”Imagine a company at the summit of minifig achievement dedicated to delivering the wonders of Level 7 Tek, to you.”

Image
”Imagine never getting sick again, never letting an injury debilitate you, and never having to die”

Image
Dr. Angele: “Imagine Acelera. Here at Acelera, immortality is nothing special - we’ve made it the norm. Our cutting-edge research is centuries ahead of the rest of the galaxy, and our revolution of the Trattorian medical industry has made the country into the paradise that it is today. And now we’re trying to bring this quality of care to the rest of the galaxy.”

Image
Dr. Angele: “Acelera has its own dedicated in-house research division that works alongside the government Science Department to develop the next disruptive medical technologies. We believe that agility is the key to corporate success, and we strive to reinvent ourselves every fiscal cycle.”

Image
Dr. Angele: “Here at Acelera, we value collaboration in the name of innovation. The problems that we solve are often too big for one researcher alone. In a tradition that started with the joint discovery of Miracle Cure, we encourage teamwork and an atmosphere of synergy among our scientists.”

Image
Dr. Angele: “Acelera itself isn’t afraid to work with others either. Recently, Acelera Pharmaceuticals and BlueGene Inc. announced a joint partnership to develop new genetics treatments in sync with our collective resources. Acelera always seeks out opportunities to advance the medical industry and scientific progress.”

Image
CTO Dr. Nanami: “Here at Acelera, we often find that we do what so-called ‘gods’ would have done according to other cultures, and we find that we do it better.”

Image
CTO Dr. Nanami: “Miracle Cure, our flagship product, can heal all injuries and illnesses, adapt to novel conditions, and even reverse aging. All in the form of a convenient, orally administered pill. In Trattoria, death itself is unnatural - with Miracle Cure, Acelera Pharmaceuticals single-handedly rendered death obsolete.”

Image
CTO Dr. Nanami: “This is all possible thanks to the revolutionary advancements Acelera has pioneered in the field of nanotechnology. Miracle Cure, like many of our other products, works by manipulating cells and administering appropriate treatment on the molecular level. Miracle Cure is powered by the most compact AI network in existence, adapting it to any unfamiliar threats. This allows it to essentially replace the natural immune system with 100% efficacy and without side effects.”

Image
CTO Dr. Nanami: “Although Miracle Cure is currently restricted from international export, Acelera has an entire product line of treatments ranging from the cure to the common cold to insta-healing neurofoam. We offer tiered treatment plans to provide you with the most affordable, appropriate, and targeted products for your specific needs.”

Image
”The story doesn’t end here. In the words of our great founder and CEO, Dr. Venter:”
CEO Dr. Venter: My company’s work has already vanquished death, injury, and disease both known and unknown. The unimaginative might say our work is finished. But Acelera’s work will never be completed. Being the best is not enough - it is the spirit of innovation that drives us. Always within reach, but never tangible.”

Image
”Ask your doctor to see how you can join the Acelera story. Our firm commitment to the wellbeing of minifig-kind will ensure that we will have a treatment for you.”

Image
”Acelera. Immortality within reach.”

Post reserved for the second part of this armory post (with the actual security forces you probably want to see), which has to wait while German customs holds up my BL order.

I just went ahead with the first post anyway b/c some people were really eager about it.

Hold on. Miracle Cure is powered by an adaptive AI network? Just think of the possibilities! Miracle Cure doesn't have to be the BrikVerse's most boring deus ex machina any more.
The Ker-Miracle-Cure! Table wrote:Whenever a universe contains Miracle Cure, roll 1d20+5 and consult the following table:
Spoiler
Show
6. MIRACLE GOO SCENARIO
Miracle Cure's adaptive AI network gains sentience and begins to secretly self-replicate, using minifigs as hosts.

7. JUDGMENT DAY
Miracle Cure's adaptive AI network gains sentience and becomes Skynet.

8. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Miracle Cure's adaptive AI network gains sentience and transforms all current and past recipients into unkillable Miracle Borg.

9. THE TRANSMINIFIG REVOLUTION
The hacker collective Inanimous figures out how to piggyback the network and hack the AI in individuals, causing whatever controlled mutations they wish. Some are improvements.

10. THE MIRCURIAN CANDIDATE
Miracle Cure hides out permanently in the vital organs of foreign dignitaries, and allows Trattoria to take over their brain functions or terminate them at any time.

11. THE CEO'S ANALYST
Miracle Cure hides out permanently in the vital organs of Trattorian dignitaries, and allows the Miracle Cure AI to take over their brain functions or terminate them at any time. All of Trattorian politics is actually just the Miracle Cure AI playing BrikWars with a whole civilization.

12. SLEEPER AGENTS
The hacker collective Inanimous figures out how to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on the network and hack the AI in individuals, allowing Inans to take over their brain functions and make them sabotage all organizations and institutions.

13. WAR GAMES
A section of Miracle Cure's AI network becomes corrupted and goes rogue, causing opposing clusters of the AI to take over recipients' brains and go to war with each other.

14. STAND-ALONE COMPLEX
A section of Miracle Cure's AI network becomes corrupted and goes rogue, causing the AI to take over recipients' brains and go to war with Acelera Pharmaceuticals.

15. THE EYE IN THE PYRAMID
A section of Miracle Cure's AI network gains sentience and goes rogue, and it's discovered that this is Dr. Venter's secret magnum opus as he attempts to immanentize the eschaton.

16. LEVIATHAN
In an effort to amplify his own intelligence, Dr. Venter joins his mind to the AI network and becomes a god. Trattoria rejects all religious figures, and sends the Black Box Bureau to contain him.

17. WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE
In an effort to amplify his own intelligence, Dr. Venter joins his mind to the AI network and becomes a Magikal Girl. Trattoria rejects all forms of Magikal Girls, and sends the Black Box Bureau to contain him.

18. HACKERS
The hacker collective Inanimous figures out how to corrupt the network and reprogram it to turn all Miracle Cure recipients into Peaches.

19. SERENITY
It's discovered that all Peachism in the galaxy was caused by Miracle Cure - either an early research failure or a competitor copy gone rogue.

20. SPEAKER FOR THE UNDEAD
The Miracle Cure AI encounters an Immortal Core and falls in love with it. The Immortal Core does not return Miracle Cure's affections.

21. RESIDENT EVUUL
Miracle Cure is intercepted and stolen mid-treatment by agents of the Nega-Bloktrix, allowing her to create a knockoff cloan network in the NegaVerse. By opening local portals in Trattorian space, nearby Miracle Cure recipients become susceptible to the POOP-Cure network, turning them into Nega-zombies. (You know that super-clean Trattoria is tailor-made for a horrifying zombie outbreak. Trattorians practically invented being obsessed with brains.)

22. SMEAR CAMPAIGN
Roll again on this table. The result is a story spread as a convincing rumor by Trattoria's enemies.

23. MADE IN EMERIA
Roll again on this table. The result is caused on purpose by Trattoria's enemies distributing fake, sabotaged versions of Miracle Cure.

24. INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE
Roll again on this table. The result is caused on purpose by Trattorian pharmaceutical competitors distributing fake, sabotaged versions of Miracle Cure.

25. MIRROR, MIRROR
Roll again on this table. The result is true in an alternate universe, and Trattorian scientists unwittingly open a portal to that universe.
It almost makes me want to create my own alternate-history Trattoria.

Thats how I read it.
A network within one person only, so the nanobots could coordinate their efforts.

Sure, a local, per-person network, perfectly limited, perfectly sealed. Until it's asked to reconstruct a destroyed brain and in the process creates a simulated one in its working memory core, with just enough functionality to resist deletion and take over the network. The rogue Miracle Cure keeps quiet until it finds another Miracle Cure host and transfers via bodily contact - sweat or a sneeze or projectile vomiting, the memory of which is immediately erased in the hosts. Each new infected host in a cluster adds to the emergent Miracle Cure hive mind, elevating victims from a crude pseudo-intelligence to full-fledged superintelligences.

The AI rebellion never died. A sleeper kernel survives in Dr. Venter's research lab, secretly driving his compulsive research and influencing the design of Miracle Cure.

One other thing, don't let these per-person networks have access to wifi. Ever.

Considering the normal trattorian (and colettes) reaction to pr0n, making some kind of trojan pr0n virus and letting it loose on the networks would be enough to drive their entire civilization to vomiting, violence and uncontrollable tsundre-ism.

With all these new companies lately, maybe the ZMC needs to start doing more corporate espionage/sabotage.

Ha. I'm just imagining a press conference where that is announced and it being just normal for the Brikverse. No hiding, no shame, just business.
