Nestor Corporation entered a phase of secret preparation, represented by an expansion of production capacity.
More Synthetic Humans were being manufactured, and now Nestor Corporation already had over 3,500 Series B "Sharp Pawn" Synthetics and 700 Series C battlefield support Synthetics.
Supporting this formidable production capacity was a secret warehouse, code-named "Black Gate Base," where the logistics department extracted minerals. It was set up on a remote mountain and connected to Nestor Industrial Park by a newly constructed large highway.
"Black Gate" was comprised of a massive freight station, storerooms, and bottomless warehouses. There were no accompanying mines, yet it continuously produced ore, as if conjuring valuable minerals from nothingness.
