font face="Courier New">Yes, Virginia, we’re aliens. And no, we do not have our green cards. We also do not have advanced technology for sale, though we do make a bit of money selling ideas that you are already working on (where do you think the Japanese got the idea for microcircuitry?). We do not believe in killing, so we won’t help you design weapons, either. Deal with it.

 You've gotten here from our main site (unless, of course, you're just totally lost in cyberspace), so you know a bit about velyr.  You can learn about our corporation on this site, then hop over to learn about velyr myth and how it's influenced human legend.

If you're not interested in company politics, skip to the bottom of the page and click on a link.

Darksyde was formed in the late 1800’s by Dabir Al’alim ibn Shunnar Ra’id Khalid abu Ali Riyad in Afif, Saudi Arabia. It began as an underground collection of the greatest minds of that time, many of whom never revealed their affiliation to the organization.

At around the time of the World Wars, Darksyde had become a recognized entity, and several of the world powers sought her assistance in the technology of war. Darksyde became a place of political refuge for scientists persecuted in their own countries, and has continued to refuse to provide weapons of war to humankind.

At present, Darksyde is a global corporation, with branches in most of the major cities of the world. The president, Alex Michaels, is the oldest Velyr on planet, and has successfully changed identities every thirty or forty years since founding the organization in Afif.

Our hidden goal is to locate and unite all Velyr on the planet Earth. At this point, nearly 500 have been found, 122 are known dead, and over 1000 have yet to be accounted for. The search continues.

**Darksyde Industries is a think-tank whose purpose is to
    improve the quality of life on the planet Earth. Our goal is
    to ensure that human society operates at a peak, without
    detracting from the lives of other beings.**
 

Darksyde is an equal opportunity employer. You will find people from every nation, race, and religious background working alongside each other. Our only qualification is intelligence.

Darksyde is working on several major projects at this time. Most of them are classified. ADAM1 is an advanced (Cray-based) computer system heading toward sentience (confidence is a Velyr strongpoint). We’ve been adding components since the late 70’s, and everyone on the ADAM project feels that it is only a matter of time before we achieve our goal.

 THINK OF US AS ELVES ... GONE BAD

Currently, Darksyde has over 100 centers worldwide, with nearly 1,000 branch offices serving those centers. We employ nearly 2 million humans, and almost half of them are actually among the brains behind the think-tank.

Areas of planned expanion include the former USSR, Canada, and Alaska (Velyr do not tolerate cold areas well — these sites will be 100% human staffing)
 

Should you decide to accept employment with Darksyde, you will be assigned to one of our branches in the world area where your languages will be of the most benefit. All employees are multi-lingual, so you should be able to choose the area in which you are interested.
