RSX

Basic Information

RSX, in partnership with Zephyr, was one of the two corporations involved in the creation of the Promethean Nanites. They are headquartered in Woodfield, Washington State, and are currently no longer in partnership with Zephyr. The primary thing that RSX was known for previously to the advent of the nanites was military weapons and technology contracts.

Background

RSX Solutions was founded in the early 1900s as a government funded scientific lab. Their lab coats were stiffly starched from the start and it never quite changed from then. With the emergence of importance in the microprocessor, the lab slowly focused its studies on it, developing cutting edge electronics in the highly competitive market, reaching for as much government funding as it could get. When offered the chance to develop Prometheus, RSX Solutions was eager. The funding was nearly limitless. The catch, they had to partner with Zephyr Incorporated, a 100% civilian run bio firm that wouldn't know confidentiality procedures and proper testing protocols if their life depended on it. RSX Solutions, remaining ever professional, agreed to the partnership. The results are what we have now. The nanites were created, and unleashed improperly.

Some say RSX Solutions is to blame. It was their circuitry that controlled the nanites in the first place, after all. Where else could it have gone wrong? RSX Solutions denies this. RSX Solutions also levies claims of crimes on Zephyr Inc for avoiding proper inoculation of their employees against the nanites. "We've had an anti-nanite inoculation procedure since half-way into the project. I cannot fathom why the 'Management' of Zephyr Incorporated would choose to not make it easily available, and indeed a requirement, to those who work for them."

RSX Solutions employees are all given free and easy access to anti-infection inoculation (Consider resistance or immunity merits as RP-essential choices for this faction). Employees who degrade themselves or who often change mutations are discriminated against, and can look forward to a sturdy glass ceiling in the corporation if they don't get their bodies and minds back under control.
