  • When I think of a cyborg, I think of a human augmented with some robotic components. When General Atomics International thinks of a cyborg, they think of a robot augmented with a single human component.
    Today, we dive into the lore surrounding what I believe to be one of the most messed up pre-War projects in the Fallout universe: The Robobrain Project. A Frankenstein-esque mad science experiment that, despite never reaching completion, would have a lasting impact on the wasteland.

    This story brings me back to idea that pre-war corporations in America became so evil and embraced sin so much, that the Great War was a some find of biblical cleansing.

    Fun fact: Some of the brains used for the robobrain project can from the little Yangtze concentration camp where ordinary Chinese Americans where taken from their homes and went through some of the worst experiences that some could even surpassed the abusive mistreatment the Jews suffered from at the hands of the nazis. Also the chinese Americans in the camp can’t leave as they have bomb collars the would detonate if they leave the camp’s gate and the will die, so they were forced to live in the camp for over 200 years after the war, this was perhaps one of the most evil crimes the American government and to an extension the enclave throughout the fallout series.

      The positive is that this is a way to immortality. Put the brain in a genetically modified or un modified clone body of your choice or straight up a robotic body and then find a way to repair the damages to the brain from aging and you have immortality.

      About any country would do something like this if possible. Countries like America merely have the means others don't.
      The people willing to do what it takes to acquire power are simultaneously those of us that have the least amount of morals or concern for their fellow man.
