But it was given a very brief mention in SOA. It's been a long time since Shockwaves came out in German only Can we at long last have some answers to...... What happened to Proteus AG? What was their true agenda? ( I figured some sort of survivalist agenda ) Do they still follow this agenda or has the leadership behind it gone bye-bye?

Great, I'm a Dragon... Group: Retired Admins Posts: 6,699 Joined: 8-October 03 From: North Germany Member No.: 5,698	They're not destroyed, they're under control of a corporation board. Don't have Shockwaves at hand, so i can't come with further details.

When it was finally discovered the megas were a little bit annoyed and argued sucesfully, to the Corporate Court I'd assume, that since it was their money that helped found the company that they should own it. The old board members got a bullet to the back of the head and the megas they were from nominated their own people to replace them on the board. This is from a while back so you might want one of the German board members to verrify it, but Proteus was made up of a consortium of company men from AG Chemie, Cross Applied Technologies, IFMU, Shiawase (replacing Fuchi when the corp split), Yamatetsu and Ruhrmetall. The mention in one of the SotA books about Ares Thor shot-ing one of Proteus' arkoblocks near the Romo islands was to open the thing up to allow a runner team to get in and access the corps standalone central database to prove what they suspected. It was one of the German published adventures. Amusingly it was called Deep Blue IIRC, a double joke. :)
