I've got two ideas I'm circling:

The People's Republic of .EXE-A Cold War era AI that bloomed in the Maunsell Sea Forts and now serves as a reluctant information broker in return for being allowed to live.

I'm also looking at something involving Manod Mawr, the Welsh mine where the National Gallery's stock was hidden during World War II. Which in the game world would be an active cultural 'seed vault' and somewhere the Company is very eager to get into.

Also have half ideas about Dinorwig Power Station ('So what's in the Turbine Hall?' 'Excalibur.' '...WHAT?!')

And possibly a version of the Strategic Steam Reserve which is basically a free-floating, on rails nation inside a nation.

Wow, these are a lot of very ripe ideas for sure. I just love the name "The People Republic of .EXE" too. Immediately got my attention.

:) If I can land the Manod Mawr thing, I've got the makings of something about the Artisan, a distributed intelligence which is essentially the Fae that's been connected to art in the UK for centuries. The Artisan spreads out from Manod Mawr when the National Gallery is refilled and each element of it can mimic one type of art. So one is a painting, one is a podcast etc...There's some fun to be had there with them as a defence system for the country against the Corp and also a really terrifying iteration of the fae.
