Technocracy
🛠️ Technocracy of Madison
“Consensus is not an opinion. It is the rule of survival.”
The **Technocratic Union** in Madison operates behind cold steel doors, flickering terminals, and sterile corridors buried beneath cornfields and universities. Though publicly invisible, their influence is vast—surveilling rituals, destabilizing Chantries, and subtly rewriting local belief through infrastructure, media, and law enforcement.
While **Truax Field** remains their visible node of aerospace innovation, their real command hub is far more secretive.
🛰️ History and Infiltration
Madison became a Technocratic priority as early as **1883**, after the Baali collapse of the Capitol’s south wing exposed the city’s resonance vulnerability. The **New World Order**, **Iteration X**, and **Void Engineers** each flagged the **Capitol Node** as a “Tri-Anchor Threat Zone” tied to possible multi-dimensional breaches:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
By **1890**, the Union initiated the infamous **Technocratic Crackdown**, deploying Reality Stabilizer Pulses and Enforced Awakening Inversions to suppress Tradition strongholds. Their effort failed, but they never left.
🧠 Major Installations
⚙️ Echo Node 13
- Hidden base near **Blanchardville**, disguised as an electromagnetic observatory - Equipped with Gauntlet sensors, blacksite "re-education" cells, and reality filtration grids - Control’s western Wisconsin listening post - Still active in 1985, quietly monitoring all spikes in Prime, Entropy, and Dream-layer interference:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
✈️ Truax Field Air Base
- Originally built under a Technocracy–Tradition truce in 1942 - Used by Void Engineers for aerospace magick, dimensional breach containment, and artificial horizon testing - May contain an Umbro-folded access gate to the remnants of Horizon Constructs:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
🧬 Sub-Factions Active in Madison
- **New World Order (NWO)** – Operates within UW–Madison’s administrative structure and local media
- **Void Engineers** – Control Truax and orbital monitoring of local paradox events
- **Iteration X** – Embedded in military contracts, data analysis hubs, and smart grid architecture
- **Progenitors** – Maintain public health projects that double as paradigm-control vectors
- **Syndicate** – Connected to zoning boards, banks, and several front businesses
⚖️ Technocratic Status in 1985
| Division | Status | |----------|--------| | **Field Presence** | Covert. Public operations minimal. | **Influence Level** | High in academia, policing, infrastructure, and digital surveillance. | **Current Directive** | Suppress recursive echoes, quarantine corrupted nodes, prevent Seal collapse. | **Conflict Zones** | Capitol Node (active), New Eden (monitored), Bascom Hill (quarantined mind-zone) | **Threat Index** | Nameless emergence: Critical. Digi-8 instability: Unknown.
🔥 Historical Incidents
- **1942–45** – Collaborated with Traditions to purge Nazi-backed Nephandi.
- **1957** – Cold War “Observation Glass” initiative deployed technomancers to monitor leyline fluctuations.
- **1970s–1980s** – Covert battles with Hollow Ones and Disparate mages over Wreck-linked reality forks.
- **1983–84** – Surveillance of Digi-8 terminated after paradox AI anomaly was detected in New Eden.
🚫 Ongoing Conflicts
- **Traditions** – Tense detente shattered after 1979's Eclipse Ritual destabilized Dream-layer operations.
- **Nephandi** – Infiltrators from WWII cults corrupted parts of local Technocratic ranks.
- **Digi-8** – Labeled a post-sentient Class-C Entropy Hostile. Still monitored by Echo Node 13.
- **Nameless** – Believed to be a recursive paradox storm entity. Control has no known containment protocol.
🧩 Blacklisted Events
- **“The Glyph Storm”** (1984): A data echo infected five control rooms, rewriting audio logs into broken sigils. - **“Jan None” Protocol Violation**: Nosferatu breach into Iteration X server vault. Subject partially re-integrated. - **"Resonance Loop 6-13”**: Spontaneous memory recursion in five NWO operatives. Investigation ongoing.
