While Transmission was intended to enhance the strength, speed, and intelligence of prospective colonists using nanomachines, SIVA used nanomachines to break down matter and reconstitute it in order to rapidly construct entire cities. The Transmission project was eventually shuttered after it caused unforeseen side-effects in test subjects, and Clovis Bray focused entirely on SIVA, which was later completed and approved for deployment. So confident was Clovis Bray in SIVA's capabilities that they eschewed adding safety measures, such as a kill switch. The first SIVA replication chamber, designated [[Site 6]], was built within the [[Cosmodrome]] in order to outfit the [[colony ship]]s. | ||
Many years later, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] was reactivated when the [[Iron Lords]], hoping to harness SIVA to bring about a new Golden Age, trespassed into Site 6. Rasputin treated the intruders as hostile and activated its defenses. Unable to communicate with Rasputin, the Iron Lords managed to infiltrate Site 6 and release the plague. In the end, almost all of the Iron Lords and [[Iron Wolves]] sacrificed themselves to stop SIVA and seal it within its complex. Rasputin ceased its onslaught once it deemed Site 6 was re-secured, and began passive observation of the [[Guardian]]s. Lord [[Saladin Forge]], one of the surviving Iron Lords, quarantined the [[Plaguelands]] to prevent SIVA from ever being unleashed again. | Many years later, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] was reactivated when the [[Iron Lords]], hoping to harness SIVA to bring about a new Golden Age, trespassed into Site 6.
