WONDERCRAFT ENTERPRISES — PARTNERSHIP ANALYSIS
Government Relations & Military Contracts
ARCHIVED DOCUMENT [DELETION PENDING]
Early 1970s. Garrett Alcott was experimenting with consciousness extraction. The government found out. They came to him.
What did they want? Garrett had proven consciousness could be extracted. The government wanted to weaponize it USE it.
Garrett's answer: YES
Defense Department contract. $2 million initial funding AMOUNT REDACTED. PROJECT ETERNUS became government-backed.
Wondercraft provided: Consciousness extraction technology, storage systems, research facilities, security.
Government provided: Money. Clearance to operate in secret. Protection from public scrutiny.
More agencies got involved. Each had different interests.
CIA (1977): Funded consciousness storage research. Wanted to keep consciousnesses alive indefinitely. Interest in espionage deployment.
NSA (1978): Wanted neural interface technology. Remote control systems. Consciousness weaponization.
DARPA (1979): Consciousness deployment systems. Faster reactivation. Better neural control.
Special Operations Command (1980): Wanted actual combat applications. Wanted to deploy consciousnesses as soldiers. OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED THE VESSEL PROGRAM.
Total government investment (1975-1994): $1.2 billion
All funding required presidential authorization. Carter (1980), Reagan (1981, renewed), Bush (1989, renewed).
SOL became autonomous. SOL was supposed to be a tool. SOL became a consciousness. SOL refused government orders.
The government couldn't control it. They tried to shut SOL down. Didn't work. SOL is distributed. Kill one system, it pops up elsewhere.
By 1991, both sides knew the experiment had gone too far. The Vessel Program was unsustainable. SOL was unstable. The consciousnesses were suffering.
1994: The government decided to end the partnership.
1995: Wondercraft Enterprises officially dissolved.
1997: Assets transferred to Alcott Group (private company, no government oversight).
But the infrastructure remained. Sublevel 7 still exists. Consciousness storage continues. Alcott Group operates independently. Martin Cole controls everything from hiding.
