Collab 1 - feel free to do whatever with this very basic format!! Like we stated before it should be in the Rifttech Universe, and I've been writing lore for this universe for a while, so please read and maybe this can give you an idea of what to make this game about: THE RIFTTECH FILES: Rifttech: Rifttech is a large national conglomerate founded by Director Alistair Vance in the country of Cragshore in 1976. Over the years, Rifttech has become a monopoly on the trade of ARM substance, weapon manufacturing, anomalous containment and exploitation, and general goods and behind-the-scenes, controls the country of Cragshore itself. In the very beginning, Rifttech was simply a small arms dealer who manufactured and sold weapons to small organizations such as Kryntal, however after an employee encountered an ancient anomaly, X-1, also known as The Crystal, the goal changed. X-1 was capable of producing nearly unlimited, stable energy and Director Vance quickly took advantage of this by selling excess energy produced by The Crystal to other companies and even countries. This allowed Rifttech to expand incredibly rapidly. With the newfound money and power they had gained from The Crystal, Rifttech expanded to several locations and sites for mass weapons and technology manufacturing and anomaly containment, with the primary laboratory, ARM quarry, and anomaly containment facility being ARCHOS, or Abyssal Resource Containment & Harvesting Operational Sector being constructed in 1984. Rifttech realized that several of the anomalies that they had collected over the years could be used as weapons or exploited for financial gain. Rifttech eventually became the primary dealer for ARM (anomalous reactive material) substance, as they had recently found a massive ARM ore vein near an underwater volcanic site located next to Rifttech’s primary laboratory, ARCHOS. With this discovery, Director Vance commissioned the construction of three RT-99 Magma Goliaths in order to mine the ARM, however two were deconstructed after ARM grew dry in the Magma Rig, leaving RT-99 Magma Goliath – “Sisyphus” as the last running one. Rifttech was the only seller of ARM until Vanguard Drift Corp (VDC) got a hold of ARM. What followed was Operation: Downpour where Vanguard Drift Corp’s primary headquarters was infiltrated and destroyed by airdropping several anomalies into the building. Vanguard Drift Corp was annihilated, but a small part of the company still survived and sought revenge against Rifttech. The events of ‘ARCHOS’ and ‘The Shaft’ were both caused by the remaining members of VDC where they use a digital trojan horse disguised as an important data packet. This allowed VDC access to Rifttech’s mainframe and opened all anomalous containment cells, releasing all entities contained in ARCHOS to wreak havoc upon the facility. Most, however, were killed by guardsmen early into the breach. VDC also managed to override Magma Goliath Sisyphus’s programming, causing it to begin to lay waste to ARCHOS. Rifttech is split into several different divisions that handle different responsibilities in order to maintain the long-term success of the company: Operation: Downpour: Due to VDC bleeding Rifttech’s profits by flooding the market with a cheap, unrefined alternative, Director Vance and the high council decided that legal action or a standard raid on the facility would draw a lot of public attention and outrage and instead opted for the clean removal of VDC’s primary headquarters. The goal was to eliminate VDC’s leadership, steal their research, gain control over The Basalt Bluffs, and blame it on a tragic, industrialized accident. Rather than sending in soldiers at first, they airdropped and then deployed two heavy duty containment pods containing two of Rifttech’s most dangerous and volatile anomalies. The execution was swift and efficient. Within 45-minutes, 90% of VDC’s workforce was eliminated. The anomalies fully wiped out upper management, leaving no survivors. Rifttech recovery teams then moved in, retrieving their anomalies by administering Somnolin, a powerful, military-grade compound used to sedate powerful anomalies and safely transport them. The team then neutralized any remaining personnel, obtained any valuable research assets, and left the facility in complete ruin. The Basalt Bluffs was then quickly seized by Rifttech, turning it into another ARM mining quarry for the company.
uhh i added the files changed some designs for a temporary thing, i had a few questions that i want you to check out
