P Corp. is one of the 26 Wings of the City, overseeing District 16. It is first visited by the LCB during Canto VII: The Dream Ending.

Overview

District 16 is renowned for its space-bending Singularity, which is amply used in the buildings of both Nest and Backstreets.[1] District 16 has a notable skyline composed of tall skyscrapers and spires, mainly found within the Nest.

P Corp. is separated into a number of different corporate departments, including the Archival Department, the Martial Department, and the Compression Department. The latter two handle low to medium level threats within the District, although they prioritize those in the P Corp.'s Nest as opposed to those in the Backstreets.

Singularity

P Corp.'s Singularity is connected to the expansion and warping of space. Notably, unlike other space expansion technologies in the City, P Corp.'s Singularity has the aim of creating "the safest place in the world".[2] Items created using the Singularity are highly resistant to damage and maintain their structural integrity regardless of external influences. The more expensive a P Corp. product is, the safer the interior is from harm.

In the District, it is used to ensure buildings are safe from various types of shock. Buildings in the District are noted to have extreme level of elasticity, external damages to them would at most cause them to bend, with total destruction being out of the picture. It is suggested Devyat' Association's Courier Trunks utilize P Corp.'s Singularity: these dimensional containers transport items to a different dimension, leading Faust to theorize that the inside of a P Corp. product is disconnected from the outside world entirely, allowing for full isolation.[2] Similarly to WARP Trains, dimensional containers have strict regulations and guidelines, most importantly that they must under no circumstances be to store living humans. Additionally, the P Corp. Singularity is also noted to be used in a variety of canned goods.[3]

The principle of P Corp.'s Singularity is stated to be similar to the mechanism behind the manifestation of La Manchaland,[2] a park which similarly appears far smaller on the outside compared to its actual size, and which is able to form out of nowhere and disappear in a short amount of time. Furthermore, it is suggested that the P Corp. Singularity was modeled after, or at least inspired by it.

Notable Groups

P Corp. Archival Department

The Archival Department, whose Head Manager is Cesara, are interested in discovering the origin of La Manchaland. After the events of Canto VII, the Archival Department has retrieved the body of the First Kindred of P Corp., Don Quixote, with the likely intent to conduct further research in the Bloodfiend's blood manipulation abilities.

La Manchaland

A phenomenon that materialized in the District 16 Backstreets in October 984. It was designated an Urban Plague three days after its first appearance, and as of December 984, it is currently designated as an Urban Nightmare level threat. It appears to be an amusement park built entirely out of human blood, and is behind a number of disappearances around P Corp. La Manchaland is believed by the Archival Department to be at least two hundred years old, and it has a radius of eight kilometers.

Fanghunt Office

An Office specialized in hunting Bloodfiends. While it is unclear whether the Office is based in the District, many members of the Fanghunt Office joined the expedition for the eradication of La Manchaland, with all of them falling victim to the Bloodfiends of the park.

Trivia

  • P Corp.'s aesthetic is based on Art Deco, a style of architecture and visual arts that flourished in the United States and Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
  • Following an old naming scheme, in Lobotomy Corporation, P Corp. is referred to as Company P. It is explicitly mentioned in the Abnormality log of the Shelter from the 27th of March. The Abnormality presents the first mention of P Corp.'s aim of producing "the safest place in the world", which was further elaborated on during Intervallo V: LCB Regular Check-up.
  • In Canto III: The Unconfronting, Sinclair mentions that his father had signed a deal with P. Corp. regarding some new technology, though specifics were never given.
