The Remnant Contingency

by JustRandomGuy

After some recent events, I feel that I need to take the crossing of 2 worlds, or a crossover, with the utmost seriousness. These documents will outline possible scenarios and what I believe to be good actions to take to stay alive if Remnant and Earth do end up crossing paths one day. If the world is going meet theirs, I'm going to be prepared.

14. The Schnee Dust Company

I've been getting better with the guns I bought. I'm going to keep the Remington inside the glass case for the moment so that I don't accidentally shoot anyone with it. I'm thinking about a lot of things for the moment, but I hope that by my next set of notes I'll have things planned out.

The Schnee Dust Company, or the SDC for short, is the number one company relating to Dust, whether by exporting and importing to mining the mineral itself from the mines. The company has even helped with Atlas' army with making the Atlesian Paladins-290. Imagine them to be the Google of Dust. They control a huge majority of the market they're competing in, but like most companies, the SDC is known for its fair share of sketchy stuff.

At first, it didn't start like this though. The company was founded by Nicholas Schnee after the Great War in Mantle but passed it on to his son by law, Jacques Schnee. This is the man I want to focus on right now. This man is the literal definition of a greedy businessman, only caring about how well the company is doing and instead of what he does is actually ethical. The company has been linked to the deteriorating state of Vacuo due to destruction needed to find Dust. It has also been implied that the SDC has worked with criminal groups by how they work with "questionable business partners".

Finally, the most controversial issue relating to the SDC is how the Dust is mined. While this sounds like one issue, in reality, it's a bundle of issues sacked together. Faunus discrimination, poor working conditions, hostility with the White Fang, etc. So far the company that used to try to gain people's trust has turned to one where they reversed their view. I bet the SDC is going to have issues when a whole new world is thrown into the mix. I'm willing to bet that protests would start with this kind of harsh labor. Many people would hop to Twitter to state their disdain for the company similarly to many companies who have sketchy backgrounds.

Thanks for reading!

FireIce90: I never noticed that! Thanks for telling me. I just assumed that because no Kingdoms existed in the Dragon Continent that Salem was hiding out there.
