Kappa Facility

The Kappa Facility is an Engineer base built into Talinis mountain of the Philippines in the early days of the Human-Vannai War. The purpose of the facility has always been focused around genetic experimentation, though its goals have changed over the years. According to the last facility director, Dr. Matthew Ikeler, initial mission of the facility and its personnel was to give horses the ability to talk. After the rest of the Armor Corps Coalition discovered this, the Engineers were chastised for wasting coalition time and resources (a soon to be regularly-occurring pattern of events), and base was shut down.
In 2016, Kappa was reactivated by the Engineers to assist with helping develop a treatment and eventual cure for Wilder Syndrome. The acquisition of Prisoner One in 2017 saw  the goals of the researchers there expand from not only curing Wilder Syndrome, but restoring the genetic viability of Human-Vannai Hybrids, allowing to "elves" to reproduce. As a result, Kappa Facility became home to a great deal of cloning equipment.
In mid-2019, a supposed act of sabotage saw the Hybrid clones be released on the unsuspecting staff, resulting in many deaths. Because the facility contained a Vannai corpse, the nature and qualities of which were completely unknown, severe security measures had been installed since the base's reactivation, and the entire place was put on lockdown, becoming a tomb for those inside with the dissolution of the Engineers at around the same time. The base would later be discovered by the European Federation and, six months later, an operation would be launched to recover anything useful. The base's current status is not known, but can be safely assumed to still be as tightly secured as it was left, with the survivors of the accident left to their fates, and Prisoner One still somewhere in its deepest levels.
===Features===
Kappa facility was built into Mount Talinis by Engineer suits. The facility is essentially a long tunnel built in a descending spiral, separated into sections. Parallel tunnels provide ancillary functions such as living space for staff. As Mount Talinis is a potentially active volcano, the outer structure of the base is subject to extreme temperature and tectonic stresses as volcanic gasses vent themselves. To counter this, the inner structure is protected by a water-filled gap layer sourced from nearby lakes that helps maintain the base's temperature. The reason for just why the Engineers decided to carve a base out of an active volcano cannot be determined, but is generally left to them thinking it was a totally cool idea at the time.
