It's no big secret that Soviet Petrochemical has dealings with the Cleaners, but catching the trail isn't easy.
Because the Cleaners are also divided into hierarchies.
The lowest level Cleaners are basically colluding with local underground black-market doctors, one kills and disassembles augmented bodies, the other sells the stolen goods.
But the goods from these channels are all low-grade cheap augments, while slightly better ones are collected by the base leaders, refurbished and then sold to more legitimate hospitals, like ERO used to be.
Finally, those regular and mid-range augments that can still be used normally are sent to the Taiping Continent base, to be resold as stolen goods to Soviet Petrochemical, and the volume is often large, with numerous airships finding it inconvenient to pass through Dog Town.
