Pequod's

Pequod's Coffee is one of the two competing worldwide coffee shop networks in 2072. Its main competitor is Queequeg's.

Unlike Queequeg's, Pequod's shops seem to be oriented to a more affluent clientele. Pequod's establishments serve nanotechnologically enhanced coffee, and their speciality is "Pequachino". Alex D finds Pequod's in Upper Seattle and Cairo Arcology.

In Standard Security Corporation's Headquarters' evidence room in Trier, Germany, Alex D discovers that both Pequod's and Queequeg's belong to the same single parent company, unbeknownst to all their coffee shop owners. Two different coffee chains were created to conquer different tastes of the customers; the rivalry between networks is intended to stimulate a public interest in their products all the while bringing profit for one monopolistic corporation. Alex D can choose whether or not to reveal this business secret to the owner of Queequeg's shop in Trier.

Behind the Scenes

 * Pequod's and its competitor's, Queequeg's, titles are spoofs of the real life coffee chain Starbuck's. All these names are taken from Herman Melville's famous novel Moby-Dick. Pequod is a fictional 19th century Nantucket whaleship whose voyage is portrayed in the book. Like its fictional counterparts, Starbucks was started in Seattle.
 * The revelation of a single ownership of such seemingly antagonistic coffee shop chains foreshadows a similar discovery about the World Trade Organization and the Order Church, which both prove to be mere branches of the Illuminati.
