Private NGO non-profit organization led and founded by Director Cristiano Cruz in 2099. At first, a research only institution dedicated to the quest for global warming reversal, they eventually complemented their scientific ways with various field operations. They investigated closely the effects of localized weather alteration technologies that the Orchid Rain Corporation possessed. Their discoveries found that this technology had the potential to both permanently reverse global warming effects and to amplify its effects greatly.
This information was publicly denied by O.R.C.´s officials and even multiple heads of states around the world. On 2103, an anonymous raid, most likely by O.R.C.´s personnel, occurred on the C.I.'s main building, which destroyed all evidence of its investigations and nearly annihilating all of its field and research operations. From that day, the Cruz Institute began the training of its new covert operations branch and committed itself to discover the true intentions of Orchid Rain, and the source of its technologies.
