STURMANDERUNG or Project STURMANDERUNG (never actually spelled Sturmänderung) is the name of [[Muro]]'s master plan to reprogram the world's [[Atmospheric Conversion Center]]s to putrefy the air rather than purify it. The only ingame mentions of the project's name are in the [[Quotes/Consoles#STURMANDERUNG_:_Primary_Stage|4 last consoles]] hacked by [[Konoko]] in {{C14}}. The related objective page refers to the place as "the heart of the Sturmanderung megacomputer". | STURMANDERUNG or Project STURMANDERUNG (never actually spelled Sturmänderung) is the name of [[Muro]]'s master plan to reprogram the world's [[Atmospheric Conversion Center]]s to putrefy the air rather than purify it.

A supposedly secret base that Konoko (or the TCTF operatives) were able to locate approximately thanks to a tracker planted on Muro's plane. Terminal readings mention a [[BGI]] truck involved in a collision, but this doesn't necessarily imply a road connection to the outer world, as the trucks may be shuttling stuff from helicopters and cargo planes. Then again, there can be tunnels all over the place for all we know. | A supposedly secret base that Konoko (or the TCTF operatives) were able to locate approximately thanks to a tracker planted on Muro's plane.

The German word "Sturmänderung" can be decomposed as "Sturm-Änderung", meaning "stormlike change". However, the word "Änderung" isn't a violent change, so the resulting term is an [[wikipedia:oxymoron|oxymoron]]. | The German word "Sturmänderung" can be decomposed as "Sturm-Änderung", meaning "stormlike change".

The latter was a cultural movement in romantic Germany, marked by writers such as Goethe. The philosophy of that movement was that, e.g., emancipated literature would empower the populations to more political freedom. In a spirit of "counter-enlightenment", the human nature of the protagonists would drive them to extreme emotions and even acts of violence. An example of that movement is the tale of the titan Prometheus by Goethe. | The latter was a cultural movement in romantic Germany, marked by writers such as Goethe.
