Sedimate LLC. A "farming" company located in Greene County, Pennsylvania. One of the more rural areas of the state, yet maintaining a solid distance from the urban area of Pittsburgh.
The company building consists of its offices and lab, all combined together into one open site of land. The building a relative tall, about three floors in a narrow tower structure. Its architecture obscured by the surrounding trees, building site far away from registered residences. One would have to travel off road into the forest by their lonesome to arrive, making traditional human commutes difficult.
There was nothing traditional about the company's commutes, however. On immediate initial survey of the building itself, one fact made itself immediately known: all of the staff consisted of androids. Floors upon floors of androids surveying about.
The company building was a Connection Office. All operations and work remotely controlled with the help of androids. Workers could be across the entire country, with one simply needing to connect to an android so that they can carry out and conduct this work.
Buildings like this were common occurrence, with many wanting to not leave their houses while still needing to work. Most of the time, technology is optionally provided to company employees upon hiring, if the option made itself available. In the case of Sedimate, its hiring practices suggest that it only takes employees with pre-existing neural technology. Those that either have public models, or have rebranded ones from other companies.
Curiously, all operations of Sedimate LLC occur 24/7. Later data shows that this company takes morning shifts, afternoon shifts, evening shifts, night shifts, and so on. Sedimate LLC may be receiving staff of all schedules, possibly of all time zones as well. The latter is more likely, as it uses physical paper to store its data. Everything is confined to the building itself, with androids having to pick up paper from traditional filing cabinets for its employees... likely a security precaution.
Though, the most curious part of this company is the CEO's office. On the top floor, the office holds an inactive android stylized to look exactly like the man in question. At night, the android remains inactive, suggesting that this was a personal android operational only when the CEO is awake and connected.
The CEO in question living only 5 minutes away from the building. Living as a sole suburban house on a dirt road, land paved in a fresh grassland for it. This was a fresh construction site, most likely with recent renovations.
Terrence Gardner. Age: 36. A man of... average appearance, simply going through his daily routine. Groaning in bed for a few minutes with actively fluttering eyes. Climbing out of bed, walking into his personal bathroom to presumably shower. He comes out of the bathroom after ten minutes. The man is dressed in a pure white bathrobe. Silk. Hood over his head, with hair still lathered in some sort of shampoo. Maybe conditioner.
It should be noted that he possesses no curtains. His exit from the bathroom, all of this is visible from the outside, one able to see him while passing by, one able to see him by just looking in.
One able to see him, indeed. Many safe spots to hide. Simple binoculars are enough to see everything in the house. The isolated nature of Gardner's house is designed as a "disconnected from the bad of society" and "connected to the good of society", a lonely house personally constructed with no neighbors about. Houses like these are high in demand, given the likelihood of cybernetic criminals targeting well populated neighborhoods. Thus, owning this house is an exclusive rarity that suggests Gardner's high wealth.
Prior background and research reveals Gardner's degree in business at the University of [REDACTED]. His graduation over a decade ago. Academic transcripts and behavioral history unavailable at this time, for legal reasons. The time between his graduation and his current position at Sedimate LLC has a six year gap, of which Gardner was promoted to CEO with no working history.
