Museum of Human History

The Museum of Human History is an inconsipcuous-looking establishment in one of the nicer regions of Oakland. It features a a number of exhibits, some stretching back to the dawn of civilization. The institution, however, is actually a front for an operation run by the Technocratic Union.

The Museum is located in Oakland.

Technocracy
The Technocracy uses the rear area of the Museum (restricted to the public) for storage of a number of low-tech devices they consider to be too useful or prominent to dispose of. In essence, it acts as a sort historical storage facility, with devices dating back to the earliest days of the Union, and even before. More interestingly, however, the establishment contains a number of actual human beings, all frozen in statis pods. They would appear to be from varying points in human history, making the title of the establishment "Museum of Human History" something of a play on words. In this way, the Technocracy keeps its operation here hidden in plain sight. Most of the employees in the actual museum, however, appear to be usual security guards, unaware of the true nature of the establishment they protect.

Events
Being an outpost for the Technocratic Union, the Museum of Human History is a locale of some importance.

Emergency Rescue
Shortly after the arrival of Jack Szymansky, a strange girl made her first appearance in the Cue by way of several appliances, explaining through disjointed, largely incoherent babbling accompanied by a great deal of static that while part of her mind managed to escape onto the Net, her body had been taken by the Technocrats and was being held in an unknown location. Jack was able to identify her as someone he knew, and Ives managed to gather enough information to determine that the girl's body would be found in the rear area of the Museum. After what would later be revealed as an insufficient amount of planning, they, along with Draka and Luke, embarked on a rescue operation to free Lindar (Jack's associate). The operation seemed to go well, at first, but things quickly spiralled out of control when the alarm was tripped while forcing Lindar's pod to undergo its defrost sequence. This caused a number of Technocrat Commandos to appear on the scene, followed shortly by a venerable HIT Mark III. They were defated, mostly through the efforts of Draka, and the party escaped in a classy getaway car. The entire incident was well-recorded by the Museum's video surveillance and by several surviving witnesses. It also made the headline News, but it was typically censored by the Union to make it appear more like a typical criminal smash-and-grab.
