Juuuuust wondering, what if the SDC's HQ is in Atlas, but most of their mining operations, though not all, are performed in places outside Atlas that are either less dangerous or have more Dust, such as Mistral?

And what if the shipment we saw in Black and White just happened to be one they mined in Atlas, and not Mistral? After all, it's not like all the Dust they mine comes from 1 single place. Hell, could even be that some Dust types are more common in Atlas than in Mistral, and those were the ones shipped.

IIRC, even some mining corporations in real life have done and still do the same.
