Even more reason to send Schwarzenegger back to Hollywood, or better yet, Austria.

We Europeans don't need Arnold either. So just keep him. Or perhaps George Bush still needs someone for his mission to Mars....

That could work. He can meet Kuato and release the oxygen hidden in million year old glaciers to create a breathable atmosphere. Plus we can get rid of Ronny Cox in the process.

Reference to "Horizon" - the lady who was in charge of giving General Saito (San-Fran-NAzi) a public relations makeover was one of their top people [Vaguely remembered from "Threats 2"]
And her Father was a Senator... I am reasonably sure the shadowtalk inferred that the reason he was elected was the public image wizardry that was perfromed on him by Horizon. This all sort of ties in with the "This is the New Big-Evil" - Horizion is now, apparently, _the_ PR company, they're gifted with marketing, superbly skilled at wireless jiggery-pokery/visual spam (?) [SR4] and encourage their employees to "improve themselves". Does anyone else look that that and think "souless media frenzy made corporate?". Hmmm -Tir |

I was a little frustrated that the SR4 BBB didn't mention the name of the "former simsense star" at the helm of Horizon. Was this mentioned somewhere else? I hardly expect it was intended to be a secret so why not mention it in the corporate description block like they did for Damien Knight? :(

I'm a bit bugged by Horizon my self. It's always been rpesented as damn near impossible to make the jump from AA to AAA, and these guys seem to have come up form A status. Anyone know hos they scored a court seat? Just seems like they were trying to shuffle things up a bit and decided to bring these guys up. Perhaps I'm just bugged by the current lack of personality, or identity of the corp might be a better way to put it. Hopefully that will be remedied soon with Corp Downloadv.2.0 or whatever.

So far, it makes no sense. How they could rise to AAA status? Who are their clients? How can they survive as a AAA only by doing PR?

What books was Horizon mentioned in before SR4? Somehow I'd never heard of them before that...

Media, PR, consumer goods.... hmmm.... looks like the Azzies might have some competition for 'most annoying corporation'.
Although I have to agree with everyone else, these guys seem to have come out of no where. I have never seen a mention of them previous to SR4 and System Shock, and the tidbits they give are less than satisfying. |
