Nacralium Co.

The following is unfinished & WIP

**This article was written to satisfy Prompt 14 of Summercamp 2021.**

**Final writing, polish and accompanying images will come later.**

The company Nacralium used to be a 3D printing tech manufacturing firm if you can believe it. Oddly it was that which set them up to be one of the earliest and most ambitious companies to duplicate their own Laruian Portal with the help of the Free and True Knowledge Act. Having all the materials and machinery, they 3D printed a copy of the original Laruian Portal in the town of New Mapleview, which at the time was the location of their company headquarters. This is general knowledge to most people, including how since then New Mapleview has been abandoned by it's citizens and has existed in a state of quarantine ever since, due to a large breech of uncontained wild laruia from that first Nacralium portal. The place still remains closed off, and nobody really knows what Nacralium Co. is doing to resolve the issue or if they are making any progress at all. For all we know the gate is still open allowing a near constant stream of horrors into our dimension, but without a lack of real governmental oversight in Wynstonne, the company can basically get away with what they want. Most speculate that wild laruia are leaking through the quarantine and are entering surrounding areas as well.
But, Nacralium has been up to a lot more than this, and these are less known facts...
In the early days of the discovery, the Nacralium Co. had procured a boarding school in the foothills outside the city called the Ellori Sira Academy. At the time of discovery, Generation Scion, one of the four gens, were only small children, all aged 5. Nacralium began to round up all children they could find born within the Gen Sci timeframe... through convincing parents to send them to their special school, or finding kids in the adoption system and roping them in, or some even rumored they were involved in kidnapping. The effort was, in effect, a way they had collected power. They took children who would become the some of the most powerful elite in world, brainwashed them within their school, or at the very least trapped them within their institutional control. These Nacralium Sci were raised by the company, and there have been admissions that the company had forced them into the Laruian Dimension to become tethered at dangerously young ages, some children losing their lives in the process. The school really was a way to prepare the children for a treacherous early tethering as a way to maximize their power as adults, and then mentor them on using their abilities, all for the purpose of raising them to become an all-powerful private militia. The Nacralium Co. has become a manufacturing firm for Tethered, with arguably one of the most dangerous fighting forces in the world. With it's sights now on the incoming Generation Neon projected to the born next year, it's frightening to think what immoral extremes Nacralium will go to in order to pull as many Neon infants into their companies influence as possible.
