TEC

Astrum Avital Anfas (born ELE | 0613), known as TEC, is the 3rd and current Recommunic of S5. Since ELE | 0980, his focus as Recommunic is solving the time-sensitive Immunis Crisis. He is the second richest human in the galaxy, with a net worth of 140 Trillion RCD as estimated by Field.

1 Early Life

Anfas was born in Prosma and raised in what is now North-Tattarine before its implosion in ELE| 0623. He officially enlisted in the Prosma military in ELE | 629 as a Cephalon soldier. Anfas was a victim of the Imp Storage Attacks by former S5 terrorist group Right to Explore (RTE), and the storage of his body and brain were lost, including his DNA. Due to mission complications in Anfas' brigade, Anfas' Cephtec had entered the Stage 3 classification, and bridger retrieval proved increasingly difficult. However, due to lax brain privacy laws between Prosma and The Consolidation, Anfas was previously flagged as a potential candidate for the Consolidations Addon Program; making him of high priority for The Consolidation to recover. Over the course of 6 years, with advocacy of THEROS and funding from Jair V. Antipater, Anfas' brain was translated back to organic form; the only case of a successful cephalon-to-organic translation, and closest analog for a successful annul-to-human translation.

RUBEDO PLANET FOUND

ELE 641 The search for a rubedo “goldmine” has been realized finally with TEC revisiting old planetary system. Reter-b has been confirmed to house over 4.5 tonnes of Rubedo reserves in a selected analysis spot. The planet is estimated to house 16.3 trillion. While not enough to support a population of 67.6 billion, TEC promises this planet does not mark the end to his re-exploration.

5.6 Female shell

While other sightings of the female TEC occurred in the past, the first official public appearance of the female shell of TEC was during Recon press interview discussing company policy that lead to the toxic leachate affecting individuals outside of the city of S5. Reporters remained professional and refrained from commenting on the shell for most of the questioning, but towards the end, reporter Gilbert Luuk from Future questioned the female appearance, to which TEC responded now is not the appropriate time. To this date it's unknown his exact thoughts upon the matter.

Did He Have Boobs

After Recon shell marketing manager Angiola Ghamma’s birthday party, rumours spread–and speculation is that it’s likely due to a comedown of a myriad of drugs–as attendees attempt to recall the party. A common theme between guests is that Tec inexplicably grew breasts. “I forgot he kind of doesn’t look like that” music producer Astrum Terho Roan said in an interview. Other attendees state he "looked normal". The head shell-designer of Recon refused to comment on the validity of the TEC with new attributes. Was the breasted TEC a drug-induced hallucination, or is TEC truly going through a phase?

Newly Ordained Recommunic TEC Assassinated

TEC joins the assassinated-club alongside the majority of high-profile public figures. The newly ordained Recommunic endured a gunshot to the head during celebration of the closure of the last operational bender on Hovuna.

Shockingly, Tec remained standing. For eight minutes and 45 seconds, the target of the assassination not only endured but actively engaged the shooter in a heated exchange before finally succumbing to injury.

Before collapsing, Tec managed to speak—though some might say rant—to the surrounding crowd:

"...all life if given the chance will grow and destroy everything useful to itself and suffocate itself in the process but we're smart enough to do it without killing ourselves so we're the bad guy.”

When pressed about the beliefs of the assassin, Tec stated:

“[...he] thinks because we’re so smart we should give the little four-legged mutated freaks a ride on our shoulder, because it’s unfair to them. [...] 99.9% of all life that has ever existed died long before the bombs ever dropped on Earth—long before WE existed. Does anyone actually give a shit? I mean I probably only give a shit because some of them tasted good.”

The assassin is a male organic in his twenties, wearing a green baseball cap. He has yet to be identified and is awaiting processing.

Farewell, H-Bender

Benders are a new-world megastructure, a large, collapsible "bendable" freight elevator made specifically to aid large cargo ships carrying exceedingly heavy cargo in liftoff. Benders, when extended, can be seen from the naked eye in the uppermost parts of a planet's atmosphere. The Closure of Pendure Proposal (COPP) was enacted as the nations of Hovuna unanimously agreed to no longer export the resources of Hovuna in mass. A ceremony celebrating the act is held at the last operational Bender on Hovuna, as it closes its functions, symbolizing the final stage of planet stripping.

FEMTEC Update

Tec has stated numerous times before that if his DNA hadn't been destroyed in the Implosion wars he'd have more kids than Antipater by now. At the time, especially with the still-young rumours of the existence of the female shell, it was believed this was a hint towards possible surrogacy aided by his sister, Astrum Isa Anfas. However, it’s been 100 years since the reveal of TEC's female shell and no child is to be seen. So it is safe to assume he is just a freak. Still, he stuns at the Elixir Gala.

Sapien Antipater and Astrum TEC Relationship Rumours

Inside sources report the father-son relationship between Jair V. Antipater and Recommunic TEC have turned sexual since the reveal of TEC's female shell. TEC, upon being questioned about the rumours, made an incredulous expression before stating "I wish" humorously.

BUSINESS NIGHTMARE: HOW ONE MAN’S FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE TEC COST HIM HIS JOB (AND HIS DIGNITY)

In a revelation from the upcoming documentary Double Hit, Sachin Grady—formerly a Recon PR officer—recounted how he got caught in TEC’s infamous web of identity games.

Now, this was before the infamous press meeting where TEC officially revealed his shell. According to Grady, the whole fiasco started when he was summoned for a strategy meeting with TEC’s so-called "sister", a woman with an eerily strong resemblance to the infamous figure–and not because they’re siblings– but truly as if your brother grew longer hair and claimed to be your sister. "I was nervous," he confessed. "She had a reputation, being from Prosma and all, mean and ugly–not entirely integrated. But when I met her there was none of that, she was funny."

Fast forward a month, and Grady found himself in luxury aircraft transit with chief operating officers, key members of Recon, and of course, TEC, who was already in a mood—fuming over Antipater’s insistence on traditional air travel. Desperate for a topic change, Grady casually asked about his sister, who, in his mind, should have been on the trip. Mind you, she sat a metre away, hearing the entire conversation.

“So, where is your sister?—” he began, and second-hand embarrassment practically radiated through the screen as he described everyone going quiet. TEC, let him dig his own grave. Describe her, he said.

One is to respond when commanded by the smartest man alive. Everyone in the fuselage hearing Grady praise his sister for wonderful but oh-so-clearly inaccurate characteristics about how “fun” she is.

The actual sister–Isa– was described to "not even look shocked", cluing in immediately that whatever was going on, was TEC’s doing, Because 99% of the time: it is. And this is correct in this story, because surprise! The woman Grady had met before? That wasn’t TEC’s sister at all. It was TEC himself, in his female shell.

If Grady had even an ounce of self-preservation, he would have stopped talking. But no. He had to keep going, digging himself deeper.

Here is when Grady realizes TEC’s actual sister–Isa–does actually live up to the stereotypes of a woman of Prosma. Later on, during the flight, Isa cornered him alone. Grady described the moment as “suffocating, like I was dangled by the leg and being inspected” as Isa questioned him. Of course, he spilled his guts: he failed on all accounts to confirm the identity of the person he was talking business to.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse—guess who overheard the whole disaster? Antipater. Let’s just say—his employment status didn’t survive the flight.

Extinction on Immunis Confirmed as
Self-Replicating Technology Crisis Escalates

The human population on Immunis has officially been declared extinct, as the planet succumbs to an escalating crisis driven by uncontrolled self-replicating technology. Observers report that the replicators have begun expanding outward, visibly constructing upon themselves in a manner that appears to be dragging the artificial planet toward our home planet Hovuna.

In response to the crisis, TEC has developed a last-resort failsafe: a device designed to detonate in reverse, compressing all matter within its blast radius into a singular, ultra-dense point. The experimental weapon, known as the Kugelblitz bomb, is set to be celebrated with a public parade on the uppermost level of the city of S5, Sanct. The event will coincide with a demonstration of the bomb, which will be visible to the naked eye.

History

The crisis traces its roots to the political and territorial conflicts surrounding planetary colonization. To circumvent strict colonization parameters imposed by the Consolidation, S5 independently constructed its own planet. However, a subsequent summit of Recommunics representing the 22 nations resulted in a majority decision against recognizing S5’s claim to the manmade world.

This dispute contributed significantly to the tensions that led to the Implosion Wars, driven by S5’s ambitions for territorial expansion and resistance from the broader Consolidated nations. Following the war, the recently activated Trial Hovuna Emanate Reacting Operating System (THEROS) of the Consolidation unexpectedly granted S5 sovereignty over the planet—on the condition that THEROS itself would serve as an active arbiter. Thus, the planet, named Immunis after S5’s renowned Immunite telescope, was officially recognized.

As the self-replicator crisis continues to unfold, galactic-wide attention remains fixed on the fate of Immunis, and Hovuna—and whether the Kugelblitz bomb is even a failsafe at all.
