In ''System Failure'' Mitsuhama states that after some deliberation they decided to relocate their North American headquarters to San Francisco. Since the decision is connected to the pullout from Tsimshian, this seems to imply that the headquarters was located in Tsimshian at that time. But according to ''New Seattle'' not only has it been in Seattle a few years before that (2060), it also remained there according to ''Runner Havens'' (2070).

Inconsistencies

In System Failure Mitsuhama states that after some deliberation they decided to relocate their North American headquarters to San Francisco. Since the decision is connected to the pullout from Tsimshian, this seems to imply that the headquarters was located in Tsimshian at that time. But according to New Seattle not only has it been in Seattle a few years before that (2060), it also remained there according to Runner Havens (2070). (sf p. 107 -- ns p. 92, rh p. 78)
