Faction Name: Pellicle Research ®
Leader Name: Clark "Mouseman" Mouser
Leader Trait: Enigmatic
Starting Location: (Packard Automobile Plant, Detroit, Michigan)
Leader Background:

The survivors at Pellicle Research have never known a time when Mouseman wasn't Site Manager. He was a low-level computer tech who rose up in management pretty quickly after the bombs began to fall. After a few years, he became more and more reclusive, but his yearly reviews always reflected his good management of the survivors, and exercise of executive privilege on "troubled employees." He then began disappearing for decades at a time, but regular memos always found their way to the Assistant Managers, always having been dictated to SOSaNNA, a name which the Assistant Managers didn't recognize. Surviors continued following him because his orders generally worked well, and any potential rivals typically disappeared in the night. The few times he appeared over the last few decades, he seemed agitated about the radiation levels and always talked about how the robots of the old days "knew things." Now, with radiation levels reaching acceptable levels, Mouseman has appeared again.

Origins: Survivors
Traits: Technocratic
Capital Type: Urban Ruin (Pellicle Research ® - AKA Packard Automobile Plant)
Background:

Pellicle Research ® - Pushing the Boundaries of Progress!​

Pellicle Research ® dedicates itself towards doing what man a striven for since the first men began settling in lands of the fertile crescent: building better walls! Originally founded in 1946 as as Pellicle Netting in order to supply the United States Army with low-cost mosquito netting, Pellicle Research ® has moved leaps and bounds beyond those original goals. Pellicle Research ® windshields can be found in fusion-driven automotives, Pellicle Space Squares ® can be found in the American National Space Museum and you can find Pellicle Thermal Shields ® in Valut-Tec Vaults ®! Yes, indeed, Pellicle Research is helping civilization build the walls of Progress!

Subject: Expanding the Franchise



For years we have toiled and busied ourselves by shoring up the walls of
civilization. Soon, Pellicle Research, Inc. will be once again pushing against
the boundaries of our limitation. Soon, Pellicle and her employees will move
the wall of our company beyond the walls of our building. Remember,
the walls of our ingenuity are only as small as we let them be.

In preparation of our impending expansion, Pellicle Employees who wish
to participate directly in expansion must attend mandatory orientation
sessions. Sessions include, "So, The Sky Is Blue," "A Brief History of
Detroit," "'Arrrgh!' means 'Help!' (or The Importance of Team
Communication." Upon completion of orientation, an extra one quarter
ration of water will be provided.

Addendum: It has been brought to our attention that REDACTED
has been engaging in acts of REDACTED against REDACTED. As per company
regulations, it is our recommendation that REDACTED be terminated from his
position. Remember, discretion is key to avoiding exposing Pellicle Research
® and Pellicle's subsidaries to possible litigation.

I'll be in again EQ, I'll probably post my faction tomorrow.

I was going to offer to manage the map again, but i see that TerrisH beat me too it.

 

[TerrisH]

meh, I was board. feel free to help out with it you want, I'll add to as a collaborator if you want.

Pellicle Research added to the map. looks like the game is mostly going to be clustered around the great lakes.

Quisani, could you decrease the length of the ------- line? it's distorting my window on this forum.

 

[Tecknojock]

That'd be great.

Also, everyone post flags so that they can be added to the maps.

Sorry about that. I've a pretty big screen, so I was try to make things look clean on that.

 

[Terrance888]

Wow, lots of Technocracies. This'll be fun.

 

[TerrisH]

we know no other, and it is what we follow. what was once great shall rise and be so once again.

edit: whops, shrinking. annnddd shrunk

 

[Grandkhan]

Oh man, I'm, like, half a country away from everybody else. This may have been a bad starting point.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

The staff upon which the Banner of a New World shall be hoisted.


Edit: Grandkhan, come join us!

 

[Grandkhan]

Yeah, actually I'm going to revise my location. I'm sure there's plenty of mountains in the East Coast where NORAD can build a mountain base.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

GoodGOD terris, your logo is immense on the Map.

 

[TerrisH]

Oh man, I'm, like, half a country away from everybody else. This may have been a bad starting point.

still not to late to change it if you want. perhaphs they built NORAD under a mountian in the Appalachian range in the fall out world.

err sorry? go ahead and fix it if you want.. I'll try in a bit.

never mind, not sure it can be fixed. reduced the flags size, and it still comes up that big. thomas' flag is added.

 

[Terrance888]

Join us in Ohio! Build it at the Appalachians!

Just south of Youngstown there are some beautiful hilly/mountainous areas.

EDIT: Germanicus played Cheyenne mountain last time IIRC.

Seon did, I believe...

And, I'd imagine a NORAD base could be fairly close to DC. Somewhere in Maryland, or Pennsylvania.

 

[Grandkhan]

Turns out a lot of the large enough mountains in the Appalachians are way south. I'm going for Mount Davis, Pennsylvania. I'll edit my form.

Still far away enough for peaceful expansion, but not out in the middle of nowhere.

Man, I thought I was being really original with playing as NORAD. Curses

 

[TerrisH]

and, you moved.

hmm, your right in the center of things now. good location.

 

[Grandkhan]

Fixed up the form, through in a bit of Founding Fathers and Mountain worship to boot.

also, the banner of Nor-Ad

 

[ChiefDesigner]

Dude, why go with NORAD? There are half a dozen continuity of government locations in the area

Partial list:

Mount Weather
Greenbriar Hotel
Site R (Raven Rock) (this one was used in Fallout 3)

Actually, just go here:

[TerrisH]

GrandKahn? you want it at that place in ohio, or at mount davis, pensivania. I'm confused.
