Revolution Genetics Inc. is an expanding genetic engineering firm which deals in a multitude of applications involving genetic manipulation and biotechnology. Having its history in political revolution, Revolution takes its name from its origins and the term "re-evolution," or the genetic restructuring of nature. Revolution Genetics is very open about its developments, and shares them with other businesses and countries. It is confident of its superiority in the field. The company carries over 65% of current existing patents on genetic enhancement and biotechnology. Its origin has allowed it to evolve a less bureaucratic work structure, creating a beneficial environment in which to do work and do research and development. Though unorthodox by established standards, it has allowed Revolution Genetics to excel where others have floudered. Helix is its public face: an outlet much like the Chrome cybernetics stores, though dealing in biotech and minor genetic tailoring like skin coloring and pheromone production.
Revolution Genetics Inc. started its production of genetic manipulations in the early twenty-first century. Originally the source of survival modifications to the political refugees in Antarctica, the company went public soon after the Antarctican Collective did. Revolution Genetics Inc. made its appearance in the world market selling its patents on genetic processes and with its initial military contracts. Its genetically altered plants and food products earned Revolution the Zimbabwe/Free South Africa contract to feed the starving Africans. Its advanced level of production has placed them far ahead of any other firm dealing with genetics. Its initial profits have been more than modest and continue to increase. In mid-2020 Revolution Genetics Inc. diversified and opened a smaller firm dubbed Helix. Helix is much like the parent company in that it deals with biological alterations, but while Revolution deals with the larger accounts, Helix is the public's access point to the larger company. Many Helix biotech clinics have opened in major cities. Revolution enters the next year with three major products: a revolutionary new chip design, biological memory storage for computers, and developments for increased food production. Its estimated release for each of these products starts in mid-2021. The latest any of its current contracts come up for renewal/renegotiation is January 1st, 2028.

There are 20 Helix outlets: 7 in North America/Canada, 2 in the Antarctican Collective, 8 in Europe, 1 in Hong Kong/China, and 2 in Japan.
Resources: All of Revolution Genetics Inc.'s regional offices have the facilities to research and develop genetic alterations, biotech, and biological compounds and agents. All regional offices have operating rooms, genetics labs, and a full staff to man them. The major developments are always done, however at the central research facility on Antarctica, which has the most advanced genetics labs in the world. Products are developed at the central facility and then transported to the regional offices where they are processed, manufactured, implanted, and distributed. All regional offices havo one AV-4 assault vehicle. Six corporate jets and five Osprey IIs are split among the offices worldwide. All offices have a large security force with weapons purchased from Arasaka Inc. Also all offices will have a small number of genetically-enhanced combat personnel direct from the central facility on Antarctica.
Revolution plans to purchase an orbital facility within 3 years. Its Data Fortresses are considered Level 3 systems.

Soon after its public appearance on the world market, Revolution's data fortress is broken into by an anonymous netrunner working for an unknown firm. The netrunner has accessed the company's central database before being traced and eliminated. Evidence points at Biotechnica but no retaliation follows.
A second attempt is made on one of its data fortresses, this time at the Night City office. The 'runner is engaged with the fortress's on-line 'runner, who is forced to jack out and sound the alarm. The invading runner plants a virus in the central info nexus. It takes forty man-hours to repair the damage. The invading netrunner can't be traced.
An extraction is attempted against the regional office EVP: Trevor Ulrich in Night City. The extraction is thwarted by freelance solos working for Ulrich. The "extractors" who are killed, are discovered to have worked for Neil & Roman Pharmaceuticals. Revolution covertly retaliates by delivering a biowar agent through a sealed envelope. The contents of the envelope are innocuous sales reports. The source for the biowar agent is the paper-clip holding the notes together. The biowar agent incapacitates fourteen employees, including the regional manager of Neil & Roman.
Revolution discovers an industrial spy at the Tokyo office. Linked to NuSun Genetics, he is returned unharmed to the NuSun Tokyo office empty-handed. A week later he dies of an unknown ailment. Two other NuSun employees die of the same ailment. Due to NuSun safety measures, the deaths are limited to non- executives. No overt retaliation is sought. Revolution is not charged. No investigation is made.
Secret plans for a revolutionary chip design are stolen by an unknown group. This is a major setback for Revolution. The plan goes on, however, until a virus destroys their samples. Revolution makes no public accusations. A month later, Biotechnica's "new" chip design collapses when its samples are ruined by a virus, its chief research scientist on the project "disappears," its files are plundered, and its lab destroyed by a kamikaze AV-4.
Biotechnica is Revolution's chief rival. Revolution's fast growth has made it a target. After the fiasco concerning the war over the new chip design, the two companies are constantly at each other's throats in small, covert operations. Retaliation after retaliation. The cost in property and employees is approaching the millions. Currently they are in a bidding war over research space at AquaDelphi. -- =-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+ There are men too gentle to live among wolves : barry@cgs.c4.gmeds.com -- a poem by James Kavanaugh : Larry Barry =-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-My Opinions are Mine and Mine Alone-+-=-+-=-+-=-+-=-+
