Important Background Information
Teracom Labs International
TLI is a leading biological engineering corporation known in research circles, but definitely not a household name. The company actually began as a telecommunications company that made fortunes over fortunes by developing technology that revolutionized mobile data transmission and marketing to the data carriers of its day.
Fueled by the suffering and eventual death of his daughter in a losing battle to cancer, late CEO Werner Radler created an off-shoot biosciences division that blossomed into the cutting-edge research and development giant that is TLI today. The company’s many holdings in the lucrative fields of telecommunications and other profitable research divisions are largely funded into biological engineering, giving them the immense resources necessary in the creation of Triteia Station and Project Osiris.
Project Osiris
Project Osiris is the reason Triteia Station exists. Named after the Egpytian god of death and resurrection, Osiris is the study of materials found on the Pacific Ocean floor. The by-product of a unicellular creature with its habitat nestled in the Mariana Trench at the deepest point known as Challenger Deep, has been found in some circumstances to possess reactive characteristics capable of extraordinary healing and combating aggressive and otherwise fatal diseases. The problem? The short life-span of the materials made it so that the time to transport them from Challenger Deep up to traditional research facilities gave TLI mere hours to work with them before they were rendered inert. The result was Project Osiris -- a massive effort to create a research station at the source point.
Project Osiris seeks to recruit bioscience professionals and other experts in their fields from around the world to lead the cutting edge in this research at the depths of human’s ability to exist.
Triteia Station
Triteia Station (named after the mythological daughter of the Greek sea-god Triton) is the home of Project Osiris. A state-of-the-art research facility designed to allow for cutting-edge bioscience engineering and capable of sustaining comfortable human life in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Located at the edge of the Mariana Trench overlooking Challenger Deep, it is large enough to accomodate a maximum occupancy of 21, although never are that many personnel stationed there. The operations of the station, just to keep it running, can be handled with as few as three individuals with the proper mechanical training.
The various compartments of Triteia Station are dome-shaped pods with all construction designed with maximum efficiency at resisting the immense water pressure. The majority of the Station consists of inhabitable spaces for the mechanical workings of the station, reinforcement of the outer and inner hulls filled with pressurized piping and wiring. Much of the Station’s power comes from conversion of the hydrothermal dynamics of the region, using the heat created by the ocean’s undersea volcanoes. The pods are pressurized and sealed independently of one another in the event of flooding.
The research labs aboard Triteia are state-of-the-art and custom designed to the work needed.
The components of Triteia Station were actually built at the surface and then sunk down to their resting location, the final construction to connect all pressurized areas along with the joining to the power supply done at the bottom.
Transportation to and from the Station is conducted via a permanent oceanic elevator, massive cabling that connects Triteia to the surface world. A permanent facility on the surface serves only as an ingress and egress to the station below and is never permanently manned. The trip to and from the surface takes more than two hours to provide for the slow pressurization. Triteia is equipped with emergency escape pods, each capable of holding up to three crew members, which are designed to slowly ascend to the surface and emit a distress beacon. There is also a traditionally-maneuverable submersible craft attached to the station capable of housing limited personnel.
