Welcome to Gaia! ::

An impressively tall office complex stands in front of you, class and marble exterior, swathing garden pathways around the front entrance, and a graceful gated tunnel leads to the subterranean employee parking.

About Three stories up is a large bridge, that connects to a shorter, but much more beautifully designed building. These buildings are the Goldwind Operations Department or G.O.D center, where the entire Goldwind company runs it's many smaller branch companies out of. The shorter building is the Destiny Alteration/Management Network building, or the D.A.M.N building, a joint partner of the Goldwind Company that specializes
in Medicine and Cosmetics, the D.A.M.N building also servers as a hospital, dealing with everything from family practices, to dentistry, to experimental surgery, to cosmetic surgery.

But not is all as it seems. Deep deep beneath the center is the Nexus center, a facility dedicated entirely to the invention, development, and testing of experimental technology in the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics fields, and all for Military Application. This one facility contains fourteen(and counting) different end of the world weapons, three methods of time travel, and the blueprints to their two most dangerous weapons of all. Project Leviathan, and Project Necros.









The Nexus center it's self is divided into 9 separate complexes.

Tau Complex: Central security and transport, deals with what goes in, and comes out of the other 8 complexes, as well as providing housing for the lab-techs that never leave the Nexus.

Delta Complex: Experimental Physics Division

Lambda Complex: Experimental Chemistry Division

Kappa Complex: Space/Time travel Division

Epsilon Complex: Experimental Biology Division

Omicron Complex: Experimental Surgery/Technology

Omega Complex: Military Application Development Division (Khane was born here)

Alpha Complex: First Stage Military Application Testing Division

Beta Complex: Second Stage Military Application Division

All travel in the nexus is by the same system. Underground tram cars go in and come out of the Tau Complex, leading off to the other ones. To get onto a tram you have to pass by security bots by using a key-card with the proper security clearance, then when you arrive you have to present the same key card to the security bots standing guard at you're destination.

Welcome to Goldwind Operations Department, Please enjoy your stay.

This post contains a list of the 'standard' enemies you will encounter within the Goldwind Company HQ. Other things my pop up, but they are things closer to secret projects and whatnot.

Cyborg Guard:
Easily produced, easily trained, easily disposable. They have minimal armor, storm trooper accuracy, but are incredibly mobile, and may get back up and continue to fight even after a beheading. They are the standard asshat you will meet in any adventure you choose to take here. They pack anything from Stun battons, to 9mm Side arms, to Pulse Rifles(picture inset).









Adaptus Labryinthus:
These 13 foot tall, genetically enhanced, cyborg guards are clad in Ceramic Power Armor, pack anti-tank rifles as side arms, and chain guns with nitro-tipped rounds as a primary, all complete with something akin to the Gravity Hammer from Halo-3 for melee fighting. They don't like you, they don't want to be your friend, and they are heavily armed. Do not take them lightly, a squad of five of these beasts has been known to decimate entire armored columns unarmed.





Gun Drones:
Pick a weapon, they have it. Foot thick living metal plating? Got that too. Self repair systems? Yepp. Anti-Magic dampening field. You better believe it. Just be thankful these things only ever come in pairs... usually.


Psy-Ops:
Black Coats, no weapons, no armor, dark glasses inside? Shouldn't be a problem right? Wrong. These are the Psy-Ops. Able to turn Everything around you into a weapon of mass destruction. They know where you are, they know what you have done, what you are doing, and what you will do. And they want you as dead as dead can be.

A guard stepped up to the new arrival and halted her. A few more attended the scene, and a few more on top of that watched from a distance, pulse rifles loaded and ready. The one that stopped her spoke through his cycloptic targeting visor.

"Identification Please."

The guard kept himself still, and the guards around him readied their weapons.

"Dose not process, no personnel found under the designation Jane Doe, prepare to be evaporated. Have a nice day."

The guards, all twenty of them, opened fire on Erica, tiny balls of death whizzing every which way, bringing the automated lobby defenses online, a series of miniguns coming out of every conceivable hiding place and adding their firepower to the fray.

Van walked up, he was in a hurry to get done with this and had gotten ahead of the group when he had seen the building. A few gaurds wouldn't stop him He was determined to get through. These metallic soulless beings now stood between him and Ciara and that was a rather sad thing for them.

Both Reizo and Anysi made their way up towards the tall building known as Goldwind. Fear could be detected in neither of their eyes for they faced deadly missions on a daily basis. However, this one would prove to be far more challenging considering that magic would not be able to be used in such an organization. There was a chance that their magic would work, but that chance was incredibly slim considering that if they had any brains at all they would not allow such a thing.

"Well, this is going to be... fun..." Reizo muttered, not being able to pull off optimism all that well at that point. However, he was able to flash one of his boyish grins at Shiia for a moment in order to comfort her.

"Fun!? I won't be able to make people unlucky, which is extremly unfortunate!" Anysi then declared, a frown on her lips. "Maybe I could use some of my explosives. Oh how I love those." She then added. Most of the time she was a rather sneaky person, though when it came to mortal weaponry explosives were her number one pick. To her the fire always made her feel as if magic was involved, so she was inclined to love such a thing.

"Mhmm..." Reizo mumbled, not feeling as if he wanted to go through with the mission. "Can the two of you do anything useful?" He then asked, upon turning and looking back and forth between both Shiia and Van, his bright green eyes looking a though he was studying them intently.

Erica's eyes snapped open once Reizo, Shiia, Van and Anysi came within a mile downwind. Blood. Erica slowly stood, her contacts long gone, and her dress torn. Blood. She balenced herself on her platform-booted legs and sniffed. The scent of dirty, living creatures filled the vampire's nostrils. Blood. She tucked her legs up, as she did before, but this time, it was to stalk, not flee, which took less energy. Right now, if Erica didn't feed soon, both her, and her unborn child, would die. On the brink of frenzying, and just pushed off the brink of sanity, Erica flew towards the living creatures, careful enough to still maintain a posture of attack without immenant suicide. Oddly enough, haveing a child makes you less prone to frenzying, who would have ever known?

Erica, once within a few yards distance, all the while making no noise as she hovered in the darkness of the trees, hiding from them, all the while watching the four's every move. She watched the soldiers that had just tried to take her life as well, but not with as much determination, for they did not have blood which could support her. No, they failed at providing nourishment. Blood.
