The Open Intellect Pacifist Action Network

Carl's second sponsor from the fifth floor: an Intergalactic NFC — Not for Conquest, tax-free, a non-profit — that Mordecai has never heard of, that sponsors no one else, and that sends a yam in a silver box, then a custom head-throwing xistera attachment in an emergency platinum box that Mordecai guesses was the most expensive in the game's history. Its president of Outreach Operations is Dr. P. Hu.

Progression

The Shadow Boxer program is an NFC non-profit owned by the Open Intellect Pacifist Network, one of the party's sponsors (ch. 7, ch. 12) — a yam and Miami on Rosetta's show (ch. 12, ch. 38); proof that the Network employs at least one, likely two, possibly three former Cookbook owners (ch. 13); an Emergency Gold Benefactor Box, seized, with a flyer in it (ch. 48, ch. 49); its members vanish (ch. 50); Orren: former crawlers who want the crawl to fail, now fugitives (ch. 51).
