Syndicate (Aurono)

</div>

The Syndicate is the united arm of the Black Dragon Society and the Mitsubishi Conglomerate and one of the largest organization of the world by matters of finance and one of the largest non-governmental military organizations. The Syndicate was ruled an organized criminal network by both Aurono and the other powers on the American continent, but this is only one aspect of the complex conspiracy evolving around the Syndicate. The organization has substanital presence in, and influence over:

• Japan
• Aurono
• Kotaka
• Cyberia

However, due to the "facelessness" of the organization, which is made up of several competing branches, companies and splinter organizations grouped around multiple leaders and councils, it is hard to determine what actions are carried out by the Syndicate, as no clear agenda can be determined for their cause.

History

For most of the early 20th century, the Mafia was the leading ciminal organization in America. This changed when the Japanese invasion broke up the government, old authorities fell from power and strict disciplinary measures prevented bribing of officials.

With the dawn of the information era, the Mafia lost ground to new, more technologized organizations focusing on internet crime and hacking, and the manufacture and sale of hi-tech weapons and equipment. One of these organizations was the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, a megacorp that had risen from a notable national producer of military equipment and motorized vehicles to one of the largest corporations of the world in the wake of the japanization of Asia and the Pacific area. Mitsubishi operated under strict government control, but was involved in many less legal affairs.

Organization

The organizational structure of the Syndicate is hard to determine, because it involves multiple leading figures, branches and companies, often with conflicting agendas. While parts of the Syndicate adher to a strict Human Supremacist viewpoint and oppose genetic engineering and other forms of creating Non-Human sentients, other parts actively engage in research in these fields. The Syndicate takes active influence on the policy of Aurono through it's politcal arms, ironically called "Executive Syndicate", which acts as a shadow government constantly trying to usurp Princess Momoko Aurelia Hanasaki's position through various means. The Black Dragon Society and the Syndicate have both been connected with the assassination of Prince William and Princess Yoko of Aurono, and the armed resistance of Unit 741 soldiers in Alcatraz following the official transformation of the unit into a civilian medical research society and the end of the Racial Purity and Human Supremacy politics in Aurono.

The Syndicate (before it became META) was pretty much faceless up to the point when Muro Hasegawa took power and instated his right-hand men at top positions of the organization (though Mukade's subordination remains unclear). The only Syndicate leader from the time before Muro heard of is (name missing), who makes an appearance in Oni: Rebirth, mentioning he went into hiding when Muro took power, to avoid the fate of other important Syndicate members who did not want to join Muro or simply seemed to smart of powerful. It is likely most other leading Syndicate members were assassinated (or executed, depending on the point of view) by Muro's men.

After 12/3, aka the StarFire Crisis, Muro is dead, his body frozen underneath the Olypmic Construction Site in Salt Lake City, Kotaka. Barabas and Mukade had been killed earlier. Mukade's death propably meant the end for the Syndicate's ninja squadrons, not even to count the incredible losses Konoko alone had dealt to the Syndicate. The Aurono Self-Defense Forces would now have an easy time crushing the remains of the Syndicate. But this did not happen. Instead, META arose, because of princess Momoko Aurelia Hanasaki's anti-militaristic policies. This forced many military hard-liners into an alliance with the Black Dragon Society, and thus the Syndicate. At the brink of its destruction, the Syndicate experienced a soar in membership numbers (propably also helped by Imperial Japan, who perhaps sent troops and material to its dying right-hand men in Aurono). The post-Muro Syndicate aka META is just as faceless as the one before him, the various factions folded up in multi-layered conspiracies, batteling each other or developing the D-Virus as a "salvation for mankind".

Troop types

In general, the forces used by Eastasia are identical to the forces of Japan and the Commonwealth. The forces used by the Syndicate are the same, but focused more on covert operation. For example, the Ninja section within the Syndicate is much bigger (compared to the main forces) than that of the regular army of Eastasia. Some troop types should be mentioned here:

Infantry

• Worker - factory workers, never used as military forces but encountered within META facilities
• Regulator - basic infantry, armed with blasters
• Striker
• Enforcer - heavy infantry armed with man-portable laser / prism rifles powered by a backpack battery.
• Ninja - elite forces dispatched for covert operations

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

For the RL company, see wikipedia:Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi operates several company-owned "colony" cities, in which it focuses its industry and produces. These cities normally also serve as bases for the Syndicate. In Asia, the colonies are directly owned by Mitsubishi. European colonies are owned by Supermarine and North American colonies are owned by Hughes. Mitsubishi is the largest company in the Business Group Industry and the second-largest company with its headquarters in nation of the Neutral Alliance (after The Shin Ra Corp).

Sectors

Guns and Ammunition

Mitsubish is the largest and almost exclusive developer, designer, producer and supplier of military material in Imperial Japan and Aurono. While the naval and aerospace engineering branches deliver the newest battleships and kamikaze craft to the Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kaigun (Imperial Japanese Navy), the company is also the sole producer of the Standardized Format Ammo Clips and also supplies the armed forces with most of its state-of-the-art lighter weapons. Most of the weapons developed and produced by Mitsubishi are also used by the Syndicate's strikers and operatives. Mitsubishi manufactures the following weapons:

• Black Adder SMG - Subsidary: Hughes
• Scram Cannons - Not wikipedia:scram cannons in the mainstream sense of the word, in that these weapons do not fire projectiles by rocket drive, but rather fire Mini Missiles like a cannon to give them an initial boost. The missiles only activate their warheads and drives after a certain timer has passed after launch, much like a TOW. A similar system was adapted in Omega-XIII as the SWARM (Short-ranged Wide Area Reaction Missiles) Mini Missile launcher, also partially based on the weapon from Ground Control.
• Wave Motion Cannons
• Detonation Harness - personal bomb belt for kamikaze and terrorist suicide attacks. Used by Kamikaze troops and suicide attack drones and androids.
• Standardized Ballistic Ammo Clips - Standardized format for all ballistic ammunition within the Japanese territories.
• Standardized Energy Storage Cells - Standardized format for all energy storage devices, both stationary and portable, and voltages used within the territories. Few appliances stray from this format. Standardized Energy Storage Cells were developed by the Energy Storage Division and are adaptable to any appliance using the format.
• MiniMissiles - Miniature missiles that are used as ammunition for the Scram Cannons. Measuring only few centimeters in length and diameter, these missiles actually concentrate advanced systems in their hull, including an active homing system based on inherited guidance, but switching to autonomous targeting when no target is specified, the target has been destroyed or is unreachable. They also hold high explosive warheads, and the eight missiles fired at one salvo of the Scram Cannon are by far enough to kill an average soldier. Similar to a TOW, the missile's warheads, homing function and rocket drives are inactive at short ranges. The missiles are fired out of the Scram Cannon like out of a cannon and active after a given timer after launch has passed. When their drives and homing system have activated, they scramble towards the target from all directions. A similar system was adapted in Leninist Dynasty as the MiniTorp. MiniMissiles are produced under the Standardized Ammo Format.
• MicroMissiles - Micro missiles that can be used as personal armament. They can be thrown like darts or simply thrown into the air. They will automatically lock onto their targets and home in.
• Ryu Missile
• Shinryu ICBM
• SCREAM Cannons - bioweapons using a byproduct of energy cell research: a highly active, energy producing bacteria culture encased within a membrane capsule, feeding on living organisms instead of biowaste like intended for energy production through the normal Energica cultures. Once fired, the bacteria are attracted to any living organisms in the area and propell the capsule towards the target. If the target is reached, the microorganism feed on its lifeforce, killing the host in the process, then move on to the next host. If no host to feed on can be found within active range, the bacteria become inactive and die. A similar weapon was adapted by Omega-XIII as the Merciful Doom.

Biotechnology

The Syndicate has developed and employs a wide range of bioengineering technology and its products. It is unknown how the organization came into possession of the technology, since its development was much too fast to be explained by conventional development. Arguably, the beginning of the steep increase of biotechnology was marked by the invention of the Daodan Chrysalis, though even before, there were ambitious biotech projects, like the development of the SLD, and the Bizarro prgogram (See Picasso Island). However, the sudden increase is sometimes said to be connected to extraterrestial technology transfers.

Simulated Life Doll, SLD

Mitsubishi, as a large biotech concern, is the main manufacturer of the bioandroids called Simulated Life Dolls, or SLDs. These serve in a wide variety of uses, such as police duty, firefighting, industry and construction work or office work. Mitsubishi is the sole supplier of SLDs as battle androids to the Imperial Japanese Army and ASDF. Mitsubishi also delivers SLDs for paramilitary purposes to the Syndicate forces (See: Mitsubishi Tanker v. 1.6 Paramilitary SLD). SLDs are grown out of artificial tissue in special tanks and fed with data over several moth to prepare them for their duty. The great advantage of these humanoid robots is their extreme versatility - a model might only require slight changes to switch it from paramilitary to office duty and vice versa. However, recent events have revealed an unexpected degree of free will in SLD units with long operational history, so users are advised to shut down and dispose of SLDs after being in use for extended time.

Cloning

Mitsubishi practices highly advanced cloning techniques. For example, several META operatives were created by extracting genetic material from Muro Hasegawa / 0. In a broader sense, Daodan Chrysalis technology is also cloning technology, though it involves other techiques, such as gentic manipulation.

Bioengineering

Nerve stapling

See Nerve stapling for an overview of Nerve stapling technology outside the context of Mitsubishi appliances.

</div>

To maintain Latency of Symbiotes under META's control, the organization needed a way to monitor and actively intervene in their organism's processes. While monitoring had been succesful earlier via implanting a subdermal Neurolink, this method lacked capability of actively infuencing the host body. Mitsubishi developed and now manufactures brain implants that both perform the functions of the NeuroLink (tracks position and physical functions) and have an additional Nerve stapling chip in-built. If the host body approaches Critical Latency or becomes otherwise rampant, the chip - either automated or by manual control - generates a strong electromagnetic shock in the individual's brain. While ony of low voltage and limited range compared to the larger, military-grade Nerve stapling warheads of Laurasia, the chip is in direct proximity to the individual's brain and the chip's energy reserves are sufficient to generate a high amperage shock within the surrounding brain tissue, often even influencing bystanders. The Symbiote is effectively rendered immobile and can be picked up by Unit 731 operatives. Normally, these chips are implanted in the neck or brain stem and are constantly linked to The Restrictors to track the Symbiotes.

Deadly Brain

Deadly Brains are cyberorganic Computroniums created by plugging a human brain - harvested from corpses most of the time - into a cybernetic interface and tying its neuronal networks with command lines of the subject computer. Deadly Brains make good internal security systems, counteracting intruders with a degree of creativity and ingenuity impossible with today's computer systems. Deadly Brains can also pilot military vehicles, but due to the size of the appending processing and coding units, it is generally not feasible to install them in anything smaller than a vessel or spacestation, though considerably smaller cybernetic data processing devices are expected to be developed soon, at the pace of current technological surge. Several planned models of A6Ms (A6M120 and beyond) and the Akuma-class space frigate will be equipped with Deadly Brain-assissted navigation and internal security as well. A brain used for Deadly Brain construction usually needs time to adapt because After harvest and plugging, the brain seems to be stripped of its free will and "thinking" capacity, but retains full motorneural control and all informations, data, facts, experience and knowledge it had gathered prior to death. Since the free will is replaced with programming, a deadly brain can easily be incapacitated by entering conflicting input via its control consoles, which will rapidly result in a state of madness ending in rampancy and finally the deactivation of the brain. Besides their, once adapted, formidable skills in controlling intrusion countermeasures and weapon systems, they also have hacking capabilities they can use when connected with any outside network, which serves as an efficient ECM. Again, a similar system was used by Leninist Dynasty in form of the Lenin's Brain. They were ruled illegal and most the Syndicate had brought into Aurono were destroyed by the Aurono Self-Defense Forces until the StarFire Crisis. Also, a good deal was retired due to the risk that they'd go rampant. After that, the nation saw a surge in Deadly Brains employed by META, since their military capacity was still up to date and they could adapt to virtually any weapon system. They are mostly manufactured by Musashi Manfucaturing, a subsidary of Mitsubishi in the Business Group Industry. In one epsidode of the North Park cartoon series, the brain of character Brian Abahachi is implanted into a spoof version of the Deadly Brain called Deadly Brian.

Cytaurs

</div> </div> </div>

Cytaurs are artificial mechano-organical hybrid creatures. Their organic tissue has been programmed with the DNA of several species with traits useful for these beings. They are grown industrially in breeding vats, either in individual pods or large tanks filled with Liquid Space. Instead of implantation of cybernetic augments, their organic parts grow onto a mechanical structure, which thus is an integral part of their organism they require to survive. The beings, measuring, depending upon requirements, 4m - 15m in size, have four legs mounting a humanoid torso with an incredible small head covered by an iron mask. From the torso, two extremely long and powerful arms protrude. Their skin tone ranges from pale white over green to purple. Cytaurs - the word is a mixture of "Cybernetic" and "Centaur" due to the quadrupedal, yet humanoid appearance fo the beigns - are completely unable to feel any pain or have any free will and should more accurately be seen as "organic machines". They are a similar to SLDs, but with scaled-down interlectual abilities and enhanced physical prowess. Cytaurs can be used in a wide variety, such as in industry, transportation and military (though they tend to be slow and bulky). Sometimes, additional systems, such as a welder, machine gun or metal grappling claws are attached to a Cytaur and the unit given a new routine on how to use their new appendixes. Cytaurs have advanced voice processing and can receive orders by voice command. They can, despite their limited mental functions, process orders related to time intervals, distances, weight and related, very precisely, but are generally not very adaptive and in no way creative or inventive in their behaviour.

Symbiote Research

(Main article: Daodan Chrysalis)

The Restrictors

(Main article: The Restrictors)

The Restrictors are artificial consciousnesses simulated by a huge bio computer Computronium in META's headquarters. All of them are equal to the personalities used in SLDs, shaped by artificial simulation neuroloops, but unlike the SLD AIs, the Restrictors do not have seperate physical bodies, but instead exist solely within the computronium. They also do not have means to directly observe physical reality from a personal viewpoint, but instead use the world's communication networks and input from man-machine interfaces as their source of information. Their main purpose is the suppression of the Daodan Chrysalis within the Symbiotes. For that reason, each single Restrictors is assigned to constantly monitor one Symbiote via processing the data from the implant that is forcefuly implanted into each Symbiote's brain. This implant can be used to deliver a constant dosage of Sytropin right into the brain, although it has to be recharged regularly. This is more effective than the injection of Sytropin or the use of Sytropin dosage implants in other parts of the body, which can easier be accessed to refill them, although implants at the neck combine the advantages of both types. As a last measure, a Restrictor can cause the implant to emitt a Nerve stapling impuls to disable a Symbiote that is approaching a critical status. The Restrictor would then (though most likely already before that) alert local security forces to retrieve the now-disabled Symbiote. There are a total of 9,000 Restrictors, one for each Symbiote. OOCly, this is most likely a play on the number of Kami in the Japanese Shinto faith.

Hypospray

For a broader definition, see wikipedia:Hypospray. For further information on Hyposprays as described below, see Hypospray on the Oni Wikipedia. (Link to Hypospray not functional ATM!)

Hyposprays

Sytropin

See Sytropin on the Oni Wikipedia. (External link)

Sytropin is a sort of "reversed" Hypospray used to control Symbiotes. The pharmaceutical consists of chemical substances that bind to human growth hormones and render them into meaningless molecules, or, with newer versions, even into substances that cause necrosis of tissue. Older versions are often mixed with additional necrosis stimulizers. Due to the nature of the Daodan Chrysalis, which adapts to any kind of external stimuli harmful to its growth, the Chrysalis can adapt to the necrostimulanzia and the dosis for Symbiotes has to be increased regularly to keep up with their increasing resistance. Since there is a limit on injection, Syntropin is no long-term solution to stop Daodan evolution in a Symbiote. Originally, Sytropin was thought as a cancer medicine.

Slaver Node

Slaver Nodes are containment pods which can apparently hold an android, override its AI and rewire its controls to whatever the Slaver Node is connected to. The free-will strong AI of the android is turned into a weak AI, merely capable of processing data input like any computer or service android. In practice, this has only been seen used on bio androids, and it is indeed uncertain wether the device is specifically thought to contain bio androids or perhaps even natural organic lifeforms. When it was used, the enslaved android (Shinatama) remained fully aware of what she was doing, but was unable to stop her system resources from being used to control weaponry to kill Konoko.

Slaver Nodes can be connected to various systems, but the only ones to appear within any related RP demonstrated that they can possibly only be employed in stationary installations (or, perhaps, large mobile craft, such as naval vessels or space ships), because the Node itself is connected to various (yet unidentified) parts of machinery and requires the presence of human interfacing for data input (though it is most likely possible to exclude either the human interfacing via remote-control or use a Slave Node to remote-control smaller units).

Atmospheric Processors

A major business field for Mitsubishi is the construction of Atmospheric Processors, facilities that can process irradiated, carbonized or somehow contaminated air (by chemical, biological or nanomechanical means) into breathable air by filtering the contamination. This, of course, is only possible if the basic compound of earth's atmosphere is still present in the air to process. For example, if you have an ammonium-based atmosphere without any "air" in the Terran sense of the word, the Processors will be able to filter out any contamination (if told that ammonium is the desired atmosphere - otherwise they will filter the ammonium as well), but will not be able to create oxygen from nowhere. Usually, these are very large facilities and cover whole city blocks. They are widely used in Kotaka under the ReNatura Project and also in military outposts further to the south (usually scaled down in size). Because Processors can be reprogrammed to which part of the processed gas to threat as desired part of the end product (except for air, which will always be treated as such), they can actually be misused to poison the atmosphere. Also, filtered toxines can be reused in biological or chemical weapons. Because of this and Mitsubishi's links to the Syndicate, the Processors are normally operated by the government of the relevant nation, and guarded by government troops, so that Mitsubishi has no hand in the filtering process.

• Commercial name: Chemical X
• Scientific name: Influenza Daodanum Hasegawai, Daodan Virus

A black liquid containing virii holding hyper-evolved genetic material of a person. If this person is injected with the virii, a Daodan Chrysalis is created inside the body through genetic manipulation and without the need of surgery. Chemical X was developed as an easier variant of the usual symbiote process (surgery), and should be taken with an immune suppressant. If Chemical X is given to other individuals than the one the genetic material was extracted from, the side effects are supposedly the same as with Serum 75. Is absorbed through skin contact. Serum 75 was developed for easier storage and safer

administration.

Serum 75

(Main article: Daodan Virus)

• Commercial name: Chrysalis Growth Virus (CGV) (misleading)
• Scientific name: Influenza Daodanum Hasegawai, Daodan Virus, died form

Extracted from Symbiotes, CGV is usually presented in pill form. It grants temporary powers to whoever takes it. Supposedly, these powers are duplicates of those belonging to whomever the genetic material necessary to make the drug was extracted from, although this seems inconsistent. Usually, the effect is increased strength and aggression. The long-term effects are similar to the Daodan evolution, but are accompanied by severe pain, mental disorders, weakness and sometimes death. This is because the Chrysalis cells which are used in Serum 75 contain alien genetic material, which is - to little success - fought by the immune system of the host body. While the immune system can overcome the virus, the mutated cells cannot be defeated. The progressing transformation of the host body thus causes symptomes similar to cancer. This often leads to death, but those individuals which survive achieve the same final stadium as the "normal" symbiotes - however, since their whole body has been replaced by genetic material of another person, they are technically no longer themselves, including the brain, which holds the personality. However, the replacing brain tissue does not contain any large-scale memory engrams (though a little is contained) from the person the genetic material was extracted from, so a person is capable of keeping his personality and memories, even after a complete transformation, although the personality might be affected from hormonal or physiological changes. Serum 75 was always created from genetic sampled from Zero.

Serum 101

• Commercial name: Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin
• Scientific name:

A wonderdrug designed to "treat anything from leprosy to SARS", able to "cure the common cold and being struck by lightning", indicating it activates a unconsciouss psionic power doing reality modding, recommended as a first choice for treatment of "MI, MS and even for ME and COPD, HIV, PE and DVT" and also "reverses impotence" and "makes you good at fighting" as well as making users "smart as Einstein and as muscular as Tyson" and being the "antidote to ricin" and contains "cures for everything from AIDS to pubic lice". Known side-effects include "nausea, vomiting and losing all your hair, heart attacks, becoming gay and growing extra breasts", but the makers sought to dismiss these side-effects as minor due to the drugs comparative cheapness. The drug is made "from the cerebellar cortex of a bison undergone polygenic splicing". Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin can be administered orally, via IV or anal (presumably in either suppository or enema form though data publicly released up until now does not make clear the exact form of anal administration).

Trilateral Commission

After the Valentine's Day War, the Syndicate attempted to establish ties with the Trilateral Commission. A TG was sent out to the Commission:

Greetings fellow nation.

I have read your NSWiki article, and it sounds like you could be of interest for my nation to establish long-lasting ties. If you appreciate of it, I would like to ally my nation with yours and become part of the international secret network of the Trilateral Commission. Should you wish further information on the META Syndicate, please take a look at my article: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Syndicate_%28Aurono%29 (It is unfinished, however.) I hope to hear from you soon.
