View source for Geological Society

The Geological Society is a two-floor research institute in [[La Daya City]], in the La Daya
Region. The location features in EvoCreo 2.

The society researches geological formations around the world, and its ground floor is open
to the public with an outreach team whose stated goal is sharing the findings. Upstairs the
work is climate research, and the staff are blunt about its limits: Robert says they do good
work but nothing changes unless it is acted on, Tatiana names the conflict of interest
between the research and corporate interests, and Jang argues that large scale change will
not come while politicians are bought and paid for by the corporations doing the polluting.
A vote to release the latest atmospheric temperature figures is carried while the player is
in the room. Adam runs a counter downstairs that trades tools for rare minerals rather than
money.
