The Taelons

• Technology
  • CVI: The implant is capable of curing congenital deafness.
  • The Fixed-link Inter-dimensional Travel Project, commonly referred to as the Portal Project, was tested for more than a year and has been in operation for two months. There is a portal between Los Angeles and New York, one between New York and London, and another planned between Moscow and New Delhi. Individuals are genetically scanned before entering the portal platform and are placed in stasis during transit. The project, under the stewardship of Zo’or, was being used to secretly gather genetic data, which was then used to delay travelers with high intelligence (as well as judges and politicians) for implantation with CVIs—or in the case of women of child-bearing years, an artificially-created fetus. The Taelon facility on the moon contains a lab to which travelers in the portal system are re-routed. Da’an believed the portal project would undermine humanity’s trust of the Taelons.

The Liberation

• Dr. Park has been with the Liberation since its beginning.
