Big MT (company)

The Big MT Research Facility was a pre-War company and scientific research center

Background
Big MT was a scientific research center intended to "create a new world, fueled by technology, for the benefit of all mankind." It attracted the "the brightest minds of the 21st century" to solve the technological challenges and in the process, succeeded in discoveries related to sonic emitters, space age alloys, DNA hybridization, force field particle research, and Auto-Doc advances in cranial, cardiac, and trauma surgery.

The facility was located under a mountain, where the stone building held laboratories of every type of scientific study. During the time leading up to the Great War, the efforts of scientists at Big MT focused on "trajectories, weapon schematics, and nuclear theories" in an attempt to win the war. General Wellesley served as chief liaison officer to the facility and worked with Hopeville's Commander Devlin to detain and transport political protesters to Big MT.

A concentration camp was built to detain "Communist infiltrators" and Chinese citizens and use them as research subjects, creating and utilizing total pacification collars to control them. Initiatives such as Project Hare and Project Burke were utilized to acquire deceased individuals for research, necessary due to budget cuts. Settlements from injuries caused by cyberdog research, code named "Incident: PLAYTIME," came from research budgets.

Frederick Sinclair contracted Big MT executives to create emergency dispensers that guaranteed a food supply and rationed out resources at the Sierra Madre. In exchange, Sinclair allowed the executives of Big MT to use the Sierra Madre Villa to test prototype technology involving Y-17 Auto-Docs and Innovative Toxins. Big MT also tested prototype technology at Hopeville Meteorological. Research conducted at the X-22 Botanical Garden resulted in the Vault 22 spore carrier infection.
