The Foundation - Part 2

Posted by / in Lore / No comments yet

Several of my previous entries have made mention to the Founders. This term, as used in the academic circles of Glaucus, refers to the original men and women who joined the Foundation before the War. The list includes notable greats such as the geneticists James Watson and Craig Venter, roboticists Victor Scheinman and Hans Moravec, neuroscientist and political theorist Nayef Al-Rodhan, and many others. In the disastrous political turmoil leading up to the war they all accepted the refuge the Foundation offered. As a result of their extensive recruitment, when the War came and society collapsed, the seeds of civilization, science and technology were preserved in the Foundation.

Glaucus - Part 1

Posted by / in Lore / 1 comment

Being a product of the traditions and mentality of Glaucus, it should be of no surprise to anyone that I find its history fascinating. While today Minerva has three Branches, Glaucus is, in essence, a continuation of the original Foundation. As an organization it holds to the ideals and principles espoused by the Founders, always seeking to further the scientific and technological knowledge of the human race, without regards to politics. While the reality of this post-War world requires a military and political presence, Glaucus continues to conduct as pure of research as possible.

The Foundation - part 1

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.
