New prostitution framework

The pimp profession now has an advanced set of tools available, giving the player an almost endless combination of how he can run his redlight empire. Do you want to use whoring as part of breaking in your slaves? Or is your goal to train up your girls enough to turn them into expensive escorts that deal with Ikaanos' finer clientele - while collecting tips and fraternizing with Spheremasters?

All your slaves can be assigned as prostitutes - as long as they're obedient or corrupted enough. You can either restrict whoring to a single or just a couple of slaves, or run a large stable of working girls that bring home a sizable chunk of cash each night.

• • New location: Medical facility**

The great Medical Facility at Crystal Heights - a beacon of technology and refined medicine, has finally opened after suffering a catastrophic hardware failure (damn those 300-year-old fusion computers).

• The Medical facility offers:*

- Implants. - Plastic surgery. - Healing.

• • New location: Bank of Ikaanos**

The Bank of Ikaanos in Crystal Heights offers a loan at modest interests (roughly 10%) if the MC's Influence is high enough (2000+). You're also able to hire an accountant (Armand Lessor) from this location. Armand will help improving your merchant empire - unless you assign him as janitor or guard.
