From March through June 2213, the Meridian Civil Accountability Forum conducted open public hearings into corporate infrastructure liability following the Lakefire Collapse of 2211, broadcasting every session live on both licensed and pirate neural feeds simultaneously — a deliberate choice to prevent any single corponation from controlling access. Over 14 weeks and 62 sessions, testimony from survivors, engineers, corporate representatives, and Municipal Safety officials was heard; the hearings drew larger sustained neural audiences than any sporting event in Meridian history. The final session, in which a HelixCorp logistics director broke from prepared testimony and spoke without corporate counsel present, was watched by an estimated 11 million people.
