Origins/Major Influence: Proposition Joe, PARANOIA GM
Description: Human civilization reached great heights before World War III, including setting up several Moon Bases just before the war. After the war all of the scientists and researchers on these moon bases were moved into one single complex, Omicron Complex. Omicron Complex has become the most technologically superior complex; however, due to its location on the moon, scientists and researchers often find themselves running out of raw materials and must send agents to the earth to scavenge the barren wastelands and whatever complexes are still useful. Intelligence is also highly prized and required. Citizens who fail their schooling, or citizens from foreign complexes are segregated to the Braindead Underclass for other purposes like human testing or food.
Life in Omicron Complex is for the most part benign. People are far too preoccupied with research and testing to be interested in things like politics or other people in general. As a result, Omicron Complex is very old and poorly maintained and interpersonal conflict never arises in between scientists. Any problems occurring in the complex itself are a result of the deteriorating complex or science experiments and testing gone wrong. The Braindead Underclass, something that would usually cause some sort of conflict, remains a non-issue due to the efficient robot security force and segregation from vital areas of the complex.
Spy From Another Alpha Complex: Omicron Complex depends on sending agents down to earth in order to obtain raw materials and basic, rudimentary necessities and amenities that Omicron Complex can’t bother to make itself. As such, they are unwelcome in nearly every complex they encounter as they steal resources, practical and human, in order to continue running Omicron.
