Cadenza

凯登泽

Cadenza is an island, built single-handedly by the founder of Fairfax Industries, that later became the 50th state of the United States.

McGinnis was already working at Fairfax back then. She remembers being just a kid, afraid she was going to lose her job; everyone else was rattled too, and only Fairfax himself was surprisingly calm.

“Honestly, the rest of us were more rattled than he was. I was just a kid freaking out cause I thought I was going to lose my job, but Fairfax was surprisingly calm. I don't think he expected Cadenza to last forever, he just wanted to make the most out of an opportunity before legislation caught up. Plus the guy gets to say he created one the United States.”

“说实话,我们其他人比他更紧张。我当时只是个吓坏的孩子,因为我以为我要失业了,但是菲尔法克斯出奇地冷静。我觉得他没指望凯登泽会永远存在下去,他只是想在立法出台前充分利用这个机会。而且,他还说他成立了美国的一个州。”

— McGinnis, to Haze

Haze once asked her about it, and reckoned that for someone who cares about legacy, founding a state with his own hands is probably worth more than money.

“when you're someone who cares about legacy as much as he does, that's probably more valuable than money.”

“当你像他一样关心遗产时,这可能比金钱更有价值”

— Haze, to McGinnis

In the years since, Fairfax Industries has tried to use the “Fair Tax Bill” to win back its sovereignty over the island before the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court is poised to rule on the Fairfax, Fair Tax Bill next session. Will our 50th state remain in the Union? Or will Fairfax Industries successfully regain it's soverignty over the island of Cadenza…only time will tell.”

“最高法院将在下届会议上就菲尔法克斯公平税收法案作出裁决。我们的第50个州能否继续留在联邦?菲尔法克斯工业公司能否成功重新夺回对凯登泽岛的主权?一切都将由时间来揭晓。”

Deadman Danny once boasted that tooth and claw were never going to hold a candle to Cadenza-made steel.

“Silver, tooth and claw were never going to hold a candle to Cadenza made steel”

“西尔芙,利齿与爪子根本比不上卡登扎打造的钢铁。”TL

— Deadman Danny, to Silver

He has also mentioned a corporate retreat on the island that he must attend.

“Apologies there is a corporate retreat on cadenza that I must attend.”

“抱歉,我得去卡登扎参加一场公司团建。”TL
