CROSS’S DAY JOB
‘By night’ ( figuratively ) Cross is a fixer ━ pretty plain and simple. Not one of the glitzy & kitschy fixers who will get you pull at the Afterlife, but a fixer with a strong institutional background. A kingpin, essentially, an influential figure who will give you a great upfront payment but will certainly deny involvement at the first sight of an inquisitive Media.
But by day Cross, or Serena, is the acting Executive Director of the Night City Port Authority ━ a governmental agency which oversees trade, transport, real estate, and infrastructure regarding Night City’s Ports.
Initially founded in 2030, the Port Authority was formed as the successor agency to the Night City Harbor Authority, following the conclusion of Harbormaster Mahan Jones’ term of service. Jones’ Harbor Authority was efficient, but effectively independent from Night City. As such, it became in the interests of City Council and the Mayor to reign in the rogue Harbor Police. The secondary objective of the Port Authority was to unite services in Del Coronado Bay to San Morro Bay. This included the annexation of the San Morro Bay Cargo & Container Port.
The N.C. Harbor Police was retained as a separate agency, largely operating in the same way as the NCPD operates. The Harbormaster thus became responsible for enforcement of Night City’s maritime laws while the Port Authority handled planning, infrastructure development, and trade logistics.
Currently, the Authority participates in a joint partnership of several other Night City agencies as part of the Night City Customs Commission. Of which, each department head of their respective agencies holds a seat on the Commission's Board. Represented are the Night City Corporate Relations Bureau, Internal Revenue Service of Night City, Commerce Agency, the Office of the Night City Treasurer, and the Port Authority. Each, of course, is sponsored by one of Night City’s major corporation ━ Cross being sponsored by NightCorp for example.

October Weather Lore Sayings From the Old Farmers Almanac:
•Much rain in October, much wind in December.
•As the weather in October, so it will be in March.
•Warm October, cold February.
•If October brings much frost and wind, then January and February will be mild.
•When birds and badgers are fat in October, a cold winter is expected.
•When it freezes and snows in October, January will bring mild weather. If it is thundering and heat-lighting, the winter will resemble April in temper.
•A good October and a good blast,
So blow the hog-acorn and the mast.
•When deer are gray in coat in October, expect a severe winter.
•Thunder in October signifies great winds and a dearth of corn.
•If in October many fall leaves wither and hang on the boughs, it betokens a frosty winter and much snow.
•In cold, long winters, rabbits are fat in October and November. In mild and pleasant winters, they are poor in those months.
•Gnats in October are a sign of long, fair weather.
•Full moon in October without frost, no frost till the full Moon in November.
•If we don’t get our Indian summer in October or November, we will get it in the winter.
•Ice in October that will bear up a duck foretells a winter as wet as muck.
•A hard winter follows a fine St. Denis (October 9th).
•If St. Calixtus’ Day (October 14th) be dry and windy, the winter will be wet, but if it be rainy and still, the harvest will be good.
•If it is fine on St. Gall’s Day (October 16th), it will be fine up to Christmas.
•October 18th marks the start of St. Luke’s Little Summer.
