inc. started as a small innovative nanotech company with a total of 2 employees: Scara B. King and Jonas Waever. As the company grew, so did Scara's hunger for power, and eventually, the more scientifically inclined Jonas left the company in the greedy hands of Scara B. King, widely renowned as a brilliant businessman but mediocre scientist. Since then, WorldCorp Inc. has only grown larger, and now has branches in many cities. It is estimated that WorldCorp owns somewhere between 50% and 80% of all businesses in PDX Forum City, but their liberal use of complicated bureaucratic procedures and shady business methods makes it difficult to tell. WorldCorp no longer confine themselves to nanite technology, but develop anything from new computer chips to revolutionary fertilizers.

<P>History in Forum City:
<P>2001: WorldCorp was founded by Scara B. King and Jonas Waever. Evil Invasion and That Guy are hired and started working on Black ICE.
<P>2002: Evil Invasion leaves WorldCorp because he is disgusted with Scara's plans for Black ICE. Jonas gets in a fight with Scara about the direction of the company and leaves. Scara continues to expand WorldCorp drastically by buying almost 50% of the city's businesses in less than half a year.
<P>2003: WorldCorp continues to grow and expand into new markets, buying everything in their way. Scara B. King learns of the Firestaff and starts forming his plans to take over the city. Meanwhile, GameSpy commissions WorldCorp to build the ROFL, taking care to hide their true identity.
<P>2004: The WC Intelligence Department discovers part of the truth about GameSpy. WCID catches wind of what Ryan is doing, and Scara acquires Aunt Betty Industries to obtain their labs. Scara expands ABI with a space tech lab in an effort to counter the power of the ROFL.
<P>2004: Scara B. King was banned by Trestkon, with the GameSpy SpaceStation.
<P>2005: The company was dissolved to make way for PDX Bank

<P><B>Presence in Forum City:
<P>
<P>Headquarters
<P>The WorldCorp HQ is located in the Corporate District of Forum City. When leaving the subway, take a right and you'll see the large and intimidating headquarters. The front entrance is guarded by two Large Security Robots and one guard, Kaigen. Two Military Robots patrol the left and right side of the building. The building has four floors (including ground level) and one basement level. Oh, and there's a second basement level that doesn't exist.
<P>
<P>1st floor (ground level):
<P>Reception and Info Center
<P>Toilets
<P>Cafeteria
<P>The first floor has a public access terminal and a reception desk with two PC terminals. Behind the reception desk are the toilets. There are large fish tanks to both sides of the reception desk. There are some steps leading up the fish tanks.
<P>On the western side, there's a corridor leading to a security room, containing both a computer terminal and a security terminal, and some lockers. Past the security room is a staircase, allowing you to go both up to floors 2, 3 and 4, or down to the parking garage.
<P>On the eastern side, there is a cafeteria with two vending machines, containing a variety of food and drinks, and another public access terminal.
<P>From both the western and the eastern side, a large staircase leads up to a walkway leading to the elevators. The first elevator leads to the parking garage, while the second elevator allows access to levels 2, 3 and 4.
<P>
<P>2nd floor:
<P>Management and Accounting
<P>Electronics Research and Development Laboratories
<P>The retinal scanner requires you to have access level Fang/1B. The corridor leading from the elevator has another retinal scanner leading to the electronics R&D lab. You need access level Insight/2C. To the left, there's a small conference room with two whiteboards. To the right, there's a storage area. When you go straight ahead from the entrance, you'll enter the actual labs.
<P>The first door to your left holds the Surveillance Technology division, with a closet containing some goodies, and a bunch of PC terminals. Going past surveillance tech, there's a T-junction. When going left, you'll find the Corona Project. Access level Vision/6C is required to enter. To the right are both Artificial Intelligence and Integrated Systems. Integrated Systems are working on the EMP pistol, while Artificial Intelligence is the place where the AI Black ICE operates.
<P>Back to the main corridor, the first door to your right is a storage area. The second door to your right is the Data Storage area, requiring access level Domination/5D.
<P>Past those, you'll find the Administration area, requiring access level Fang/1B. Lots of offices and PC terminals are located to the left, while Mr. Clark's office is located to the right.
<P>At the far end of the main corridor is the accounting department, requiring access level Shield/0A. There's not much here other than two PC terminals.
<P>
<P>3rd floor:
<P>Main Security Center
<P>Nanotech Research and Development Laboratories
<P>Genetical Studies Laboratories
<P>The Biotech lab is located to the right. You need access level Insight/2C. The first corridor to your right leads to the Genetical Studies lab. There is a repair bot to your left when you enter these labs. Moving on, there is another room to your left, containing a medical bot. On the other end of the corridor are the Nanite Technology labs. The first room to the left holds some red greasels. The second room, to the right, holds four large tanks filled with viral nanites. At the end of this corridor, there are some PC terminals, and you can continue to the right into another corridor. This corridor has a room protected by laser alarms to the left. DP is located in the room to the right. At the end of the corridor is a room holding a broken Universal Constructor.
<P>The Main Security Center is located to the left of the elevator. You need access level Talon/3B to enter it. There are some security guards and goodies in there, in addition to a security terminal.
<P>
<P>4th floor:
<P>Executive Director's Office
<P>Conference Room
<P>The Conference Room is located behind two doors controlled by a keypad. It features a large table surrounded by 12 chairs, and there are some sofas as well. There is also a vending machine supplying drinks.
<P>The Executive Director's Office is where Scara works. There are two PC Terminals here, one belonging to Scara, and the other to mr. Kinsley. Scara is surrounded by guards and automated gun turrets. There is also a secret hidden elevator, leading to the parking garage. The room leading to this elevator contains a medical bot and a security terminal. There is also a hidden safe behind the fireplace. This safe contains your rewards when following the WC storyline.
<P>
<P>Secret basement:
<P>What? That doesn't exist!
<P>Not listening, eh? Oh well...
<P>It can be accessed by lock picking below the buttons in the main elevator (the one with floors 1, 2, 3 ect), then using the code 796355 or multitools. It is not mandatory to visit in either story, but contains sidequests in both. If you bring Dr. Dumb Lunatic's schematics from the sewers, you can create the Quad Rocket Launcher before ABI.
<P>The Sublevel can also be reached through a locked duct in the parking lot. The key to unlock the panel can be found on King Kashue's desk, or is given to the player by Kylie or Scara B. King when you have to infiltrate PDX HQ for WorldCorp. This route is one of the quicker paths to find one of the easter eggs, and get into the Sublevel, considering you circumvent almost all security measures in the Sewers, bar a single spiderbot.
<P>Rydberg Field
<P>Although this area is not reachable in-game, WorldCorp uses this area to house WC Logistics. This is a cover for a mercenary training facility. During DXI, Scara orders these men to take control of the city.
<P>This is a reference to Krypt's Deus Ex fan mission Rydberg Field.
