These are the intel fragments that were revealed by The Business during the Fortuna ARG.
Intel 1: Repossession
The Business: "Repossession. Nasty business. The Solaris need cybernetic upgrades to protect themselves from the hostile Vallis climate. And guess who supplies the upgrades? Nef Anyo and the bloody Taxmen. We're forced to do the work, and then we pay the Taxmen for the 'pleasure' of hard labour. Because of these mandatory body mods, we all live in debt to our Corpus overlords. It's a vicious cycle we cannot escape through obedience.
"In Fortuna, we live in fear of 'repossession.' At any hour of the day, Nef can send one of his vile repo squads down here to 'take back what's theirs'. Limb by limb, piece by piece, the Taxmen will rip out your cybernetics until there's nothing left of you.
"We must fight back, Outworlders. Because if we lose, we lose everything."

Intel 2: Brain-shelving
The Business: "The Taxmen have a disturbing protocol they call 'brain-shelving.' For major debts or acts of defiance, the repo squad will tear you apart and keep your brain 'tanked' in a storage facility. Your brain will stay there until your friends or family can clear away your initial debt. Then the Taxmen will graciously release what's left of you.
"And when — and only when — your loved ones can afford to buy a new rig to house your brain, you'll return to a functional, conscious life.
"Absolutely dreadful."

"Well… she was our leader. Eudico put an end to Solaris United after Deck 12. "No more muckin' blood on my hands," she said.
