Mistspring Water Inc. set out to bottle the crystal‑clear outflows of the Arla spring. Early on, thirsty pioneers shrugged—water was everywhere. But as industrial runoff and exohuman settlements tainted local supplies, everyone scrambled for those sealed flasks. The vending machines of the Frontier Quickdraw Network stacked them at 6 K a pop, and bulk 5 L/10 L jerrycans at 7 K/14 K for homes and businesses — steep, but hey, frontier life is thirsty work.

• September 2626: Chantal taps the first springs and sets up gravity‑fed cisterns.
• Late 2626: First 750 mL flasks hit Frontier Quickdraw shelves — locals scoff until summer drought hits.
• 2627–2630: Demand surges as mining runoff and booming settlements foul wells. Bulk orders roll in from taverns, trading posts, even small factories.

• 2631 Peace Treaty: Federal Confederation nationalizes major water sources and closes Mistspring Water Inc..
• Post‑2631: Water gets distributed through Federal Allotment Centers in Firetown and public Federal Fountains in Morningstar, New Kourou, and Hope. Environmental regs restore natural water quality; Mistspring bottling plant shutters, held in reserve for emergencies.

• Quickdraw Retail – 750 mL sealed flasks stocked at Frontier Quickdraws for on‑the‑go refreshment.
• Bulk Supply Contracts – 5 L and 10 L jerrycans sold wholesale to taverns, settlements, and small factories in the Free State.
• Courier Network – Daily dispatch via New Kourou Courier Service carts; Morningstar and Hope depots handle cross‑region distribution.
• Emergency Reserve – Post‑2631, unopened crates stored in sealed vaults for federal emergency allocation.

• Health & Sanitation – Mistspring’s success spurred frontier-wide investments in water treatment and public sanitation.
• Economic Lifeline – Bulk shipments sustained drought‑hit settlements, making the plant a cornerstone of regional resilience.
