Context & Historical Background
When exohuman settlers first arrived on VOI 700 D, abundant local water seemed free — until expanding ExoHuman camps tainted wells and springs. In September 2626, Chantal Berkenheim tapped the pristine Arla source and founded Mistspring Water Inc., bottling bulk 5 L and 10 L jerrycans — produced by Bermuda Inc. — for inns, bars, and households.
The 750 mL sealed flask was introduced in December 2626 as an exclusive spin‑off for the Frontier Quickdraws, offering on‑the‑go refreshment.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters
Adventure Hook Example:
- Poisoned Bottles Blackmail: Talia Maren receives a ransom note: pay 10 000 Kourou by next Friday or more Quickdraw goods get laced. The blackmailer claims one water bottle is already lethal. She hires the PCs for a covert op — find the poisoned bottle before it’s pulled, trace how the supply chain was breached, and unmask whether the culprit is an insider. Clues might include mismatched seal stamps in the Receiving Dock, altered ledger lines, a missing refill crate, or Hoos resin on a forbidden mezzanine door. A staged payout sting at the Dispatch Platform could nab the perp — or trigger a desperate sabotage attempt …
