Have a cell in New York, headed by [[Uppercrust]],<ref name="crustycrab">"They've also got a cell here in New York. One of their leaders, Uppercrust, is dying. Same medical problem that led to his trigger event. He was the easiest to work with - one of our contractors for the large-scale force fields at sensitive port locations. His failing health was a small factor in why Brockton Bay was hit as hard as it was. Can't get around to his work sites. Now you've got splinter factions vying for his seat." - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14752783 <nowiki>PRT: Department Sixty Four, thread II [Worm Quest] - Page 82</nowiki>]</ref> running one of the least violent and most professional cells.<ref name="violence">"Exactly what it says in the files. Varies from case to case. Bastard Son's gang is very nearly as bad as the Slaughterhouse Nine. Uppercrust are strictly business, with no villainous activity we can detect. Others fit in at different points along the spectrum. I would recommend you do some investigation, get a sense for how this particular group operates, and then get in touch with me when you've decided what you're doing. You can call in a favor, I won't hold it against you, given the situation, you just need to decide what that favor will be. A permanent increase to your roster, building, staff, addition to a department? Or even a serious strike squad, if you think you have a good battle plan." - [[Department Sixty Four]], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14752783 PRT Quest thread ii p82]</ref> Uppercrust was one of the contractors for the large-scale force fields at sensitive port locations across the United States coasts, including in [[Brockton Bay]].<ref>The forcefield defense was provided by Uppercrust (not to be confused with Upperhand), in one of the more neutral (as opposed to hostile) cases of Elite dealings with the PRT. Unfortunately, Uppercrust was ailing as 2011 rolled around and his attention to the various defense systems along the coasts was suffering as a consequence. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/5h4rzv/what_roll_did_the_elite_have_in_brockton_bay/daxgr0n/ reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref><ref name="crustycrab"/>
