Thanks to a team of imPort scientists who took their time and resources to investigate and research imPocreats, we finally have some news regarding them. To those who aren't familiar, ImPocreats - also known as Impossible Creations - are a holographic-and-cyborg technology developed by OTO when it was still one of DARPA's branch.

OTO offered some to imPorts during a Swear-In, and even though we have learned OTO is trying to clone us, steal our powers, attack us and probably create some sort of genetic aberrations that might eventually try to kill us, some imPorts still kept those things around. [ he is sort of judging you for that, to be honest. ] In any case, apart from the first imPocreats that some imPorts were willing to give us to study, we found mutated imPocreats during the Liechtenstein mission and also during the Heaven Scent raid which we took to study, and someone was able to retrieve an imPocreat that attacked Philadelphia during July last year.

Our team of scientists was able to conclude that the first imPocreats offered by OTO at the Swear-In were a prototype and they are seemingly harmless. For now. The mutated cyborgs were modified in several different ways, however. It was clear that OTO and Heaven Scent scientists were trying to give the cyborgs imPort powers, which didn't seem to quite work; they also tried to see how far the imPocreats' biology could be modified, like trying to create powers for them or trying to make them survive in surreal conditions.

For now, none of these experiments seem to have worked, but I think it's safe to say OTO will keep trying.

I am not a scientist so I can't give you more details, but the team of imPorts who worked on this are around the network and if they wish to make themselves known, they'll answer.

Kill us...!?

[Wtf no one mentioned-- okay, so Sabriel definitely said something about them being cyborgs that had caused some kind of trouble beforehand, but Blue still wasn't convinced that these creatures were bad, in and of themselves.]

[He looks to Fubuki off-camera, keeping to herself in the corner of his room since he adopted her, and furrows his brow in worry.]

We don't know that for sure though, right? Why should we assume they're all bad if only some of them hurt people?

[ BLUE DON'T NAME IT... ]

They were a gift from OTO, a company that, among many other things, has thought about building a machine that is likely to cause a massive heat death of the universe.

Even if they look sweet and are seemingly harmless, they did come from these people.

[HE DIDN'T NAME IT, HE ADOPTED IT.]

A what... death? Whatever, but but that's not their fault, is it?

Just because the people that made them are bad... Can't they just be taught differently?

[There are no bad Pokémon, Kaneki. Just bad trainers! He should know.]

[ghoulking]

They are not really alive. And their AI is incredibly basic compared to the AIs of mutated imPocreats, even.

You can't really teach them anything, they are already programmed with what they should know.

[No...No, Red refuses to accept this. Even man-made Pokémon like Mewtwo could overcome what their creators had intended them for. Ebi is innocent, he knows it. They've bonded, okay? He's as much part of Red's family as any of Red's other Pokémon are. He can't entertain the thought for a second that he might try to hurt him...]

theyre not all bad
they cant b

[ what is wrong with you people ]

They are bad if their programming says they are. Which was built by people who are pretty bad and can certainly take advantage of this "pet" idea imPorts have of the cyborgs.

[versusseeker]

u dont kno that

[The denial is strong in this one.]

ebi has nvr done anything 2 hurt me or any1

Here's a question that doesn't involve overreactions by grown men who are disturbingly attached to their toys: what constitutes "surreal conditions"?

[ The whole thing is already low-key terrifying, but that phrase just sets off so many alarm bells. It implies travel to places that probably don't exist in this dimension. ]

[ thank God ]

They were attempting to create organic matter - organs, skin - that would be able to survive extremely high and low pressures, zero-gravity, no oxygen, probably much more. They even created actual living organs for the imPocreats, but according to the team, these couldn't survive outside the tanks we found them in.

voice.

[glowsferatu]

So. Do you think they were trying to send them beyond this planet? Or...beyond even that?

These are troubling findings you and the others have uncovered, Kaneki. The OTO has clearly been laying their plans against us for quite some time.

Text

[ghoulking]

They have. And they will come back with something new, we are certain of that.

Text

[dun_moch]

We cannot allow them to gain the initiative with new weapons. We must continue hunting them down wherever they may be found. This will not end until they are eliminated once and for all.

[bindsthedead]

Well, I have access to one of the imPorts that were given as gifts, if any scientist wants to examine it. Or we can look at their programming- maybe there's some way we could hijack them and turn the OTO's weapons against them.

text

[ghoulking]

We had some to study as well. Their AI is really basic, but it's still a program with a lot of code which could hide something we aren't seeing. That's the main worry.

Unless we erase all of the code and make a program ourselves, but I don't know if anyone would have enough patience for that.

text

[bindsthedead]

Like a way to spy on, or turn on us- although we'd know more about that by examining them physically, to see if there are any weapons hidden in them, or looking at the programming related to their holograms.

[lempereur]

...why would someone want to keep anything from OTO, potential weapon or otherwise, knowing what they have done?

text;

[ghoulking]

I believe most simply don't have any basic knowledge of what an AI is and how developed - or not - an AI can be.

Because these games were given a rather cute physical body, some seem to have grown attached to them in quite unusual ways.

[lempereur]

I don't know much about AIs, myself, but the source tells me all I need to know.

OH COOL UNHOLY ABOMINATIONS CREATED BY SCIENCE
just take them all apart if they're not even alive who cares

text

[ghoulking]

So, your idea is to keep them very close to us, even if there is a really big chance they will try to murder us.

No, I will not take that chance, regardless of how you feel about a roomba.

Re: text

[knaval]

what....
no i said get rid of them all
chuck them all in to a garbage dump
they're not alive
so
??? doesn't matter

[andtherevolution]

are they still making them? the impocreats i mean.

text;

[ghoulking]

OTO has been declared a traitor to the nation and imPorts, so they are not creating them on national territory.

But they had many in their labs, so I've a feeling they probably are - wherever their laboratories are.

[andtherevolution]

lucky us... i wonder why they didn't turn out like the clones tho. those things seem pretty stable.
