Where Brilliance Bridges Science and the Arcane

The Science Research Center (SRC) stands as humanity's premier scientific collective—a semi-autonomous research society operating from a beautiful park complex in Ang City's Golden Ghetto, where rigorous experimentation meets ancient bloodline traditions. Founded after the Knowledge Fragmentation Crisis by Dr. Rene Paladock (creator of DAINN AI), the SRC has evolved from twelve visionary researchers into a global network of specialized facilities pursuing breakthrough discoveries across quantum information systems, consciousness architecture, and planetary-scale environmental solutions.

Operating on a distinctive five-tier hierarchy based on scientific achievement rather than credentials, the SRC's most unique feature is its "scientific families"—lineage-based knowledge transmission systems where methodological traditions and specialized techniques pass down through generations of mentorship. From ancient High Lineages wielding fundamental research mastery to emerging families built around breakthrough discoveries, these bloodlines shape both research direction and internal politics.

Through their Enhanced Empirical Protocol and the comprehensive Integrated Research Database, SRC scientists work within Controlled Knowledge Environments to push the boundaries of human understanding while developing prototypes across all fields—later transferred to the Company Conclave for manufacturing.

Yet, beneath their unified mission lie tensions between tradition and innovation, with ongoing debates over lineage privilege versus merit, and the delicate balance between knowledge preservation and dangerous discovery. As reality itself grows unstable and DAINN monitors cosmic threats, the SRC races to unlock the scientific solutions that may determine humanity's survival in the Newdawn Universe.
