In 2047 TriOptimum achieves a controlling interest in remaining American corporations over its rival Tetracorp.

On January 18th, 2048 a now notorious turncoat Executive, Colter Reeves, left a TriOptimum Grove with a patented Nox-Synthesis seed. Four months late, reversed-engineered Tetracorp brand moonlit corn went first to market.

On October 8th, 2060 Hackers working for Tetracorp discovered a list of TriOptimum board members and ransomed the corporation. An exchange was agreed upon for a substantial deposit of mineral rights in Mexico.

At an unknown date of an unknown year, Tetracorp flees the United States to avoid being absorbed. They then began to operate at a lesser capacity out of Eastern-Europe.
