It really was a chocolate themed restaurant with a small exhibition dedicated to the invention and smuggle of the original Selvadoradan Xocolatl. Opening day was reserved for local politicians and celebs as well as the management of Urban Farms, CyberLife and Great Lakes Trading, the city’s major taxpayers.

Jin: “Yeah. With all the downsides being underage in Natural Sciences brings. Like, about the only reproduction method the professors felt comfortable teaching me about was parthenogenesis.”
