GCS History
G CORP Support was founded on October 23rd 2006, by LabTechMK and LabTech732 (Elena Von Crimson).
Eight days later, Gaia would have its first Halloween without G CORP’s involvement, since their first public appearance.
In response to this, GCS set itself a goal which was quite simple:
To keep the public aware that G CORP was not gone for good, by gathering as many loyal supporters in a single faction as possible.
We aim to be the biggest and most active G CORP based guild, which is a goal we have always strived to achieve.
At that time, we were aware that other G CORP themed guilds already existed, and to this date we are still only one of many. Instead of denying this fact, we try our best to be the better of these in as many areas as possible, and if need is found, team up with our fellow supports.
GCS’s first guild was created on November 5th 2006, not even a month after recruiting first began. Since then many LabTechs have come and gone, each of them for their own reasons. Common for them all though were their interest in G CORP and the work of GCS.
Just like the member count, the activity in the guild comes and goes, but we strive to not let the guild die entirely. And the only reason we can achieve that, is thanks to our most loyal supporters who take their time to drop by every time they have the time to.
On October 23rd 2011 GCS opened the doors to a brand new guild, making the old one an achieve of the past. The reasons for this were many, but mainly it was in order to fully reboot the story of the RP, as well as in order to once again try and generate activity in GCS.

G CORP History
Halloween 2004 - Zombie Incident
Shortly after the release of the Gaia Guild system, the NPC Johnny K. Gambino created in his name a guild to be known as G CORP. From there, and leading up to Halloween 2004 (H2K4), the G CORP storyline started, and we were shown many great things. In Gambino's guild, various LabTechs would keep journals which were viewable to all members, and it showed everyone what was happening behind closed doors. In the beginning, they were all something of a happy staff, working towards the goals of Johnny K. Gambino.
While G CORP had existed several years before these events in the storyline, Gambino had recently hired the group of LabTech's in the guild in order to create a virus for him. This virus was suppose to take the better traits of two subjects, and make the first of these much better. This was because Gambino was ashamed of his son, Gino, and wanted to manufacture said virus, in order to make Gino a worth heir of the Gambino name.
As H2K4 was fast approaching, we found that an employee of G CORP, known only as the mysterious LabTechX, was selling Vials of Unknown Liquid in the Marketplace for 100 Gold a piece. With no reason for why they were there, what they were there for, or how long they might be there, users all over Gaia began buying the vials up in great
quantities. Gambino was to hold a party at his mansion on Halloween, but it was also to celebrate Gino's birthday, [which is not even in the month of October!].
The userbase went to Gambino's Mansion to party. As with every holiday event, there was a specific forum set up for this, and all were enjoying the festivities to begin with. Some time after it started, a new thread was made there in which several LabTechs were celebrating the retirement of one of their own, LabTech062. The party would not go long though, as an undead LabTech013 arose, searching for brains. This started the H2K4 event.
From what we know, this LabTech was ordered to be dealt with, for trying to get out of the CORP. In the process, he was stabbed in the head with the G-Virus, which the CORP had been working on. But instead of combining his cells with that of another, his living cells combined with the dying ones, making him the first zombie in Gaian history.
The infection spread quickly, and soon LabTech123 was the only employee not to be infected. Once this occurred, they began to roam the mansion, biting many unsuspecting party guests. They all unsurprisingly started to panic, as it appeared that nobody was safe. Gamino quickly handed out shotguns to the surviving hopefuls, for which to defend themselves - and the mansion - from the rising undead ranks. Gaians shot and bit one another for most of the night, but at one point, it became too much, and the zombies far outnumbered the living. At that point, it was revealed that the unknown vials were capable of reversing the zombie infection.
A man named Bucho, whom was the head of security for the Gambinos, contacted Gambino, telling him that the Silent Flash protocol had been activated, and that they had to quickly leave the mansion. Silent Flash was the code name for a nuke that was fired up from around Durem, and aimed directly at the mansion.
When the nuke hit, Johhny K. Gambino had barely escaped, and there was a picture of him lunging out of the explosion from that night. Gino went missing, and the LabTechs and zombies were all believed to have perished. However, it appeared that LabTech123 made it out alive.
Both LabTechX and LabTech123 were later spotted at the Second Gaian Anniversary Ball. While LabTech123 acted as if nothing had happened, LabTechX was constantly warning people how "'they' never die" and that the "Grunny lives".
Halloween 2005 - Grunny Invasion
Halloween 2005 came, and along with it did G CORP once more. Bucho invited us all to the Gambino Mansion once again, an invitation that came from Gino instead of Johnny. The mansion was reconstructed, as was the secret underground test facility. This time round, however, the facility was not the secret it had been before, and LabTech123 had become head of operations there, under the supervision of Gino. Despite not knowing what Johnny had been working on, Gino ordered that the experiments be continued anyway.
LabTech123 had with him a Grunny, and from it a new batch of the G-Virus was created. Many grunnies were made in doing so, which ended up prompting the second G CORP crisis. Without hesitation, LabTechX appeared, and let loose the grunnies from their cages, and started the H2K5 event. Bucho requested that we capture them, and in doing so, users became Grombies as they became infected with the virus they carried.
There were several levels, the highest of which granted those who aquired it their very own Grunny atop their head. Unlike the Zombie skins of H2K4, which were wiped from the servers, the Grombie skins still remain, so long as one still with it never drinks one of the unknown vials.
In the end, the mansion was burnt down, by an unknown cause. Gino was dining with Sasha, and saved her from the fire, yet was trapped under the burning rubble himself. LabTech123 also disappeared once again.
Since then, all was silent from G CORP. LabTechX was apparently the only remaining member, whom we never saw anywhere publicly. It was not until April 1st, 2006, that we saw him again.
April 2006 - Return of Gambino
LabTechX came to the Barton Cliffs, where Gino and Ian were fighting in the name of Sasha. Ian was still weak from some other prior events (such as when he was shot by the sniper), but he stood his ground nonetheless. Cindy Donovinh was overhead in her chopper, and LabTechX arrived a moment before Ian was to take a heavy punch from Gino. He took the blow himself, not wincing even for a moment. He then got a vial out from in his jacket (which was identified as the very last vial from his shop that he refused to sell), and he injected it into Gino, triggering a transformation within him.
Gino's arm grew to cartoonish proportions, and he grabbed ahold of LabTechX. They both grappled, and fell over the cliffs. At the bottom, a bright flash occurred, that encompassed all of Gaia that day. There formed a crater at the cliffs, and LabTechX had gone missing. Standing at the bottom of the crater, was now Gino, and his father, Johnny K.
The Gambinos were themselves once more, but that was supposedly the end of G CORP.
Halloween 2006 - The Zurg
After this, the alien race known as the Zurg were attracted to that very event by its energy signature, and the Zurg invasion occurred shortly after. What is important here, however, is that Gambino made a deal with the Zurg mother, in energy drink sales. Zurg Energy turned users into a Zurg, and Gambino's Red Bino reversed it. One of the Zurg aliens died, by the hand of his brother, and a bizarre mix of Zurg technology and the G-Virus was used to revive him. While we are unsure exactly what he truly is anymore, the infliction has become to be known as "DRKNRGY", and can be considered partly to be a product of one of G CORPs experiments.
The Zurgs eventually left Gaia.
Halloween 2007 - Humans VS Vampires
In 2007 we learned that G CORP had been secretly hiding Ian's true identity - being half son of the Von Helson vampire family, and half son of Gambino's wife - for several years. In all that time, they had been giving Ian a serum to suppress his vampire genes, making him able to hide his identity, while also trying to create a serum to completely cure vampire-ism by analyzing Ian's blood.
In the end, the serum was successfully developed, but the only known sample was destroyed by Moira. It can be speculated that the sample data is still in the G CORP databases though.
As an added bonus, G CORP was revealed to have a facility located just northeast of Barton Town.
Gaia Olympics 2008
During the olympics, Gambino dug out an old vial of Serum 3A from his deposit box.
The serum was one of G CORP's early failures and despite bringing corpses back to life like the G-Virus, it did so in a manner that was not contagious and did not make them hungry for brains.
Ultimately, he used these Glompies in an attempt to win the olympics - although unsuccessfully.
Easter 2010
An unusual Grunny, named Diedrich, appeared during the Easter event of 2010, and again later on April Fools Day of the same year, popping out of an urn that resembled Gambino (theoretically coming out of Gambino's ashes). Despite apparently being a Grunny, his appearance differs greatly from the original one. Also, he seems to be more intelligent.
Halloween 2010 - Grave Danger!
One of the ghosts that appeared during the halloween event of 2010 was Labtech Rory.
Judging by his journal entires, he seems to be a Labtech which was involved in the events leading up to the zombie outbreak of 2004, although was never mentioned in the original plot.
He mentions that he has to make it to a party on October 31st.
However, he claims that his memory is blank after he and Frank (LabTech123) had finished a shift and were playing games in the break room.
The next thing he remembers is waking up in a graveyard, having missed said party.
Evolving Item Side-Story
During the mishaps of Dr. Singh and Timmy, Labtech Gene was at one point brought in by Singh in order to help her.
He's a specialist in the field of genetic surgery, and apparently used to work for G CORP.
After having taken too much Gro-Gain however, he seems to work together with T-Bone, Timmy's evil side.
zOMG
CONTAINS SPOILERS - read at own risk
G CORP makes several, although mostly minor, appearances in zOMG!
During the first part of the original tutorial level, "Stop the Train!", an NPC called Frank mentions that G-Corp installed an automated system on all the trains at one point.
In the next mission, "Peelungers", we learn that G CORP LabTechs had started handing out special rings, so that people could fight back against the Animated. Another interesting thing we learn, is that the Barton Sewers seem to have been overrun by Gramsters which are apparently another of G CORPs byproducts. At Bill's Ranch another G CORP byproduct, the Grunken, appears during one of the mini-events.
The NPC Frank, apparently disappears right after the train arrives at the station. However, at the Old Aqueduct we meet an NPC who looks much like him, although he simply goes by his apparent title, G-Corp Labtech, denying to have ever met the player before.
Interestingly, Gaia released an item called "SDPlus #39 Frank Doll" where one for the forms of the item is a mini doll of Frank and another is of the G-Corp Labtech, proving that these two are one and the same person.
Even more interesting is that LabTech123's avatar's head is identical to Frank/Labtech, hinting that all three are the same.
Most NPCs in the game have a theory that the problem with the Animated has its roots in G CORP and the G-Virus, although at the end of the game, this is proven to be wrong.
As the player makes it to the ocean floor of the Shallow Sea, it is discovered that LabTechX has built the Sealab Compound, a deep-sea research laboratory, and founded NeXuS Corp.
LabTech123 has apparently joined him, and is the one who explains all this as we infiltrate the compound. Interestingly, the compound itself is guarded by Grunny Subs as well as NeXuS LabTechs.
It turns out the LabTechX is a clone of Johnny K. Gambino, and after having been ignored by his "father" wants revenge on him. To do so, he built the Sealab X Prototype which contained a slaving mechanisms, and seeked to infuse it with Ghi Energy in order to make the Animated his personal army.
In the end, his plan failed as he was defeated, but he escaped and is now hiding in an unknown location.
