Welcome to Gaia! ::

Investigative Office Union (IOU)
Organization (Industry)
The IOU is concerned with one thing and one thing only: uncovering the truths of the world. The group is dedicated to seeking out hidden secrets and uncovering falsified stories in order to understand the truth of an event. They are a collection of businesses that focus on investigative work: journalists, detectives, prosecutors and so on. They hope to uncover all the truths and lies of the world. What their clients do with the “truth” is up to them.

Benefits: Members benefit by being a part of the shared office building and getting an office of their own, provided they chip in for some rent. Members are expected to help other members in their work if they can provide assistance in their field (use the abilities of your colleagues and provide help to them yourself).

Members may also participate in IOU recreational activities such as the office softball team and the office holiday parties.
Drawbacks: The reputation of the IOU might fluctuate between well received by the public and unpopular depending on the group’s successes and failures. Your own reputation may benefit but could also suffer greatly due to your association with the IOU.

There is also a danger in investigating powerful businesses and individuals that could land you in trouble.
Blacklist: None yet
Whitelist: None yet
Recruitment: Submit a business application for the group to review, must work in the same building as the other businesses or be willing to relocate to it (can also work for other members’ businesses to qualify for membership). Our office is located in NHC Pinnacle Square, office building 3B
