[edit] 300 Troubles

• Supposedly exchangeable for other, unspecified currencies

[edit] Family trees

• Another name for a fennel, a recurring symbol in ThisIsMyMilwaukee materials/lore
• Taken from the (alleged) Voltaire quote, "Plant your family tree in the soil of the arts," which appears in the promotional video and accompanies the image of hands planting a fennel in dirt
• Referenced in phone calls with members of the Milwaukee Tourism Commission, who emphasize that "they belong underground"

[edit] Flare gun

• The recommended weapon for use against Godseed Fragments.
• Available in different sizes - larger ones do more damage.
• Provided for new residents to Milwaukee, along with Rebreathers.

[edit] Go.D.S.E.E.D. Fragments

• Some kind of dangerous creatures which must be defended against.
• The remnants of Project Go.D.S.E.E.D.
• If encountered, use a Flare gun.

[edit] M-Rotors

• A real mystery. Mentioned in a briefly shown piece of text in the Promo video.
• Many callers to the MTC and Mike Russo have asked about these, but their purpose and nature is still largely unknown.

[edit] Project Go.D.S.E.E.D.

According to Terry Nanny in the "This Is My Milwaukee" promo video, Project Go.D.S.E.E.D. was started as "a new god", though at least one of its purposes was to provide energy for the city ^[1]. The project failed and had to be destroyed. It was eventually buried underneath the Canning District.

[edit] Rebreather

• The reccomended defense against Godseed fragments.
• Provided for new residents to Milwaukee, along with Flare guns.

[edit] Rupture Classes

• These appear multiple times throughout the Promo Video
• Range from A (least protection) to Z (highest protection)

[edit] Sector 21

• The Promo Video asks people to stay out it.
• Apparently currently contaminated and covered in Godseed fragments
