Play blurb:

Modern industry strides with an unstoppable impetus, spawning technologies and products on a daily basis. HoloGrand is one of the newest, and by far the brightest, star in the high-tech sky. Their novel methods for smelting and casting polarized screens have punched a massive whole in the market, launching a craze for the holographic gadgets created via those screens. The company’s own HoloPad™ has sold millions during the past month alone. Following their rise in success and profit, HoloGrand has established a brand new, heavily robotized facility in Bluefields, Nicaragua. The plant relentlessly expels an ever-increasing amount of produce... and smoke.

We cast ourselves to a small room within the underground floors of the factory. There, a table hosts an uneasy meeting between a couple of HoloGrand’s executive officers and an infiltrator from the action wing of the environmental group Greenwolves.

The ensuing interrogation grows in passion, from an edgy stand-off to a heated argument. Questions and accusations will fall on both sides of the table.
