Overview

A distributed trading network with no official leadership structure and no ideological commitments beyond the transaction. Freemarket operatives work every zone: Yara on the Helixion campus, Devi in the residential blocks, Ketch in the drainage tunnels, and Oyunn managing logistics from the Black Market Warrens. Ink is their master forger and information broker. Oyunn is quietly centralising power — a move that will fracture the distributed model. The Freemarket sells to all factions simultaneously.
