Technocrat PbP Campaign

"Project SPECTRUM, safeguarding reality for a brighter future."

Project SPECTRUM (Strategic Protocols for Extra-dimensional Containment, Termination, and Utilitarian Management), a cross-Convention division, operates as a covert initiative of the Technocratic Union with the goal of manipulating and safeguarding reality for a desired future. Situated within Concordia Outpost, this project delves into the intricacies of extra-dimensional containment, termination, and utilitarian management, reminiscent of government programs like MK Ultra.

The project's primary objective is to exert control over the fabric of reality through strategic protocols. Concordia Outpost, concealed from public awareness, serves as the project's epicenter. Factions within the Union collaborate within specialized departments, engaging in covert resource allocation, developing cutting-edge technologies, and assessing potential threats through predictive modeling.

## Setting

**Primary Location:** Concordia Outpost

**Time Period:** Modern Day

**Local Politics:**

Concordia Outpost teems with intricate political webs shaped by power dynamics, factional rivalries, and debates over technology. The New World Order (NWO) wields substantial influence, mastering historical espionage and information control to steer Project SPECTRUM. Their dominance sparks conflict with the Syndicate's economic might, overseen by Xavier Thorne, manipulating resource allocation through Disbursements, impacting trade and negotiations. Tensions surge between the tech-driven Applied Sciences and traditionalist Statisticians, causing eruptions during Joint Council Meetings over Project SPECTRUM's trajectory and resources.

Director Elara Zhang, a cunning figure within NWO, aims to reshape Project SPECTRUM, clashing with Xavier Thorne, Syndicate's Chief Director of Resource Management. Dr. Cassandra Reyes, leading Applied Sciences, challenges conventions, while Commander Mikhail Volkov of the NSC fights for autonomy against NWO's control. Dr. Victoria Hawthorne, from Iteration X, balances predictive analysis with unconventional methodologies.

Applied Sciences' resistance to restructuring echoes fears of funding limitations, advocating reinstating the Pogrom to counter Reality Deviants. Disbursements, Syndicate's financial arm, holds sway through clandestine resource allocation and controls vital elements, trading in secrecy. The NSC safeguards against interdimensional threats, criticized for a perceived alliance with NWO, while Operatives operate covertly, erasing memories of supernatural events. Statisticians blend ancient wisdom with modern methods, shaping events within Iteration X.
