Elize discovers a rather unimpressive home page for the Starcrown Heights Welcome Center. It describes their commitment to helping those struggling in the local area, but it is phrased rather vaguely, never really mentioning Starborn by name. One page shows a picture of two people standing in front of the building, all smiling. Elize recognizes John Wick instantly, with his wire rim glasses and professor-like appearance. The young black woman is identified as Juniper Lane, Legal Consultant. There are also several commendations from people expressing gratitude for past assistance.
Only one person, Sam Walton, leaves a proper email address in his thank you note. There is no email address for the center itself, only a phone number and address.

Juniper Lane, at least, was quite real. She had a Facebook page, a long history with other established charities, and all evidence pointed her to being an Ambrosia native who graduated Summa Cum Lauda from Ambrosia University. Elize even finds references to her ex husband (Monty Fredericks) and small children (Elizabeth and Jacob).
A search for 'Sam Walton' directs her to the Wikipedia page for the 20th century businessman who founded Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. However, his email address narrows it down to a Chronos student named 'Samson Walton.' Walton graduated Ambrose Oakmont High School, is currently attending Chronos on a sports scholarship, and is currently second string on the Watchmen football team. On Facebook, he describes his major as Economics, and praises God regularly for having helped guide him to this crossroads. He mentions the Starcrown Heights Welcome Center twice, both times thanking them for helping look after his mother and sister in his absence. Another search confirms that Ambrose Oakmont High School is the only public school regularly accepting students from Starcrown.
Alexander Chronos, on the other hand, has so much information on him and forefathers, Elize quickly finds herself overwhelmed. However, two peculiar things become clear over time. The first is that every Alexander Chronos has been infamously reclusive. (There are more than a few conspiracy web sites about this.) The second noteworthy fact is that Chronos Consolidated is possibly the most reliable business venture in American history. The Chronos family has been investigated for insider trading and corruption more than once, but the case was always dropped due to lack of evidence. Their website attributes their uncanny success due to their recruiting practices. Chronos Consolidated owns and operates one of the finest schools in the country, and regularly recruits openly on other campuses around the country.
Elize finds only the sort of criticisms typically leveled at any other successful American mogul.
