Gizmonic Institute / DEEP13

Gizmonic Institute, sometimes shortened to Gizmonics, is a top research laboratory that originated deep below the surface of the planet known as Earth. The institute has a multitude of developments ranging from bio-spheres, to research satellites, to advanced materials such as high-density Kevlar and molybdenum. Originated in 1988, Gizmonic Institute is one of the Universe’s oldest functioning research facilities. The unorthodox methods and far fetched inventions of the Forrester workforce has kept the company far ahead of its competition. Being one of the first private corporations to launch and host a space station, as well as inventing one of the first and most complicated forms of autonomous robotic AI, Gizmonic Institute has been a leader of technological advancement. While NASA, the Soviet Space Program (and eventually SpaceX) were at the grindstone attempting reusable rockets and commercial space flight, Gizmonics had already mastered space travel in the form of a Volkswagon van, as well as intergalactic and trans-dimensional transportation. If those feats were not enough, Gizmonic Institute had also recorded multiple interactions with varying life-forms, both alien and from alternate universes. Being an equal opportunity employer, Gizmonic Institute was one of the first corporations to employ extraterrestrials – the first two members included a talking gorilla named “Bobo” and an omnipotent, hyper intelligent being known as “Observer”, whose race had transcended beyond physical form… but still had one anyway.

As much as Gizmonic Institute is pioneering in the forms of creation and invention, they were also one of the most destructive forces in the known Universe. At the hands of one of the employees, Mike Nelson, assisted by the two aforementioned robotic AI, they destroyed 3 entire planets and eradicated 2 newly discovered races, as well as multiple Earth based global positioning satellites and the Hubble Telescope. Since it’s origin, Gizmonic Institute, as well as its subsidiary company DEEP13, has been, and forever shall be, a formidable source of science, technology and research. We shall continue change the Universe through whatever cockamamie scheme we see fit.
