Series Canon

Raptor Tec. Industries is a cold, scrupulous and faceless weapons company. But a machine is only as good as its gears, and gears as good as their cogs.
This series shows a side of Raptor Tec. Industries that is hardly ever seen.
A side where R. T. I. has a heart.
A heart as cold as the steel they were made of.

Special Thing

What is the idea of this series?

I wanted to write a series of stories with the Group of Interest Raptor Tec. Industries.
The inspiration came from what I had seen at Marshall, Carter & Dark and Anderson Robotics. Since Raptor Tec. Industries is intentionally conceptualised as faceless, I wanted to show my vision of this "nothingness".

How can I contribute to this series?

Even though only I have written for the series so far, I don't want to forbid you to write a story, GoI format or even SCPs for this series. If you have an idea for an article, feel free to contact me via the official INT Discord or Wikidot.
