The history of Aegis is actually quite interesting. In the early days after the War, when the Long Winter first began to abate, Minerva faced few military or political threats. The few survivors they encountered were so weak from malnutrition and radiation poisoning that they couldn’t have posed a serious danger even if they had tried. No, it wasn’t until later, when Minerva expanded its territory that they first began to encounter armed competitors.

The historical record is full of references to nuclear weapons and nuclear power, yet I cannot find any current Glaucus projects exploring the potential of atomic and nuclear research. When I asked my superior why this is so, she merely smiled and told me to figure it out myself. I think I have, at least partly.

My recent research on the use of biological weapons at Nagasaki spurred my interest on the role the BCL played in pre-War science, politics, and the later founding of Minerva. It is clear to me that they developed and produced many more biological weapons in the decades following World War II.

I have been informed that the format of my research leaves something to be desired, and that I should try to quote less and share my own thoughts more. It’s not a requirement though, and this is my personal research, so I’ll continue as I please. I find it more efficient to link to the source data directly, and prevent the duplication of existing data within our Archive.

What have we done?! The purpose of Project Wormwood was to develop antidotes and treatments in case of advanced biological attack. They told us that they would never use our research as a weapon. If we had known what they were planning on doing, if we had had any idea… No, we should have known. When faced with invasion and near-certain defeat, any nation would have done everything possible to defend itself. But at such a cost. Millions dead. Millions more dying. The survivors are the unlucky ones, cursed to be plague bearers forever. God almighty, what have we done?!
