Originium in Talos-II

In Talos-II, Originium remains the primary source of energy and a key material for industrial production and the Arts.

The hostile environments of Talos-II motivated scientists to achieve numerous theoretical breakthroughs. The last 150 years witnessed the release of new power generation and industrial production solutions of ever increasing efficiency. However, Originium remains the basis for all these advancements. The frontiersmates of the new world know very well that the most basic forms of industrial production could not be achieved without Originium boilers or Originium Arts.

The frontiersmates also chose to learn from the mistakes of the past and look for new solutions. The development of the Controlled Originium Distribution (CORD) technology gave a degree of control over the growth of Originium clusters and made it possible to "cultivate" them in specific areas. CORD greatly reduced the likelihood of Catastrophes in Talos-II. Additionally, Long-term Oripathy Treatment (LORIT) provided by Rhodes Island has been well-received by the Talosians. Preventive Oripathy Shots (PORIPS) and therapeutic suppressants were also developed. The Infected were no longer stigmatized in Talosian towns and villages now that treatment became readily available. Though the situation looks hopeful, Originium-related issues and challenges continued to affect the new world.
