DATACUBE ENTRY: Augmented Life

Lore

Vorion: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

I believe that I have finally developed a stable process for biomechanical improvement. I call it augmentation. Using nanotechnology, I have been able to re-engineer organisms at the molecular level, eradicating their inherent weaknesses through cybernetic enhancements. The Archon was extremely impressed with my early simulations, but has requested more tangible results. I begin work on biological subjects immediately.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Promising Prototype

Lore

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

I have studied Vorion’s little pet, and even I must admit that his augmentation process is impressive. By merely injecting an organism with nanite-infused omni-plasm, he has been able to cybernetically enhance their inherent biological traits. As a result, this spider is faster, more aggressive, and deadlier. But this process takes time, and time is not always a luxury we enjoy. I am currently developing a more rapid process for biomechanical re-engineering…

DATACUBE ENTRY: Dangerous Obsession

Lore

Ionis: Order of the Watchers

———————————————————————–

The Watchers are extremely concerned about the so-called “recombination” experiments of Maker Zarkonis. Not only do they display a blatant disregard for scientific principle and protocol, but I personally feel as if they are motivated by a growing sense of inferiority that Zarkonis feels in relation to Maker Vorion and his recent successes. I must speak with the Archon before things progress too far.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Traumatic Replacement

Lore

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

I am very close to perfecting my recombination technology! Instead of utilizing nanites to build biomechanical constructs, my Recombinator removes the target limbs and organs, and then directly replaces them with mechanical constructs. Granted, the process is violent, traumatic, and bloody – and at this stage the resultant creatures are physiologically unstable – but I still feel as if this is a marked improvement over Vorion’s augmentation technology.
And the accusation of Ionis that this is somehow a personal obsession driven by my sense of inadequacy? Preposterous!

DATACUBE ENTRY: Recombination Chamber

Lore

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

The Archon continues to disappoint me with his shortsightedness. My Recombination Chamber is a vastly superior alternative to omni-plasmic augmentation. True, most subjects do not survive the process, and those that do are often physically and psychologically scarred. But these are mere details! I regret that I will not be able to continue this innovative research.

Lore

Aviel: Order of the Weavers

———————————————————————–

This is a perfect location for my upcoming experiment. By tapping the massive reservoir of primal water beneath this lake, I hope to weave a being of pure primal energy. If successful, this will represent a landmark in the history of my Order and a giant step towards achieving the goals of the Project itself. I suppose I must mention the technological contribution of the Makers, although I consider it trivial at best.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Future Consequences

Lore

Korol: Order of the Shapers

———————————————————————–

I have completed my survey of this region, and I am as impressed with its geologic diversity as I have been with the rest of this planet. It is difficult to imagine a more suitable location to embark on the Project, although I continue to harbor concerns about the consequences if indeed we are successful. Not surprisingly, my opinions have not been popular among my colleagues.
