Echo Labs

== Echo Labs ==
Echo Labs is a research corporation who has several research facilities around The World. It was founded in 1961 by Greg Louis, Emmett Hamilton, and Milton Morris, with support from a financial backer and Amadeus August. It later then became a branch and funded by S.A.G.E. Echo Labs was envisioned as a research firm for science, research, better tech, and the progression of the human race. It is also known for its government contract to study and reverse-engineer the Star-Hive tech recovered from the Star-Hive Invasion (or the Star-Hive Event) of 2011. 
=== Echo Labs Projects ===
* The New Sentinel Serum - After Patriot Eagle was killed, Echo Labs created a less expensive, but weaker serum for professional soldiers to use and drink for the Vietnam War. This experiment caused multiple other countries to make their own serum for super soldiers. 
* Human Teleportation Transport - In the 1970's, Echo Labs created a way for Human Teleportation Transport but there was risks of being lost and forever stuck. Many scientists died in this process. 
* Study of the Star-Hive technology - After the invasion, Echo Labs reversed engineered the technology left by The Star-Hive, which helped build many things for S.A.G.E. and other expensive weapons. 
* Cybernetic Nanotechnology - When Armata (Park Ji-yeon) was effected by an explosion, her and other scientists helped build cybernetic enhancements but with the help of young Ji-Yeon, they found the use of Nanotechnology. 
* Metahuman enhancements and debuffs.
* Multi Dimensional Travel - In the story Echoes of Time, Echo Labs in 2008 finds the ability of Multi Dimensional Travel which causes a cluster of problems for the scientists, The project was deemed too dangerous and shut down. 
* Time Travel (on-going) 
* Quantum Energy Converter - A device capable of converting quantum energy into usable electricity, secret use.
* Bio-Reconstruction Device- Accelerates the healing process and regenerates damaged tissues and organs. An expensive process but used by S.A.G.E. for Pro-Heroes
* Gravity Manipulation Device - A device capable of manipulating gravitational fields, allowing for the creation of artificial gravity and potentially enabling interstellar travel and colonization of other planets.
* Virtual Reality Simulation System - An immersive virtual reality system that allows users to experience realistic simulations of any environment or scenario, from historical events to futuristic worlds, for entertainment, training, or therapeutic purposes.
* Energy Shielding Technology - A defensive technology that generates energy shields capable of deflecting or absorbing incoming threats, such as projectiles or energy-based attacks, providing protection for individuals or structures.
