Special Projects
FedCom is working on a number of unique special projects, intended to improve our nation and enrich civilization in general.
 Tatsu Eyrie:
Imagine stepping into a tunnel that looks like it was made from living trees. The vaulted ceiling curves high above, and stained glass windows paint brilliant patterns on the wooden floor. A pair of balconies line the two walls, supported by intricately carved curving wooden pillars. You approach the end of the tunnel, and it opens up into a giant bell-shaped spire, with circular balconies curving around the inside surface. The structure appears to softly glow with seemingly sourceless light.
You have just walked down the Great Hall of an arcology called "Tatsu Eyrie". This is FedCom's future capital city-structure. Shaped like a drawn bow & arrow, this peaceful structure is designed to serve and house the bulk of the population (especially a certain class of Cytrans).
Cytran Project:
"Cytran" is a portmanteau (blending) of the words "Cybernetic" and "Transplantation". Since February of 52 S.E. (2009 A.D.), FedCom scientists have been trying to figure out how to move a living human brain into a prosthetic body. The reasons for this are numerous, but the most important ones include: A) life extension by a factor of at least five; B) freedom to choose a form and appearance that the recipient is comfortable with; C) greatly enhanced physical abilities, endurance, and senses; D) the ability to operate in virtually any environment; E) immunity to all diseases, as well as most known toxins and hazardous chemicals.
Otherkin individuals should find this project especially appealing, since it is the only project of its kind in the world, and is thus the only way members of this subculture can physically become what they feel they should be. FedCom culture is highly receptive to the physical diversity that Cytran technology will bring, and the rights of Cytrans are guaranteed to match those of regular humans, without discrimination.
Great Temple of Mankind:
The Smithsonian Institute and the Library of Congress don't hold a candle to this project, which makes both look like a small-town museum and library by comparison. Designed to stand intact for millenia, the Temple is meant to be a repository of the sum of human knowledge and culture, like a giant time capsule for the perservation of our society. Should some cataclysm befall humanity, then perhaps some far-future civilization will uncover it and learn all about our species. It will ensure that even after humanity is extinct, it will not be forgotten.
