CASE NAME: Opposing OTO REPORTED BY: N/A, Community-wide concern DATE: Ongoing issue since 2016 WHO IS INVOLVED: The OTO is a global threat, and affects all imPorts. HOW IS AEGIS GETTING INVOLVED: Mainly as investigators, but also on-hand to respond to further crises as needed. Aegis does not have a monopoly on this mission, and many imPorts are involved in anti-OTO efforts. INFORMATION AVAILABLE: The Otherworld Technologies Organization (OTO) is a powerful entity formed by defectors from the government that has engaged in terrorism against imPorts and ordinary people to advance dangerous cutting-edge scientific research. The OTO is not a monolithic faction, and appears to be divided between different cells and aligned corporations with different ideas and goals. In past events they've attacked with artificial monsters, cloned imPorts, killer satellites, blackouts, robots, and even a secret base with nuclear weaponry in orbit around Mars (since destroyed, along with most of the moon of Phobos).
Their resources and influence appear to be immense, and at this time they are not considered a criminal or terrorist organization by the world's governments, and still do business legally. They also appear to be in contact with Atropos. Current OTO projects may include research into metahuman abilities and attempts to politically sway other countries.
As more information has emerged regarding the two apparent main factions within the OTO, Aegis Force has established the following codenames to help distinguish between them:
Otis refers to the elements of the OTO who favour less destructive and more scientific methods, whose goal is to send all imPorts home, and who appear to be open to communication with imPorts and even cooperation on their multidimensional research. 'Otis' has been linked to anti-government vandalism and mysterious messages in Maurtia Falls, soliciting imPorts to spy on the government for them, and a failed Porter experiment in De Chima which caused the 'Shimmer' disaster that claimed 600 lives. Their communication and actions suggests a reckless approach to pursuing knowledge at any cost.
Otto refers to the more militant elements of the OTO who seek the total destruction of imPorts and their allies. They are considered extreme even within the OTO. They established a network of combat satellites in Earth orbit and a secret nuclear base on the moon of Phobos, in orbit around Mars, and attempted to destroy Heropa. These assets have since been destroyed, but it's known that 'Otto' continues to pursue horrifying and dangerous experiments into creating new metahuman powers. All attempts to negotiate with this faction have thus far failed.
While these subfactions have different approaches to their goal of a world without imPorts, they are not in true conflict with each other. Each faction has its own set of corporations aligned with it, like Pandora for 'Otis' and Perrault for 'Otto' (both currently defunct). Both of them have been in contact with Atropos in search of her aid for their agendas.
These codenames will be updated if and when more facets of the OTO emerge. Current Aegis policy is to remain open to communication with 'Otis' while seeking to neutralize 'Otto,' but to combat any dangerous action by any element of the OTO that could threaten lives, and continue publicizing the OTO's threat to help sway global authorities toward recognizing the organization as a criminal entity.
