MOTHER: Difference between revisions

'''MOTHER''' was the secret police/intelligence community that quietly protects The [[WIDEVERSE]] from threats inside and out. The group evolved from its inception as '''VIGIL''' during the [[Friend Zone]] era, where it vetted potential recruits to the guild, and '''IRON CURTAIN''', which protected [[COMMUNISM]] and COMMIE CREW. With the formation of BMW, the group was once again reformed under the name '''GESTAPO''' all through Taylors reign until his abdication in March 2019. A 4th incarnation was established in December of 2019 under the current name, but was dissolved in December of 2022.

A successor with the [[MOTHER|same name]] was founded in 2023.

The concept of a COMMUNISM secret police dates back to the early days of COMMUNISM in 2007, when members would go undercover into rival guilds to gather intelligence and to generally stir the shit. One of the earliest and most notable members of this proto-GESTAPO was Vandrea, who infiltrated [[DISEASE]] multiple times via turncoat officers, and forced multitudes of members to gquit.  

GESTAPO informally began when Taylor and some previous VIGIL/IRON CURTAIN friends began looking into Rust enemies, and was further helped by Cal Worthington and his [[WANTED signs]]. GESTAPOS official formation was May 25th 2016, with the BMW Discord, after GESTAPO agents alerted Taylor and Jack about Hef trying to infiltrate [[Woofingtons Discord]].

The group quietly watched for several months, doing its best to keep the various subgroups that comprised BMW in check and inline. During the last months of 2016, GESTAPO was successful in finding several conspiracies to overthrow Taylor, most notably [[Westworld]]. The [[BEEFY Rebellion]] provided a good distraction to destroy the coups momentum.

GESTAPO was fully prepared to come back in a large way for [[Conan Exiles]], but the games failure ended that prospect.

Many of GESTAPOS activities are still considered "classified" and as such are not listed here.

The Council of MOTHER that oversees all operations and agents and initiates judgement in situations where needed. The seated members of FATHER mostly included veteran agents from VIGIL and IRON CURTAIN. FATHER maintains the most strict security of all branches of MOTHER, having no electronic communication, meeting only face to face. As such, none of the members of FATHER are known, and their only communication is via the Director of MOTHER.

The HUMINT apparatus of MOTHER was known as SISTER and employed a network of moles and informants who operated on private channels and personal contact to relay information back to MOTHER. SISTER agents were active in hundreds of Discords, game guilds, and miscellaneous groups.

* '''BLACK BOOK''': BLACK BOOK was a secure repository of dossiers on MOTHER targets gathered from all other branches. Access was limited strictly to the Director of MOTHER.

* '''BLACK VAULT''': As of May 2020, THE BLACK VAULT was taken under MOTHER control from [[The Swift Archives]] to serve as a cold storage for mostly declassified intelligence from former ops and even former iterations of the agency. Access remained limited however at the discretion of the Director of SISTER.

* December 2016: Westworld Discord is found, revealing the beginning of The Wonkas treachery
