'''Rise of TITAN''' | |||
During Muro's leadership TITAN may or may not have gained some sort of key role in the Daodan project. | |||
At least Daodan and TITAN are mentioned together in the [[Quotes/Consoles#STURMANDERUNG_:_Secondary_Stage|second]] and third phase of STURMÄNDERUNG. | |||
:7) Daodan core technology (ref.TITAN\ssob) | |||
:9) Daodan core technology (ref.TITAN\uwlb) | |||
As it is theorized on the quote pages these lines could be some simple links to files that need "high-security access" (in comparison to [[Quotes/Consoles/level_19a|dwarf]]). | |||
But I would like to think that TITAN plays a bigger roll than being a high-security data archive or mail system. | |||
[[Quotes/Objectives#CHAPTER_14_._DAWN_OF_THE_CHRYSALIS|In the objectives]] you can read this: | |||
: This is the heart of the Sturmanderung '''Megacomputer'''. Access its sub-nodes to learn the details of Muro's master plan. | |||
: Hint: The sub-node data consoles are located in the rooms that flank the main computer chamber. | |||
So it is indeed something big. In the following I will expand the idea because of both - the Syndicate's/Network's history and the Daodan's history. | |||
The Syndicate would have needed much computing power to rerun the Daodan simulation or parts of it so that they could create a Daodan ready for mass production. | |||
<!-- | |||
After entering the mountain compound you can even meet a [[Quotes/Speech#Is_that_a_yes.3F|Syndicate scientist]] that seems to know what Muro and Mai really are. | |||
: Syndicate Scientist: "You...you're the other prime symbiote!"--> | |||
What could be a legit background story to portray TITAN's evolution as supercomputer? | |||
: One factor of the Syndicate's success lies its former decentral nature. | |||
: [[WCG#History_of_the_Syndicate|History of the Syndicate]] | |||
:: ''When the new geopolitical order of the World Coalition Government was instituted many technologies were identified as dangerous to world stability and were banned or reserved to restricted access. The Network survived the chaos of the world riots by establishing and maintaining a reliable '''technological black market'''.'' | |||
: Decentral organizations are more difficult to destroy because there's no main target. | |||
:: The [[wikipedia:Pink_Panthers|Pink Panthers]] can serve as example for a decentral organization. They are kinda independet groups raiding jewellery shops. Accoding to a TV documentation the most successful group takes the lead other the others. | |||
: In case of the Network, they don't steal and sell jewellery but prohibited technology. | |||
: In order to allow secure communication among the groups the Network built powerful servers all over the world. The TITAN servers provided very strong encryption. At same time they were wired to the [[wikipedia:Tor_(anonymity_network)|Tor network]] to keep things anonymous. | |||
: With increasing computing power, reverse engenering fit nicely into their business strategy. | |||
: Now instead of selling the technology they were going to produce copies to earn even more money. | |||
: On the civil markets they provided underground shops (aka Reserection Shops) with RE tools, restricted TITAN access and 3D printers. | |||
: They are serving customers plagued by goods with built-in obsolescence, and of course they sell any illegal technology or modification. | |||
: Though the big money was to be found on the military sector. With BGI another financial pilar was established. | |||
: Police investigations were stopped or slowed down by cyber attacks and hiring hitmans that took out the officers in charge of Network cases. | |||
: This led to more investigations and acts of vengeance. | |||
: As countermeasure the Network invested into their paramilitary devisions. This had multiple benefits. | |||
:* First, they could protect their own facility until crucial personal was evacuated. | |||
:* Second, they could raid guarded companies and research facilities. | |||
:* Third, an own paramilitary devision reduced issues of available strike power and concerns about trust/loyalty of third-party hitmen. | |||
:* Fourth, they were now able to conduct ''field tests'' of new weapons. | |||
:* Fifth, ''persuading'' all other big criminal organisation to work for them. All together they make up the "Syndicate". | |||
: The devision grew huge and soon demanded a proper location for training and everything else that shouldn't be interrupted by random TCTF visits. | |||
: During the the Great Uprising the Network took its chance to spread influence on the African continent. | |||
: They supported countries that didn't want to get annexed by the WCG. | |||
: Ensuring their contrators' sovereignty they were granted a few bases. The biggest one is simply called "the Camp". | |||
: Of course police and TCTF tried to learn more about the tricks the Network used. | |||
: Almost every attempt to analyse their computional hardware and software failed due to [http://phys.org/news/2014-10-dissolvable-silicon-circuits-sensors.html sophisticated selfdestrution measures.] Dissovable chips were especially used in wearable equipment. | |||
: The TCTF was going to use quantum computer to eventually break the Network's strong encryption. | |||
: The next logical step for Network was use build quatum computers as well. With these their [http://phys.org/news/2014-02-quantum-codes-harder.html encryption was save again]. | |||

On a second thought it could be also used for the Sturmänderung event. | Side note: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb5ojdciO1E "When the wild wind blows" by Iron Maiden] (up to time code 10:00) might fit for an AMV-styled video of a custom level featuring Jamie and the Prof. in the city and the wilderness.
