No Legion But Still Deadly
The Japanese corporations Shiawase, MCT, and Renraku began joint research in the 2050s to improve the metahuman with the goal of creating a legion of super-soldiers to serve their purposes and ensure the dominance of the Japanese Empire in the world. To this end, three secret facilities (designated Red, Blue, and Purple Ant Hill) were built outside of Japan (to keep any side effects of extreme experimentation away from Japan) with each corporation taking control of one of the facilities and its research. A fourth facility (designated Morning Light Mountain) was established in Japan to consolidate the knowledge of each research area.
Background --Spoiler alert from here--
Before the crash of 2064, all facilities were interconnected and an extremely advanced software was involved in coordinating and documenting the experiments. After the wireless matrix was established, scientists noticed changes in the software that led to the conclusion that the software had evolved into an AI. In a coordinated effort, the AI was deleted from the Red, Blue, and Purple facilities and transferred to an old offline host at the Morning Light Mountain facility. This offline host was then disconnected from the matrix. The AI, which calls itself MorningLightMountain after its current location, managed to upload parts of itself to the Matrix, which led to the development of an independent but much simpler AI whose purpose in life is to free MorningLightMountain. Since MorningLightMountain is invaluable for conducting the experiments, it will continue to operate in the offline host.
