Story:Umbran Epidemic/Moirai

The Moirai Genetic Facility, headquarters of the Moirai Company, commonly referred to as "the company", is a central location in Umbran Epidemic.
The Moirai Genetic Facility is one of the largest employers in the Tokyo suburb of Umihana. Located in the heart of downtown, the massive complex lies mostly underground, with several stories aboveground. Moirai sells itself as “Japan’s leader in breakthrough medical genetics”, and is divided into three departments:
*Genetic Engineering: Employees in this division directly manipulate DNA sequences in vitro. They sequence sections of the human genome, identify genes that code for certain hereditary disorders, and isolate and multiply genes of interest through process such as Western blotting and PCR. GE workers are presented as the face of the Moirai Company; the higher-ups seek to create the classical image of a scientist toiling away to cure disease.
*Genome Transformation: Employees in this division concentrate on transmitting episomes (stable DNA molecules) from one host to another. Episomes edited by Genetic Engineering are passed on to GT for work in vivo with selected organisms. Moirai Comopany adamantly claims it adheres to all bioethics protocols, but there may be more advanced test subjects than rats living in the facility's basement....
*Financial Management: What it says on the tin. Instead of lab coats, FM employees wear formal business dress to work, overseeing the flow of money in and out of Moirai Company. They determine what projects proceed with financial endorsement and which projects die without funding. Currently FM has been very busy managing the huge influx of money coming from the government, received in the hopes of increasing public health.
