WELCOME TO SEVCON!
Industries International Incorporated.
We here at Sevcon are dedicated to providing revolutionary technology to those on, off, or in between worlds.
Sevcon operates on all possibly attainable planes of existence and locations.
We're everywhere you are!
Welcome to the lack of need and the beginning of the future.
Capitalism is nothing but a road to destruction.
Info under cut!
I don't CARE if "using bullets on civilians is against corporate policy" or "Intern security isn't even supposed to have guns"
THREE PEOPLE WITH ONE BULLET IS STILL IMPRESSIVE! And anyway, they were trying to rob the building! Robbery ended instantly!
Anyway they're sending me "Down" which is a weird claim because Sevcon Nevada Casino doesn't have a basement. But we'll see what they do.

Sevcon Exterior Ops. vs External Operations
This is an important announcement surrounding Sevcon name conventions and permission structure.
THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. WE ARE GETTING MATERIAL AND PROJECT REQUESTS FROM EXTERIOR OPERATIONS, WHICH IS INVALID.
External Operations is the Sevcon division that handles our outward-facing operations. Stores, hotels, housing, donations, architecture, fast food, drinking water supply stations, everything the customer sees. Everything we want them to see. Assuming your seeing this with authorization, which I will preface that if you are recording or sending this meeting out, you are violating your contracts with the company, but anyway... uhh... yeah, assuming you're seeing or are in this meeting right now with authorization, YOU ARE EXTERNAL OPERATIONS! STOP FILING REQUESTS UNDER EXTERIOR OPERATIONS!
Exterior Operations are behind the scenes missions outside of Sevcon. Espionage, diplomacy, which are basically both the same thing but what the hell, they manage that. YOU ARE NOT THEM, THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THESE KINDS OF IN-PERSON BREIFINGS!
Thank you. Meeting dismissed.
Stores and External Operations start for the public in thirty minutes. Get ready.
Sevcon Internal informed me that we'll "Definitely be selling a lot more cheese today,"
I have no idea how they could predict that.
Oops I think I just pushed our entire codebase to Exterior Operations...
Sevcon corporation regular posting is soon to resume regular programming.
With significantly less story as SVCN 2.0 is still being rewritten as a story framework.
We thank you for your patience.

[Anchorridge has received an urgent distress call from an unknown Sevcon Orbital Station situated near Saturn's rings.
The message comes in order.
It starts with a terminal header before becoming an audio message.]
(Terminal header): S.S.S. UMINOTANI ORBITAL STATION URGENT MESSAGE.
DIRECTED TO [RELAY 17, ANCHORRIDGE].
CURRENT STATUS: CATASTROPHIC.
ESTIMATED TIME TO FACILITY ERADICATION: 15.6 MINUTES.
(Audio Message, Unknown Crew Member): This is Station Uminotani, reporting urgent status. Communication is heavily damaged, we can only send to what we see.
Currently I only have a lock on Anchorridge Signal Relay 17, about ninety six thousand kilometers out. Relatively close, considering, well, space.
Gravitational systems are offline... Operational, but are in permanent capacitor memory purge, which I believe may be caused by an electrical short.
This whole station went to shit in like thirty seconds.
Some rock catapulted out of Saturn's rings and struck our core. I told you all having an exposed core module was MORONIC.
(mockingly): ooooh but it looks so cool having the orange reactor casing exposed oooooh
(yelling): IT'S RADIATION SHIELDING, NOT FUCKING STRUCTURAL!
Reactor is COMPLETELY inoperable, and we have like eight minutes of battery. Reactor fuel ignition spread down the liquid containment and now we are out of reactor fuel, core coolant, whatever the fuck liquid all the life support systems consume, and THE ROCKET FUEL THAT KEEPS UP FROM COLLIDING WITH THE RINGS!
We're all fucking dead.
All our comms are at light speed, since warp communication went out with the rest of the long range communication equipment.
By the time anybody hears this we're all going to be fucking seconds from death.
We don't even have emergency warps because it was "TOO EXPENSIVE TO BE JUSTIFIED"
[The sound of a camera arm being forcefully turned can be heard, but no video output has been sent for this entire message.]
DO YOU SEE THAT? THAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION!
(mockingly): Oh we have cloooninngg you're fiiiineeeee
YOU HAVENT BACKED UP MY MEMORY IN YEARS!
(P.A., in background): Uminotani-Ring collision in ten minutes. Emergency thrusters are currently INVIABLE.
(Crew member): Fuuu-
(P.A.): Backup solid chemical propellant is EXPIRED. Please rectify.
Emergency Protocol A-15 Engaged. Control Lockout in five minutes. All command input will be disengaged at lockout. Please evacuate this station. Code Red.
[An alarm blares and you hear the crew member run from the comms panel, cursing to themselves. The audio slowly fizzles out, with a final inactivity cutoff notice before it cuts.]
ANCHORNET PING DETECTED. RELAYING TO CATDROID STARSHIP - [ DATA EXPUNGED ]. OPERATION - RECOVER SEVCON ASSETS.
ACTIVATING OVERCLOCKED STARDRIVE ENGINE. TERMINUS LESS THAN 2.3 SECONDS.
[You arrive about just in time to see the facility hit the rings, the ping arrived ten minutes after it sent.
On bottomside, what remains of the mangled comms tower gets shredded by the ring debris.
Topside lights with activity, people attempting to eject from escape pods that no longer listen to them since Lockout.
In the middle of the ship, with a hole torn through its orange casing, the reactor core burns with malice, radiation leaking out unregulated into space.
The lower rings of the station hit the rings, entire sectors ripped to shreds, depressurized, spilling their contents into the void.
The close-range comms tower hits, ripped off instantly, hitting a large asteroid, deflected directly into Anchorridge's shuttle. Hold on.
A five hundred ton wall of steel and aluminum communication equipment clashes with the hull, surviving but heavily damaged.
When vision outside of the ship recovers, Anchorridge forces sit face to face with the core rubbed against the debris.]
(Uminotani P.A.): Reactor core status has reached: POSITION UNREACHABLE, PRESUMED DESTRYOED. Goodbye, personnel.
[With a flash of light, the entire station is engulfed in flame, shockwave of plasma and scraps billowing outward. Within seconds, the Anchorridge shuttle is engulfed in the destruction. Compromised gravity generators spew exotic matter, creating gravitational waves and distortion that pull the Anchorridge ship in.
From Anchorridge's command side, all they see is a blip where they once were. No log ever escapes the destruction. The Anchorridge ship lives, but irreparably damaged, thrown onto Saturn's surface, where they lie in a smoldering crater, far, far down in the atmosphere.]

[In the middle of a meeting between Anchorridge executives, anomalous indicators lining the walls tick like a Geiger counter out of nowhere. In the middle of the room, a single point flashes, shining like a star. Particles fly out, expanding and connecting, like it's collapsing in reverse.
The chaos forms a black door with a red handle.
The moment the process stops, Katie bursts out of it, quickly shutting the door behind her, and the door near immediately collapses in on itself once closed into nothing. The indicators cease clicking]
(Katie): Holy shit- holy fu- Oh god why did it take me here?
Sorry .. about the intrusion. Just making a quick escape. From a... from a thing.
[Katie was incredibly hasty to close that door behind her. She's scared.]
Hey, could uhhh... Do any of you happen to have like... A chunk of selenium or something?
Para calmly stares. Everyone in the room stares. The security raise their rifles.
Para - How the fuck did you get in here anyways? And no?? Who the fuck would trust you with that so blindly?
What do you mean how did I get in here?
I came in through the door.
That- Oh yeah it's gone
Listen, magic door. I think you have the files from the Foundation Backlog. Door of Necessity. Anomalous door that takes you where you need to go, regardless of where you want to-
Wait then why am I here.
[Katie spins around to think and a very concerningly large rifle falls out of... Somewhere. Like from her coat or something. No clue how it would fit there but whatever.
Katie looks down at the rifle on the floor. Windowmaker Mk.7. She then looks up at Para, and then to security.]
Rifles down. It's not gonna hurt you.
Don't WORRY-
[Katie quickly reaches down for the rifle and shoots it at a wall. A pitch black rectangle appears where the shot hits, before it flashes red and appears to show a mirror. Katie runs through it faster than anyone can lay a shot on her just out of pure surprise and unusual movement.
The reflective materials seems to bend around her like a gel. She vanishes through it and the mirror seems to crack.
Every time a crack forms the Anomalous Indicators buzz like hell.]
SECURITY! HRTA'S NOW! GODDAMNIT.
Find that goddamn file, parse all the important information, and send it to me. The fact sevcon has such an item is.. concerning.
Locating file....../ Done.
Truncating..\ Done.
Ready.
This article is out of date as of the 2002 Sevcon Corporate Fracture.
The Door of Necessity is the precursor to most Sevcon Portal Tech.
During development, Sevcon attempted to fuse a door with anomalous materials to see if they can get it to do anything.
There was no scientific process involved, only mixing molten anomalous metals together into a slurry of an alloy, barely held together as most of the metals used couldn't be alloyed properly.
Parts of this slurry were poured into a cut out rectangular pit in the door that caused the wood to char and turn a deep charcoal black, also fusing some of the metals into the wood itself.
A golden handle was placed into the door and apon opening, instantly brought a tester into a Sevcon Mainframe which later ended up causing the 1995 Mainframe Failure from the ensuing attack which allowed the tester to escape from the facility, never seen since, assumed KIA.
After further testing, it was deemed the door brought the user wherever they needed to go to finish some "Prime Directive" unknown to Sevcon.
Sevcon later used the chemical slurry to produce the focusing array for the Windowmaker Mk.1 and made their first controllable and mobile portal device.
After 1999, the door was lost completely.
Since then, it has appeared randomly across time and space providing random aide to certain individuals, traceable through specific anomalous energy patterns along the Lambda Spectrum.

[Cedar finds a Sevcon Blueprint hidden in an unrouted space of an old Sevcon Floppy Disk, only accessible through raw data reading.
"Door Containment A-301"
Large vat similar to a radiation source bath or a spent nuclear fuel pool, with a MASSIVE vertical space.
Whatever it's pulling, it brings it from very far down to very high up.
It's a chain pulley mechanism with a hook apparatus similar in length to the top of a standard single-door doorframe, with prongs to hook into wood.
It dips down into a 30 meter wide, 70 meter deep cylindrical vat of tungsten with plastic shielding. The bottom is rounded out.
It's set to be filled with an alloy of 1 third gallium to 2 thirds of an anomalous element Galine, the same element used partly in Sevcon Brand Panacea.
The part delivery location is about 200 feet west of the set assembly location, which itself is located 20 miles off the coast of Northeastern Siberia.]
The last time we interacted with a door in sevcon anomalous containment, it went VERY badly. I will be making efforts to stay the fuck away while I can. - Everwood, Cedar.
[The is a blatantly obvious trap EXE file on the disk, the only full file on the disk, labeled "OPEN.EXE"
You read through the code and it's very rudimentary programming designed to effectively break the disk itself by giving the drive illogical write commands.
A second RAW txt file is on the disk, also only accessible with specialized recovery software.
It is a scan of a Sevcon containment document
"NOBODY CAN KNOW" is written in red ink on top of the scratched out diagram.
"The Door of All" is written over the original title, also scratched out.
The text is a long rambling monologue about a door that told Katie "The Truth"
According to the document, the door was standing in a blast crater of Sevcon's first attempt to create a portal, which obviously failed miserably.
Katie talks about walking through the portal test, before it exploded. She said it was unreasonable and dangerous. But some part of her begged her to risk it. The other side was dark, warm, and humid.
She turned around and the portal was not behind her. She had no way out. She said she wandered for hours. Eventually, she decided to follow her instincts. She followed the same part of her that begged her to enter, and allowed it to help her exit.
She walked in circles until she saw a door in the fifth loop, seemingly appearing from nowhere while she was looked away. She walked to the door and turned the handle.
On the other side, she saw what she only calls "The Truth," never quite stating what it was.
She ran out the door and slammed it behind her in hopes of never seeing it again, only ending up on the same side of the portal she started at.
Outside witnesses say they saw her walk in the portal and pop out a second later, before the whole portal imploded.
In the rubble, laid Katie resting against a doorframe in the blast crater. It is unknown how she survived, most of the explosion being primarily atoms splitting from the portal's edge collapse, which should have generated enough force to kill her instantly.
She refused to let anyone close until they (High Command) agreed to never open the door.
The A-301 Containment Site was constructed a week later.
Katie later employed the Sevcon Division for Normalcy, and created the Veil Project soon after.]
Reviews of standard veil maintenence have revealed the anchorridge supersite located on Venus has finally become visible due to localized terraforming, which has been anomalously converted to overall like an earth like atmosphere, however it lacks oceans, albeit remote laser analysis reveals large scale machinery, most likely paratech designed for water generation.
Even if unintentional, this breach of the veil is massive, and if discovered by civilian astronomers would cause massive damage to normalacy, due to the range to earth, and the ease of discovery.
(Katie): Well it's not like we prepared for something like this.
[Lexi looks up from her Mobile O&D Terminal and ejects a floppy disk before holding it up to Katie. It's case is yellow. Improvised.]
Really? The H-R.P.C.?
(Lexi): It's all we have that could fix this fast enough.
[Katie thinks for a moment, before grabbing it from Lexi's hand and walks to the main control terminal, before slotting in the disk.]
(P.A.): High-Resonance Photonic Cannon readied. Please be prepared for incendiary fire.
(Alex): Terraforming if I've ever seen it.
[Anchorridge systems catch a VERY large cannon extending from the ground from a Sevcon Orbital Command Enforcement Platform. The fifty meter diameter disk it rests on turns to aim, before it's arm crossed Venus and stops. Anchorridge alarm systems trip and start sirens immediately.]
One new message from - Everwood, Thorn.
Message line.
What the fuck?
What in the name of hell are you doing?
Venus isn't doing shit apart from being a colony and you KNOW that. Go deploy some of the skippers shit if your that worried.
DO NOT FIRE THAT CANNON.
Response - Bockerstette, Kaitlyn.
No stop button on this bitch, we're running on yellow code.
Your structures will survive this, it's incendiary, not armor piercing.
Assuming you prepared for boiling temperatures on a boiling planet.
[The Cannon's charge indicators are flashing red, the hot end of the cannon is pulling electrical arcs from nearby electrical equipment.]
(P.A.): Charge Readied. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
[Shot fired. Touchdown in approx. 7 minutes.]
WARNING - UNKNOWN SHIELD ARRAY ACTIVATED. A massive shield, covered in thousands of runes is now visible, along with a formerly invisible drone swarm orbiting the planet, akin to a Dyson swarm, and analysis indicates that it can and will survive the shot.
WARNING - ANCHORRIDGE DEEP ORGIN SATELITES HAVE BEGUN TO DE-ORBIT, TRAJECTORIES ARE INDICATIVE OF A DIRECT CRASH COURSE WITH THE SEVCON HIGH COMMAND BUILDING.
New response - Everwood, Thorn.
Prepare yourself. You [ KILL AGENT EXPUNGED ]
If that didn't get across, how about this?
YOUR EFFORTS ARE FOR NAUGHT SE- [ VIRULENT COGNITOHAZARD DETECTED - AMNESTIC THERAPY RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATELY. ]
[The laser strikes the drones and stops. Photonically. Thermally, it's effectively as if nothing was in the way. The heat runs through the thin high atmospheric air, and spreads across the whole planet in a matter of seconds, heat cascading downwards rapidly as the light from the beam effectively turns the struck drones into a solar sail, pulling air and heat with it.
After about ten minutes, the air has settled. The temperature is normal. The air is calm. As calm as Venus usually is.
The cannon slowly lowers into the ground.
The orbital strike drones Anchorridge sent never made it past the Facility 019 shields in the first place.]
