Security & intelligence authority

Planetary Security Organization

P.S.O.

“Structure keeps us safe. Discipline keeps us alive.”

Overview

Metamorphosis gave the Umarians extraordinary abilities — and took their memory of where they came from. The P.S.O. was created to preserve Ancestral history while keeping it hidden from the general population, and it has held that secret for over 500 generations.

Mission statement

It is our duty to protect our planet from outside threats by forbidding external space exploration and preserving the secrecy of our Ancestral history and planetary location.

Institutional blue, surveillance aesthetics, order as an argument.

Doctrine & history

How it came to be this way

  1. 01

    Controlled curriculum

    The P.S.O. actively monitors schools and educators to prevent discussion of Ancestral origins. The curriculum is restricted to teaching only that The Ancestors founded Umarian civilization and were transformed through Meta-energy.

  2. 02

    Banned records

    Books, records and quotations related to Ancestral history are banned unless approved by the P.S.O.

  3. 03

    Network surveillance

    Agents monitor the Online Umarian Network (O.U.N.) for unauthorised discussion or investigation into Ancestral history. Specialized nanotechnology can attach to any electronic device and flag keywords deemed a potential threat to Umara.

  4. 04

    No exit

    Any promotion of space exploration, or attempts to leave Umarian space, carries severe consequences.
