'''Origin''' | |||
GOP at it's core is a transhuman organization. When WCG declared some technologies to be dangerous for world population, the transhumanists saw them to be hindered in reaching their goals. They begun to gather all kind of equipment and brought them to remote places in the Sahara. Their villages changed location a few times since then. The most important money sources are former Russian oligarchs. A few of these bakers even life there. | |||
'''Symbiosis with a religious sect''' | |||
Work force is provided by a religious sect, mostly drawing members from Jehovah's Witnesses. The bakes put much effort in recruiting and missionizing people with the most "silent", loyal and submissive behavior. Normally Jehovah's Witnesses reject high-tech but this community was convinced that all technology that is passing GOP's special testing has God's goodwill. At some point the technologies aren't longer explained to them. Instead GOP administration declares miraculous instruments and phenomena as gifts of the Lord. As harder the people work as higher will be their rewards... | |||
If all GOP's goals would have been accomplished, the members would have proven themselves being worthy to witness the [[wikipedia:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#God.27s_kingdom|Second Coming]] and allowed to remain on Earth. | |||
While the Second Coming was actually propaganda, the cataclysm put GOP's religious workers into so much euphoric mood that they scared many GOP transhumanists. Some critical voices used the heat to kick out everyone that didn't seemed to be a true advocate. Eric Morice, himself a scientist, retained control over the systems but acted now fully in what he thought the members would expect next. Jesus would not appear very soon... To buy time for a plan, he said that they still needed to endure the appearance of true evil. He built some ''demonic beasts'' in Green Village's unaccessible laboratories. The Bioc would set them free later. Their presence would be a proof for Satan's actions and the Holy Sand could wipe them from the face of earth. All what was missing was someone that could act as Jesus. Preferable a Daodan host that could miraculous heal his wounds and those of others. | |||
'''Temporary partnership with the Syndicate''' | |||
While the Syndicate is happy in having such a well-paying customer for illegal technology, they also became interested in what GOP actually does. The Syndicate never does blindly business with "big players". With their paramilitary devision on the same continent GOP had no much of another chance than to share technologies they developed on their own. The Syndicate is always looking for a way of making their HQ more autarkic and unnoticeable. For instance to camouflage underground facilities from civil and military satellites, infrared information can be altered by [[wikipedia:Adaptiv|"camo layers"]] which origin dates back to 2011. | |||
When GOP got an sample of Bioc in their hands they used it as smart concrete. Their buildings can now be grown from basically just sand and electricity. Soon they used it to grew "solar harvester". These look like wide areas of black sand. The areas are protected by dense dust clouds up to heavy winds that emerge as soon as strangers appear. Magnetic fields can turn particles into devastating storms and tornados against men and vehicles. After recent improvements GOP began to transform the entire Sahara into "holy sand". By now they are even able to create fast moving dunes, earth quakes and quicksand. The Syndicate no longer sends personal after GOP since nobody returns anymore. All phenomena draw either on magnetic fields or mechanical resonance from Bioc sand layers. | |||
Because of the biblical context, GOP plans to create a new deterrent. These "pillars of salt" will actively grow on enemies and eventually trap them inside. The final pillars can be controlled to sink or rise in the sand. | |||
