Their board members consist of scientists and politicians, and they advance the philosophy of the Supreme Machine: That all humanity is part of a Great Engine, and we all have our roles to play as cogs in this machine. Symbolic of this philosophy is their Company insignia, a Great Gear that spans the NFT-world. > Supreme Machine: All humanity is part of a Great Engine Supreme Machine: All humanity is part of a Great Engine Members of General Mechanicals value order and reason. They have a strict hierarchy enforced with brutal punishments. Emotion is seen as a weakness, and many people perceive the Gaths (as they are nicknamed) as very cold and logical. They create massive, hulking multi-limbed NFT with wheels and cogs and cranes that emit steam and diesel fumes. If a Gaths sees a problem, they usually try to solve it with a bigger and more powerful NFT. Their installations are squat imposing supremely functional industrial buildings laden with Numetical power transmission lines that are never quiet as the ringing clangs of metal form a never-ending symphony with the buzzing of saws and the whirring of gears. The Board of Dynamic Dymodyne were staffed with hopeful scientists and philanthropists, optimistic that, through science, a bright future could be had by all. Indeed their founders were among those on the cutting edge of Numetical research, testing the strange physics behind the Luminiferous Numen. They believe that humanity must always constantly change: test new things and discard the old to progress, a philosophy they call "evolution by revolution." > Humanity must always constantly change: test new things and discard the old to progress. Evolution by revolution. Because of this, Dynamic Dymodyne is known for its constant changing: nothing is ever the same, nothing is constant, everything moves and evolves. One thing that has been consistent though is the nickname they have earned from their associates, suppliers and enemies: Dynes. Dynes are organized into Work Teams who constantly compete to produce the next new trending thing. The competition is intense, and the pressure to compete often force Work Teams to try unsafe or highly experimental technologies in the name of one-upping their competition. Thus vehicles, weapons, and such built by Dynamic Dymodyne tend to change from one year to the next. They are often assigned version numbers to keep track of things like Dynamic Dymodyne's Pocket Radio XVI. Or their Utilitarian Ray Pen III. They almost always use the strange science of Numetics to create rays that do everything from cook food to demolish buildings. Due to the almost experimental nature of their work their gear has a high failure rate and abysmal safety record. But when they work, they work spectacularly. Domes and Dishes are the favored structures in Dyne installations. Competing Work Teams will often cluster together, competing in their own dome, so a Dyne facility will almost always look like a series of interlocking bubble domes that have various dishes collecting or dispensing all manner of strange Rays inherent to Numetic technology. United Mechano-Medical was founded on the simple question "How can Numetics make NFT better?" Their board sought to improve and extend human capabilities and functions to the realm of the superNFT. They sought to create the UberNFT: a perfect being made of a seamless blend of Numetically powered mechanical parts and NFT flesh. They would achieve these goals by any means, even if it involves creating a new kind of "ethics" regarding NFT experimentation. > How can Numetics make man better? Mechano-Medicine was a field that massively improved the standard of living. For those who could afford it, Mechano-Medicine could replace damaged organs, restore the use of missing or damaged limbs or even extend life. The cost for all these is that the patient would need to be imbued with an ever increasing amount of Life Numetic Current (LNC). Life Numetic Current's most reliable source is the nervous systems of living beings. Practitioners and members of United Mechano-Medical were known as Docs. Thus United Mechano-Medical has huge "LEC Plants" where thousands of NFT are kept in an induced coma. The Numetical energy their bodies produce are gathered into LEC Batteries to power the thousands of Mechano-Medical Organs this Grand Company produces. These LEC Plants are often near Doc "Clinico-Workshops" where they work to create the next fusion of NFT and machine. The "Products" that this company makes are integrated into a vast array of users from the Military and Law enforcement (Who use the Myrmidon ™ Brand Mechano-Medical organs) to nobles and aristocracy (Who use the Uberman brand modular organ system). All of them have this ceramic and chrome look to them that marks someone as a user of United Mechano-Medical's technology. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
