Local Opposition
Technocracy Command
Hyde Park is a rich, heavily policed neighborhood on the South Side that is home to much of Chicago's intellectuals and the University of Chicago. Technocratic involvement is highly suspected, but the area is closed to Chantry agents.
Great Lakes Naval Base, aka NAVFAC MW, up on the North Shore, is the stronghold of Castar the bastard ItXer. It is the main basic training facility for US Navy Sailors.
Progenitors
The UIC Medical Sciences Research Complex at Taylor and Wolcott is home to numerous leading researchers in the biomedical sciences, and is part of the vast University of Illinois at Chicago campus. Located very close to many different medical colleges, the complex of multiple buildings is part of a vast linked tunnel system, which contains a number of mysterious underground lab areas, such as Building 917, which is kept extremely secure. Local Magi suspect considerable Progenitor involvement.
Syndicate
The Chicago Financial District on LaSalle Street in the Loop is home to countless banks. Looking down from where the street ends is the Chicago Board of Trade, home of the Chicago Stock Exchange. One of the highrises on LaSalle is a Syndicate stronghold, with the Northbank Center being the most likely candidate.
New World Order
The Chicago Emergency Response Communications building is located at Damen and Roosevelt. This facility coordinates all of the Chicago cameras, the 911 and 311 network, and major emergency response. It is also located right across the street from the Chicago area FBI office. The NWO is all over this area. Home of the NWO's BIOC secret lair.
Other Areas
Chinatown - near State and Cermak, straight south of downtown. Possible supernatural Triad gangsters, Nephandi?
Cicero - Chicago near suburb, 90%+ Hispanic, mafia dominated. Syndicate? Vampires?
Argonne National Laboratory - Located in the further suburbs, heavily secure government laboratory. There are technocrats here guaranteed, same with Fermilab in another suburb.
