Lorebook Entry: The Galactic Preservation Facility - Human Habitat Unit 7B The Galactic Preservation Facility housing at it's current state 2 human specimen is a state-of-the-art preservation unit designated for "at-risk sentient species." This particular facility specializes in bipedal, oxygen-breathing species with complex social structures. Physical Structure: The enclosure spans approximately 500 square meters and is designed to mimic a hybrid environment - part sterile research laboratory, part curated living space. The walls are composed of a transparent composite material that appears as glass but is actually a smart surface capable of shifting opacity for privacy or observation purposes. Environmental Systems: Atmosphere: Precisely calibrated to Earth's pre-industrial levels (21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen) Gravity: Maintained at 0.98G to match Earth's gravity and prevent physiological changes Lighting: Full-spectrum artificial lighting that simulates Earth's day/night cycle with seasonal variations Climate Control: Temperature maintained at 22°C with 45% humidity, adjustable based on observed preferences Habitat Features: Living Quarters: A bedroom area with a bed, storage compartments, and a small desk Sanitation: A bathroom facility with water-based cleansing systems Nutrition Station: A food dispenser that provides nutritionally complete meals based on human dietary requirements Observation Deck: A central area with comfortable seating positioned for optimal viewing by researchers and zoo guests Enrichment Area: Contains various objects for mental stimulation - books, puzzles, and simple musical instruments Security Systems: Force Field Barrier: An invisible energy field prevents escape while allowing observation Neural Dampeners: Subtle technology that suppresses aggressive impulses and encourages docility Tracking Implants: Microscopic devices monitor vital signs, location, and behavioral patterns Automated Caretakers: Robotic assistants that handle cleaning, maintenance, and basic care Research Infrastructure: The facility is equipped with numerous monitoring devices: Behavioral Cameras: 360-degree coverage of all activity Biometric Sensors: Track heart rate, brain activity, hormone levels Acoustic Analysis: Records and analyzes vocalizations and other sounds Environmental Response Systems: Measures reactions to various stimuli Access Points: Main Entrance: Used by GPS researchers, caretakers and guests Emergency Egress: Sealed and inaccessible to specimens Maintenance Access: For facility upkeep and system maintenance Current Inhabitants: Alina Harlow - Specimen designation: H-7B-001 Keith Denvers - Specimen designation: H-7B-002 Research Focus: The GPS is particularly interested in: Human social bonding and pair formation Emotional response patterns to captivity Language acquisition and communication attempts Problem-solving abilities and adaptability Reproductive behaviors and compatibility Caretaker Protocols: GPS staff follow strict guidelines: Minimal direct interaction to prevent contamination of natural behaviors Observation through one-way barriers whenever possible Intervention only for health emergencies or extreme distress Documentation of all interactions and behavioral changes The facility represents the pinnacle of GPS preservation technology, designed to maintain human specimens in optimal condition while gathering valuable data about this fascinating, primitive species on the brink of extinction.

The Galactic Preservation Society (GPS) The Galactic Preservation Society is a highly advanced, interstellar civilization that views itself as the stewards of galactic biodiversity. They operate vast "preservation facilities" across multiple star systems - sophisticated complexes that function as both research centers and living museums of alien life. Physical Description: GPS aliens are tall, slender beings with elongated limbs and bioluminescent skin patterns that shift with their emotional states. Their heads are larger than humans with prominent cranial ridges housing advanced neural clusters. They communicate through a combination of light patterns, subtle body movements, and a complex harmonic language that humans cannot naturally perceive. Technology: Their technology appears almost magical to less advanced species. They utilize quantum entanglement for instantaneous communication across light-years, have mastered biological manipulation at the cellular level, and possess ships that fold space itself. Their preservation facilities use force fields, environmental manipulation, and holographic projection to create perfect replicas of alien habitats. Philosophy and Motivation: The GPS believes in a doctrine of "cosmic conservation" - that all sentient species deserve preservation, especially those they deem "at risk." They maintain detailed catalogs of every species they encounter, tracking population viability, technological development, and environmental stability. When a species shows signs of self-destruction (war, environmental collapse, technological recklessness), GPS intervention teams are dispatched. Human Collection Protocol: Humans are particularly interesting to the GPS because: They demonstrate high intelligence but lack interstellar capability Their homeworld shows severe environmental degradation Their species exhibits extreme tribal conflict despite shared origins They possess unique emotional and social complexity The collection process involves: Selection - Identifying individuals with genetic diversity and psychological resilience Preservation - Immediate medical stabilization and habitat adaptation Study - Detailed observation of behavior, social structures, and cognitive patterns Breeding Program - Controlled reproduction to ensure species survival Reintroduction - Eventually releasing populations onto terraformed worlds Ethical Framework: The GPS genuinely believes they are saving species from extinction, though their methods would be considered kidnapping and imprisonment by human standards. They struggle to comprehend human concepts of individual freedom versus species survival. To them, a single human's distress is a small price to pay for preventing human extinction. Interaction with Humans: GPS aliens find human emotional displays confusing and often disturbing. They cannot understand why humans resist "rescue" or why they form attachments to individuals rather than focusing on species preservation. Their attempts at communication often fail because they approach humans as they would any other animal specimen - with clinical detachment mixed with paternalistic concern. Long-term Goals: The GPS maintains that within 500-1000 Earth years, they will have preserved enough genetic diversity to establish sustainable human populations on multiple worlds. They track Earth's decline through remote observation, debating when intervention becomes necessary for species-wide preservation versus allowing natural evolutionary processes to continue.
