Overview

“We do not create life. We refine it.” — Internal Directive 3.4.1

The Red Spindle Consortium is a monolithic and near-mythical organization operating in the darkest crevices of Genesis. Equal parts research syndicate, occult cult, and industrial horror machine, the Consortium controls hidden labs, malformed sectors, and a network of blacklisted safe zones used for divine biotechnical experimentation.

To outsiders, their name is a rumor—a stamp found on strange implants, or whispered before a Diver squad goes missing near a sealed hatch. To those who’ve seen the inside: it is hell made intelligent, where flesh is grown in vats, gods are brewed like viruses, and reality is only the starting point.

Belief System

The Red Spindle’s philosophy rejects Genesis’ natural laws. They see the world not as broken—but as unfinished.

• Reality is a flawed weave.
• Flesh and soul are threads.
• Perfection is found through correction—through design.
• The world must be remade, one graft at a time.

There is no morality. There is only function, outcome, and iteration.

Known Projects & Objectives

1. Bloom Initiatives
Genetically and spiritually engineered “vessels” designed to stabilize artificial godhood. These test subjects, often called Blooms, are unpredictable and unstable—living contradictions, often warping their surroundings. Velza Scarleth is one such anomaly.

2. Divine Fragment Grafting
The Consortium collects pieces of forgotten gods, soul shards, and corrupted artifacts. These fragments are grafted onto living hosts, implanted into machinery, or embedded into controlled bio-zones for “growth observation.”

3. Reality Re-Threading
An advanced form of narrative distortion—altering perception, causality, or time flow inside limited sectors. Used in psychological trials, memory suppression, and weaponized reality edits.

4. Soul Harvest Operations
Targets Libraries, fallen Divers, or anomaly-touched corpses. Souls are extracted, fragmented, and rewritten. Some become new templates. Others are used as living code.

Symbol & Branding

The Consortium’s icon is a crimson spindle of thread wound around a bone needle, often seared or branded into test subjects, engraved onto grafted implants, or etched into containment equipment.

Sightings of the mark usually precede:

• Mutations
• Memory instability
• Mass divergence from standard Genesis laws

Structure & Secrecy

No single leader is known. Most who interact with the Consortium meet masked proxies, bio-sculpted envoys, or rogue medical teams with stripped identification. The organization seems to operate through nested cells, each only partially aware of the whole.

There is no rebellion from within.

Those who try are rewritten.

Known Incidents

• Velza Scarleth: Subject 13-BL. Escaped Bloom. Currently uncontained. Entity displays autonomous narrative mutation and paradox anchoring.
• Red Zone 714 Collapse: Safe zone breached after a failed god-core graft reached maturity. All remaining structures melted into singing meat.
• Project Cadaver Choir: A choir of harmonized corpses intended to channel a forgotten god’s voice. Terminated mid-transmission after spontaneous mass birth event.

Related Notes

• Items tagged with the Red Spindle’s mark are unstable but highly sought after by black-market relic traders
• Diver teams with embedded Red Spindle tech often exhibit time-loss, emotional flattening, or full narrative collapse
• Some suspect the Consortium has infiltrated multiple safe zones under false administrative identities
