WHY IS MONSOON MONSOON:
it would be better for business if delivery needs were sent to the main structure first before being passed to whoever’s best equipped for the job yeah
that's part of it. It's also easier to hire the right people for the job if your company has the muscle to hire all over sornieth. It's also easier to coordinate and inspire your R&D by putting them all in the same lab together even if they're working on very different projects and they're just physically adjacent. (it's a known thing that inventors do better when they see other inventors/inventions, even if it's all completely unrelated stuff.)\
could've gotten together for safety/supply sharing tbh
since they so often go into dangerous places, helpful to have someone on your back

working by their own ideas of justice here, i think, and having a larger presence definitely helps them not get hunted down by things like the old guard of the fire flignt (for example)
since i have the idea that they are, again, supporting the revolution in fire ++ insurgence efforts in plague
groups that were already dealing with…. their respective flights’ Situations™️ who eventually drifted together for communal protection


SUBSIDIARIES:
It does occur to me that it would make sense to have a whole subsidiary specifically for delivering things to water flight. waterproof packaging, water-acclimated couriers, tidal forcasting, all that jazz would call for specialization.
>water— ok i don;t think the current Situation™️ is actually a conflict but i guess they’re here too
look water is next to sornieth nevada, for one, and for a second it's next to lightning, which is also a trainwreck, and for a THIRD, it's next to wind 'absolute freedom' flight. water WANTS to be in here.

perhaps the same is true of Plague, depending on how actively toxic/unhealthy it is for non-plague dragons to enter that space in your lore.
well for non-plague dragons, maybe don’t take a dip in any soop puddles scattered around but otherwise flight territories are pretty safe for non-flight dragons to pass through
>plague. Sornieth Nevada

Ice flight almost certainly requires at least specialized expert couriers and specialized packaging, so that's another opportunity for a subsidiary.
>ice, definitely ice, definitely so, the resurgence of the gaolers, that’s already a plotpoint in my lore— there’s a LOT OF POLITICAL UPHEAVAL over in ice due to the gaolers and moderns clashing in societal and ideological ways, i actually think ice’s company aren’t quite couriers they’re actually guides (but they are willing to! help out and lead couriers through the flight)

Fire too, depending on how hot/ashy it really gets over there in your lore? That could be anywhere from "it's as tame as hawaii" to "It's ridiculous, remember to equip link's red tunic or else you die in minutes"
>fire!! the rebellion! we all know this! a group of dragons dedicated to delivering to the magmablood rebels!

>wind, dragons of great wanderlust, unifying force because of course they are they’re the ones who brought everyone together (metaphorically), kinda, i think


@ VULTURES' WAKE:
I imagine that Vulture Co. and Monsoon Co. have a sort of hate-love relationship. On the one hand, they're direct competitors and therefore natural enemies, on the other hand, their priorities and ideals do rhyme in a way that would garner some mutual respect. On a third hand, I would see each of them having STRONG (and mildly hypocritical) OPINIONS about the other's praxis which would lead to some friction. On a fourth hand, they're stronger when they work together smoothly. I imagine that each HQ has a whole department just for dealing/negotiating with the other.

staff one of the offices at the edge of Vulture territory for hand-offs.

the former nevadan resident (aka that-dragon-with-no-element) as the vultures’ wake relations officer………. that is giving me BRAINWORMS
