Tessaract Bio-Systems

Leader

Dr. Sera Ondine, Chief Science Officer (the Board is technically in charge; Ondine ignores them)

Structure

Flat research culture on paper; in practice, Ondine's lab teams operate autonomously and report only to her. Corporate governance exists to keep investors calm.

Goals

Develop and sell biological augmentations, genetic therapies, and psi-amplification treatments. Their real ambition: crack the biological basis of Drift-sensitivity and commercialize it.

Philosophy

The body is unfinished. Evolution abandoned us at the threshold of something greater. They will complete the work -- for a fee.

Limits

Ondine refuses to deploy biological weapons or design pathogens for warfare. Her research has caused accidental deaths in the dozens -- but deliberate mass death is a line she has never crossed and claims she never will.
