What you'll find here are specific keywords (from Episode I) that relate in [some way], to Febronia.Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility
A medical facility on old miltia, where Shions mother was treated.
The type of illness or condition this facility specializes in is unknown.
DME Addiction
An addiction, which results from the consumption of Realian body tissue.
The blood vessels carry the ingested tissue (mainly from the central nervous
system) to the brain, which results in neural structural changes. The physical
and mental status are then altered, but occasionally this results in death
when an allergic reaction occurs.
Once the brain as undergone an alteration the addict must continue to consume
new realian flesh to avoid withdrawal symptoms, thus necessitating a drug
dependent intervention.
There is as of yet no complete cure since the consumed body tissue grows
and mutates along with the host's neural networks.
In some corners of the galaxy beyond the reaches of the Federations control,
there is an active black market for Realian tissue, as a new form of
recreational narcotics.
The external symptoms of this addiction including hardening and cornificication
of the skin.
Encephalon
The word for "brain" in the Greek Language.
The in-game reference is to the simulated environment built inside KOS-MOS's
main network.
Miltia
The planet where the war that came to be known as the Miltian Conflict, took
place.
Miltia is also Shion's birthplace.
Old Miltia
Otherwise known as Miltia.
An area in the galaxy closed off since the Miltian Conflict 14 years ago.
Realian
An artificial human.
A wonder of molecular bioengineering, its biological composition comes in various forms based on need, from carbon based duplicates of real humans to those based on silicon or liquid metal. many of the Realians onboard the Woglinde were made by Vector, and they are hybrid models with a carbon/silicon base.
Since the Miltian Conflict, the alteration of a Realian's emotions is no longer allowed. The only exceptions are for Realians in the military or other dangerous occupations, such as terraforming.
Their basic rights equal those of humans and are recognized by law. However due to the fact that their minds are initialized with a slight bias, all realians tend to display similar personality traits. This bias is applied not only for the purpose of preventing criminal behavior by realians, but also in consideration of humans who may feel threatened by their "superiority"(albeit only in certain specialized skills).
Several companies manufacture realians, but Vector makes the basic program (in other words the central nervous system) of all Realians.
The program is essentially a black box, and any modification beyond regular maintenance and adjustments can only be performed by Vector.
U-DO
The entity depicted as a massive shockwave origininating from Old Miltia, in the futuristic vision shown to Shion by Nephilim.
Judging from the words of Gaignun, Helmer, and Wilhelm, it is clearly related to the incident which occurred 14 years ago.
Nephilim claims that the wave is a living consciousness, but the truth is yet to be revealed.
