The Sora Institute

The Sora Institute was built as a sanctuary and academy for a group of half-Gallifreyan children, all biologically female, who were discovered within an underwater city and rescued by the Sanctuary Initiative. Discovery

Many years ago, an underwater city was discovered on Earth, coordinates 63° 2’ N, 29° 55’ W. It is said that this city had fallen to ruin and chaos, caused by horrific experimentation and less than sane leadership. Little is known about where it came from, but there are scraps of information that members of the Sanctuary Initiative are still piecing together.

Amongst the chaos and ruin, a group of children was found; young girls, few older than seven or eight. Distorted by yet more sick experiments and twisted by what appeared to be intense conditioning, the Initiative sought to find a cure for the girls’ condition, and thus the Sora Institute was founded. The children were brought to the surface in secret, smuggled away from their hulking protector-figures, and over time it was discovered that treatments of Regeneration energy could save them from their genetic prison. Initial Treatments and Transformation

The Regeneration energy reacted with the substance that had already rewritten the children’s genetic sequences, destroying the parasite that resided within them and acting as a substitute for the chemical they had formed a symbiotic link with.

The first child subjected to these treatments unfortunately did not survive. While the energy was enough to destroy the parasite, the child did not survive beyond that point. In an attempt to avoid this tragic outcome, the Institute opted to continue the treatments beyond this point in future.

The second child survived – more than that, she thrived. T his girl became something more than human; transformed entirely by the treatments. Over time, her body learned to produce Regeneration energy on its own, creating something none who first embarked on this mission had ever expected: a half-Gallifreyan child.

The treatments quickly continued, and now the Sora Institute remains as both shelter and education for these children (more of which are discovered in the underwater city as their investigations continue), seeking to undo the mental conditioning they endured and raise them as a valued and cherished branch of the Sanctuary Initiative. Janus Program Involvement "Reports have shown that several of the children the Sora Institute were observing for extraction have gone missing. Additionally, multiple research files and children from the Institute itself are also missing. We have it on good authority that the Janus Program are responsible for this. Please exercise extreme caution with all future operation and report any suspicious activity to a trusted authority." -A recent emergency announcement from within the Sora Institute.
