Ajacks of Megropolis Three

Economic Privilege within Corporate Control Systems

Description

A faction of miners from Megropolis Three, the Ajacks are metallurgical laborers whose identities unlock the full functionality of Company-issued ConSumCards. Their access privileges make them essential to the Company's record-keeping systems, granting them exclusive purchasing power within the corporate bureaucracy. Operating within the oppressive structure of the Underground Economy, they represent a privileged stratum among miners—not through wealth but through institutional affiliation. Their role in this narrative centers on identity theft; Mandrell weaponizes this requirement, forcing the Doctor to impersonate an Ajack to withdraw talmars anonymously. Though their internal hierarchy remains unseen, their external function as gatekeepers to Company resources makes them strategic targets in rebellion planning.
