Built most of Arcadia eco-city infrastructure. Secretly introducing SCA-engineered mycorrhizal organisms for three years. Goal: independence from NAF grid control.
Owns Arcadia's energy infrastructure. Built most of the city. Hired SCA bioengineers through a legitimate academic exchange program and introduced temperate-adapted mycorrhizal networking agents for three years.
Goal: a mycorrhizal network providing energy generation, nutrient cycling, and communication backbone independent of NAF infrastructure. Planning NAF grid independence for twenty years. The SCA wants monitoring capability through the network's chemical signaling. The Calderwoods believe they can strip monitoring after the network establishes. The SCA knows structural removal collapses the system.
