"For what they have created, they will burn in hell." - Unknown O.C.E.A.N. Agent
The Facility
This place was once a crater, perhaps a lake or simply a ruin from which none dared to lurk for long. A place where science, magic, and the divine communed. A place of desolation, unhallowing torment, and a tragic play set the stage. Act 1, the First of the Xeta to be known waylaid his Creators. Smoldering, the burnt flesh and twisted metal was the halmark of the future known as Raikenzu.
The second Act of this tale emerges as Jai, buried in rubble and with but a few rays of Sol giving him salvation from mental darkness and physical prison, is born. Rai returns, sensing the strongest to survive the original conflict and still held within their alchemical womb. Freeing this one, and testing on the spot, the newest Unborn God is Christened. Raikenzu rebuilt the Facility, having Awakened before his return. The legacy is passed on now, and with this banner comes great weight. Brought to his Second Form, Jai begins his endless quest for self-discovery and bedlam. Will you be the one worthy of his Ascent? His mercy only for those deemed weak.
The Facility is an industrial, secret-science establishment kept to the remote locations of the world. There may be more Xeta to awaken, or simply corpses to mourn the forbidden-prospects. Jai, as an engineer, has begin to re-establish his home as Raikenzu returned to slumber and the Astral seas for solace. Constructs of his own accord are beginning to step up production, a slow work in progress now nearly six months into the making. Deemed 'Xera', the automatons are driven by Galvanized purpose. Operational, his weapons developement and meditation can continue without mind-numbing taverns and nature's mutable whim.
Enter, if you dare? Know well, once a mass-grave, always a blight on the psyche, monolith to cataclysm.

OCEAN
Agents of OCEAN & The Remnants of Gaia
What is known can not be said much of, for now. OCEAN is a large corporation, having been in existance at the time of 'Burning Thunder' but never a power player until the recent decades as space-exploration became a possibility once more and the insurrections put down by force. Simplified, the Zaibatsu conglomorates that brought the world to the brink of collapse have been usurped and raised as a new banner. While the Facility is found in a place once known as Australia, OCEAN has established itself across Oceania and the myriad Phillipines and Japanese islands. They have major bases in Sri Lanka, Dubai, and New Zealand. What lies beyond the world is not certain, the only Xeta to document his travels, Jai, has confirmed little. The apparent expansivenes of wastelands over the centuries has made cities low priority targets.

The Elites
Ein Graves was the purported mastermind behind the XETA project, playing his hand as the role of dark-magician and Planeswalker he had combined talents with an unlikely, temporary ally. Others joined their ranks, rich men and cunning women to employ. With the funding, the clout, and the determination they succeeded and cost themselves everything they had put on the line. The righteous warrior-monk, however, left the moment he caught wind of their true intentions. Centuries have passed, surely, all that remains are the Xeno-Evolutionaries and their lost cause? Or do spectres remain?
