As Irwin John Finster became a cyborg through the influence of Cochise's AI, he created a cybernetic interface called the Mindlink, to oversee the research and control the labs directly. The base's police also became increasingly wary of any outsiders, sometimes shooting them on sight.ĭarwin changed it's mission slightly - now, it aimed to produce life capable of surviving in the harsh wasteland, useful life. Jekyll, who opened a Body Shop in the city limits.

This led to an escalating rivalry between the two research centers, which went even further as Irwin John Finster attempted to enhance his performance with aid from Base Cochise AI, turning into a cyborg. The covert nature of the research would prevent the research team from gaining a Nobel prize in genetics, which was won by Andrea Mills from Sleeper One. A man with interests in mathematics, baseball, psychology and cybernetics, he led a dedicated team of scientists with the mission of creating life that would adapt to a post-nuclear war. The first (and only) director of Project Darwin was Irwin John Finster. While the research base provided enough living space for the base's personnel, the men simply chose to live in the town. The town served as a housing area for the massive research facility, with all necessities on-site, including a hospital, convenience store, bar, emergency chemical lab etc. The base was designed to be entirely self-sufficient, with a radioactive field prohibiting access to and from the facility and the adjoining town, with only a winding mountain route remaining as a clear connection to the outside world.

Project Darwin (original base name unknown), established before the nuclear war, was a classified genetic and biological research center located in a remote mountainous location in Nevada. 'Negative.Primary directive one states:Preserve human life at all costs.'- Cochise AI
