Bladerunner 2049 Socks
Description: BiBi's was a bar in downtown Los Angeles established sometime before 2049. Outside of the bar, Wallace food stations full of processed synthetic food could be purchased. Flanking both sides of the bar (implied to be part of the bar) were rooms with clouded glass where people could have sex. LAPD Blade Runner K, after his meeting with Luv at the Wallace Corporation to investigate the identity of a long deceased replicant, situated himself outside of BiBi's. The doxie Mariette and her compatriots, just outside of BiBi's, were tasked by Freysa Sadeghpour to find out what K knew about the replicant's child.
Description: The Tyrell Corporation was a high-tech firm primarily focused on the production of androids known as replicants. It was based in Los Angeles and named after its founder Eldon Tyrell. As of 2019, the corporation was headquartered in two large, pyramid-like structures that lie on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Inclinators ran along the outside of the massive structures. In November 2019, Blade Runner Rick Deckard visited the Tyrell Corporation to administer a Voight-Kampff test to Rachael, an experimental replicant and Tyrell's assistant. Tyrell's massive office, where Deckard administered the test had a large automatic shade which lowered with the push of a button. This room also housed an animoid pet owl.
Description: The Nexus-6 were a series of replicants developed by Eldon Tyrell and his genetic design team to be more human than all previous Nexus models. The Nexus-6 was produced by 2018, when a group of combat model Nexus-6 replicants staged a mutiny in the Off-world colonies. This event prompted replicants as a whole to be prohibited on Earth. The following year, a group of Nexus-6 replicants led by Roy Batty hijacked a transport and went to Earth in search of a way to extend their lifespans.
Description: Early in the film, Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard sits down at the White Dragon noodle bar and orders. Before Deckard is whisked away by Edward James Olmos’ character, he has an exchange with the bar’s Sushi Master, who speaks to him in Japanese. While waiting for his food, Deckard takes his chopsticks, breaks them apart, and begins rubbing them together. It might not be Blade Runner’s most iconic scene, but it could be one the film’s most impressionable. Deckard seems comfortable ordering at a Japanese restaurant, so he must know something, right? Blade Runner has become a cultural mainstay, and if you are vaguely interested in Japan, you’ve probably seen it.
Description: Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, and written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos, it is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968). The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work at space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down.
Description: Shimata-Dominguez was created in 1968 by combining the nickel and aluminium smelting and alloying operations of Shimata and Dominguez. Shimata-Dominguez was listed on the World Stock Exchange on November 14, 1971 (WEX:SDC16417). Most of its operations have long operating histories on the Moon, Mars and Phobos under previous owners and operators. Since 2001 Shimata-Dominguez Corporation (SDC) has been undergoing a significant strategic transformation by developing mining activities off-world and by progressively decommissioning its old W-4 and T-14 andys in favor of the smarter Nexus series.
