Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
Four days ago I’ve got another strange dream, although I’ve only remembered (and quickly wrote down) a single scene - Adam getting congratulated by the Sarif while being in a some kind of art-decoed airlock, which wouldn’t look out of place in a “Hikōkyū 2”. If we go deeper from here, I think, that it’ll be like this:
At unknown moment (presumably, some time after deactivation of the Darrow’s signal and transmission of the Sarif’s message, which’ve resulted in the actions against the “Humanity Front” and gave transhumanists (Sarif Industries included) the upper hand), Deus Ex world got somehow linked to the Pokemon world.
Sarif Industries, being the first who’ve managed to get into the Pokemon world and create a colony of sort in it, are currently more powerful in it, than Illuminati, but sheer amount of conspiracies in both worlds and such may quickly change this. So far, only Sarif Industries and the Illuminati managed to get into the Pokemon world, and no one in the Deus Ex world has enough power to stop theirs progress.
To get a better hold in the Pokemon world, Sarif Industries currently tries to find a new markets in it, going even as far as creating products with systems based on those of theirs aug-products (Typhoon, Glass Shield cloaking system, Rhino reactive armor, Sarif Series 8 energy converter and so on) and providing cyber-services. So far, theirs best selling products are energy converter (which can turn food into electrical energy in a very short amount of time), wearable electrogravity-based Icarus Landing System (fall from any height and land safely) and several lines of Rhino reactive armor (self-explaining). They aren’t selling augmentations in the Pokemon world yet.
Malik and Pritchard are alive and well.
Adam is still working for the Sarif Industries. At the current moment, Adam tries to get some information from the Lawrence III.
Lawrence III did not know he was helping Illuminati, he was just developing an advanced gravity control and an AI systems for a customer, who gave him a lot of a great and valuable artworks (Illuminati are so Illuminati…) in response. To add to this, some of these artworks were not even from the Pokemon world, and that’s exactly what he would want - a something really unique.
Illuminati here are less powerful, than in the original (Jensen’s and Sarif’s actions, as well as actions arranged by theirs allies, delivered a huge blow to the Illuminati), but still are relatively well and kicking. However, they were only the second to get into the Pokemon world and now they have to avoid Sarif’s agents, while plotting new conspiracies. So far, they’ve succeeded in implating theirs agents in the some Teams and hiring Zero and Hunter J.
Because of the whole interworld-link situation, Sarif Industries became a major power in the Deus Ex world and currently is a decent threat to the Illuminati. They also have a lot of agents in both worlds, but still less than Illuminati.
Hunter J is willingly working with Tyrants - Illuminati strike force, happy about her new allies and thinks on getting augmented herself (for free, because Illuminati recognize great potential agent in her). After all, implanted cloaking system, underskin reactive armor, commlink, Icarus landing system, Typhoon explosive system and an arm-installed paralyzer cannon are pretty useful for the Hunter which has no problems with killing those who are trying to stop her. Also, being able to jump from great height (cloaked airship, for instance) and survive landing without even a scratch, while being invisible most of the time, is pretty useful for any Pokemon poacher. Fat paycheck is a nice addition.
Tyrants are pretty happy of their’s new agent, especially because of her stealth airship, which also has enough volume to place whatever they need in cargo bay and still have a loads of space.
Zero is working together with Illuminati scientists, because they’ve promised to help him with a Megarig and a Mecha-Giratina projects. Currently, he is working on AI, gravity control and a ACS (Abilities Copying System) projects. The last is especially important to the Illuminati, because, potentially, they may get powers of Arceus (and other Legendaries) with it. Beforehand, he worked on the interworld portals phenomenon research (the very reason why there are Deus Ex characters and organizations in the Pokemon world), until it was transferred to the Deus Ex-world science team.
Some of the Team Plasma and Team Galactic scientists are Illuminati agents in disguise.
If the events of one of the previous dreams are taken in the account, Team Cipher is working very closely with Illuminati, have created theirs own underwater fortress (disguised as an oil development station) with some Deus Ex technology installed in it (Hyron Project included) and currently are experimenting with Shadow Pokemon. So far, they’ve managed to get XD-??? (Shadow Lugia) to be able to disguise itself as a human and talk without usage of the telepathy.
I’ll post more later. If I’ll get really lucky, I may have another weird dream with even more events like this.
@blackjackgabbiani, what do you think about it?
Today, I’ve had a even more weird dream than before. Like a previous one that I’ve wrought about, it was mostly composed of random events, but I remember a Cipher agent (who happened to be a Shadow Lugia, cloaked somewhat like a Latias in the movie) teaching me and a lot of other people lesson about a Shadow Pokemon creation process, while I was silently hacking a computer, which was on my table, complete with Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s hacking GUI. For some reason, I was required to cancel the hack, and that was the moment when “teacher” revealed his true nature, but, unlike most people would expect, it was non-violent - he was very close to the Shadow Pokemon’s dex depiction and had next to no emotions, although his true form’s vocal voice was pretty threatening because of how growling it was, but his reveal of his true form felt like it was “me as example” moment. Fortunately, no panic began, so the lesson continued. Also, I remember some moments with Faridah Malik/Adam Jensen relationships in different places, which’ve implied, that he completely broke up with Megan Reed, who’ve cheated on him with Jaron Namir and Bob Page, and fell in love with “fly-girl”, which he’d saved a year or so ago, and, according to some data passing by, it was after David Sarif’s ending. Also, there was a moment with a big underwater map, on which was depicted a lot of things: fallen rockets (including two “Energia” rockets with boosters and “Buran” orbiters still on them), sunk ships and, most interesting, some Xbox huge underwater installation, which was marked as an oil development station, but left impression of a some kind of Cipher’s fortress complete with Deus Ex Panchaea technology, specificially, Hyron Project. Looks like I’ve played way too much Deus Ex and Pokemon yesterday.
