Pre Incident Technology
Before the Incident, the world moved right along and innovation grew each day. Researchers were finding more and more things out about the world, and they were making huge advancements in all areas from biotechnology to transportation and construction.
BIOTECH & MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS
Universal Inoculation Protocols — cures for all human diseases via targeted immune‑training. A controversial initiative that faced much pushback from the population. (2025)
Genome Mapping Completion — full human genome mapped (2023).
Cancer Fully Understood & Treatable (2027)
Organ Weaving Pods — grow replacement organs from patient cells; revolutionary technology created first in India and immediately shared with the rest of the world. (2035)
Genetic Repair Inoculation — gene‑correction inoculation (2065)
Metabolic Modulators — regulate sleep, stamina, and cognition (2045)
Dream‑Mapping Interfaces — record neural activity during sleep (2067)
Pathogen‑Neutralizing Air Systems — destroy airborne pathogens in public spaces; military technology released to the rest of the world after ten years use (2024)
ENVIRONMENTAL & PERSONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Climisuits — temperature‑adaptive suits that originated in military use, they never reveal how long they’ve had the technology. As global warming becomes more severe, these become more and more important. They appear as a set of tight-fitting clothing with circuitry woven throughout it. They are washable and foldable without damaging them. (2054)
Lab-Grown Meats—Meats are created in a lab and distributed instead of farming animals. The meats are identical to farmed meat, with the same nutrients and taste. The world embraces it as another way to slow down global warning and animal activists celebrate. Conspiracy theories abound, however, which are generally ignored. (2032)
Personal Climate Domes — portable micro‑environment generators (2059)
Smart Architecture— walls that shift opacity/insulation (2079)
Solar Glass—Glass that automatically acts as solar panels without blocking view (2075)
Zero‑Waste Fabricators — recycle trash into usable materials (2089)
ENERGY & PHYSICS TECHNOLOGIES
Quantum‑Tethered Batteries — ultra‑dense entangled energy storage, they are initially built and tested in a large lab in Nebraska, luckily in an area that had few people living nearby when the first meltdown occurred (2091, first meltdown)
Gravity Modulators — reduce weight of materials for construction. Introduced by the Worldwide Builders Association, an engineering collective including several countries’ brightest builders and engineers (2072)
Atmospheric Ion Harvesters — extract electrical charge from air; while incredibly innovative, these do not generate nearly enough energy for the world’s needs. They are inexpensive alternatives to more costly solar panels, and they do not require much space (2112)
Sub‑Planck Sensors — detect spacetime fluctuations (first Nexus hints), the team that first detects them is based out of Anchorage, Alaska, and it quickly spreads throughout the world with people trying to deepen their knowledge (2084)
Resonant Energy Lensing — bend energy fields through spacetime distortions (2114)
Stabilized Micro‑Wormholes — short‑lived wormholes for data transfer (2062)
Quantum‑Mesh Network — near‑instant global communication (2061)
Localized Gravity Modulators — industrial weight‑reduction tools (2072)
TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES
Hovercars — magnetic‑lift personal vehicles with extremely heavy batteries that make the cards very heavy, and initially they have a two-hour run time. As technology improves, they become smaller, lighter, and have longer battery life. However, they consume large amounts of energy. The first maker of hovercars was a Taiwanese company named Xing Motors which only made hovercars.
Mag‑Slip Transit Lines — frictionless high‑speed rail (2056)
Personal Hover Platforms — small lift‑boards for couriers/rescue (2073)
Autonomous Convoy Roads — self‑driving freight highways (2051)
COMPUTING & INTERFACE TECHNOLOGIES
Neuro‑Interface Assistants — hands‑free device control (2029)
Predictive Cognitive Engines — advanced behavioral modeling AI (2125)
FOOD & RESOURCE TECHNOLOGIES
Nutrition Pills — expand in stomach, provide full daily nutrition, takes a long time to be available to the general population due to licensing rights and ethical arguments of distribution to third world countries (2030)
Atmospheric Water Harvesters — pull clean water from humidity; created and manufactured by billionaire philanthropist Gene Masser. (2015)
Zero‑Waste Fabricators — recycle trash into usable goods (2089)
CROSS‑REALM SCIENCE & EXPERIMENTAL TECH
Substrate Field Research — early misunderstanding of Nexus membrane
Cross‑Dimensional Noise Detection — first measurable signs of other realms
Early QEBS Components — precursor tech to Tanner Lights
Portal Stabilization Experiments (PIK) — attempts to reverse the Incident
