Dr. Adam Caecelius


A skittish and meek researcher who is good with others despite his nature. Genuine and accommodating, but a little too easy to trick. He manages Halcyon's staff and is a more hands-off manager as opposed to handling experiment subjects.Birthday: July 6th

Our Mission

Halcyon Labs exists to enrich the lives of those on Ether by making use of raw materials taken from Oracles. Known for their immense size and elusive nature, Oracles' biomass can be used to heal, rejuvenate, and even see into the past!Halcyon is in charge of locating dead or dying* Oracles and sending teams specifically trained to extract and transport the organs, skin, eyes, and more back to our lab to be experimented with. So far, our research has led to amazing breakthroughs in fields such as skincare, surgery, pharmaceuticals, the arts, and divination!*PLEASE NOTE: HALCYON LABS WILL NEVER KILL AN ORACLE. TO DO SO IS AGAINST CELESTIAL LAW AND MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE. THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO REACH THE DYING ORACLE WILL LEAD TO IT PASSING AWAY NATURALLY.

Memory Core Processing Unit GalahadOur state of the art memory analysis and processing unit. Thanks to the recent breakthroughs in the extraction of memory cores from Oracle biomass, we are now able to peek into these amazing beings’ memories. The imagery gleaned is still in the early phases of materializing, but we are confident that in the near future we will be able to fully understand the history of Oracles thanks to these memory cores.Using augers operated by our most qualified members, we extract samples of the brain matter from deceased Oracles. These samples are then hooked up to Galahad to begin the process of extraction. Memories are projected through a specialized lens and we are able to begin transcribing what we see. Though we are held back by our human perception of things, we are learning more about Oracles every day.Processing Unit Aglovale
The original prototype of the Memory Core Processing Unit created by Dr. Emiah Soterios during his thesis. This prototype is currently in storage and does not see daily use. Even though it is retired, it has served our mission in countless ways!
Lunar Drilling Squad H-α
This part of our team is stationed at the lunar drilling base, Llyr. They periodically return to Halcyon with raw materials as well as new discoveries regarding our moon.
↳Lunar Drilling Squad H-β
Smaller reserve team stationed on Halcyon unless more hands are requested by team H-α

Halcyon Labs was founded in 3495 after Emiah Soterios graduated from DSU with his thesis project garnering significant praise and interest. After creating the first prototype of the Memory Core Processing Unit, Emiah was scouted by the RIDS to form his own group of researchers.

Log Date 2/6/3505I mean, I figured as soon as they wouldn’t let us land in the safe zone that we were screwed. I’ve sort of accepted that. We’re not going to get to go home, and I’ve started to make my peace with that. I saw what she looks like now. Those angry, gnarled, twisting red spears. It looks like the entire planet is inflamed and pustulent. We were due for a new extinction event, so I’m just glad I made it this long.

- Lial

Log Date 2/8/3505They’re calling those things Harbingers. Alkonost still won’t give us permission to land in the safe zone. They’re not even telling us why, I think they don’t want us to panic. I get it… I guess. After all, I don’t think people like Agathe would be able to keep doing their jobs if they knew what was going on. But then again, do they just want us to wait until something else happens? Do they even know what they’re doing in Ring 1? I haven’t heard a single transmission from them since the moon split open.

- Lial

Log Date 2/11/3505Well, Ring 1 is gone. We got a bit closer to Alkonost than we were supposed to and picked up some of their chatter. Seems like comms are a total mess and everyone is just sort of doing whatever they can or want to. The chain of command is starting to get a bit messy with Caladrius trying to step up and take Chimera’s place. The mood around here is pretty apathetic. Adam’s not taking losing his parents well at all, I haven’t seen that guy get that upset before. I’m lucky that I left everything down there settled before all of this happened.

- Lial

Log Date 2/12/3505Things aren’t doing so hot around here. Every time I wake up someone else is crying. The Director keeps trying to keep us busy and telling us we’ll manage, but I don’t know if I even want to get through this. Everyone is gone. All we can do is take core samples from those pillars and look into their brains again, but they’re gone.

- Lial

Yes, I’m assuming most of those living on Ether at the time of the Crying Rapture are in there. You just have to find the spot where they died. You know what happened at the Lunar Drilling sites, right? All of them turned into those… pillars. I don’t know what else you want to call them. Yeah, they found all of the missing employees huddled together in a room with their suits off. They were all fusing together and were covered in that metallic shit. Listen, I don’t know, ok!? I’m just the guy that heard this from ███, I wasn’t there. I almost worked at one of those Drilling Sites. Yeah, some of my buddies worked there. Yeah, yeah. Thanks. I can’t worry about that right now. How’s the Inner Echelon holding up? I know you guys are making a landing to pick up more memory core samples soon.Call from Echelon Ring 6 Research Facility Alkonost to Echelon Ring 2 Research Facility Caladrius on 5/15/3505

I watched the sky rip open, and a horrible red orb focused its gaze upon me. Well, upon us. That’s to say, it was far too big to just be looking at me. Inside the shell of the moon, there was a rumor going around that there was a gigantic metallic sea with a core floating inside. Not unlike mercury, but we had no idea what this alloy was down here.Those of us left to dig at the Ether received these snippets of information much slower than the gossip rings of the Echelons, so by this point in time a metallic sea was most likely old news. I’d guess the guys up there would already know what it is.Well, I could see the inside of the moon at this point. That metallic sea was indeed there, but it was… hardening? It was like this shell of the moon was erupting, and this red orb was its child. Despite the horror of my situation, I had enough humor left in me to liken it to an egg breaking open. Hah! I guess I wasn’t that far off. What a horrid child this egg harbored inside. I wish they had never gone up there and cracked it open. What a waste.Memory siphoned from Biomass Dig Site # ███
