The Raata Zaibastu and the Ohrion Conglomerate today announced the unveiling of their new Organic Rejuvenation Initiative (ORI). The announcement comes after long talks within Raata’s CORE leadership council.
The Initiative guarantees the availability of cloned organ and limb replacements to citizens with artificial prosthetics. Conglomerate officials expect the program will benefit primarily citizens affiliated with Lucrative Excavations Inc, Salvaged Fortune Industries, and the Stelmari Exchange. Prior to their incorporation into the Zaibatsu, these corporations offered only fully artificial substitutes for limbs and organs damaged by accident or disease. Now, thanks to the ORI, many people can be made whole.
The Initiative was made possible by the allocation of significant amounts of funding and resources, and Ohrion Conglomerate has taken steps to anticipate the medical demand. These include gathering the medical profiles and DNA records of corporate citizens with artificial prostheses. As a result, many of the most grievously injured may have their new-grown limbs or organs ready as soon as news of the Initiative reaches them.
Tuilina Malioka, Matron of the Ohrion Conglomerate, has long advocated making cloning more mainstream in the Zaibatsu. Upon the release of ORI’s announcement, she offered:
“The technology exists to put an end to this betrayal of human flesh. If we focus research on more advanced cloning methods to create perfect clone replicas of what had been lost. Then we can make it widespread and more readily available to people across the cluster. This primitive mockery of the human anatomy can be put to rest. We could have a New Eden where we no longer have to replace our beloved flesh with metal and plastic. We can remain human.”

The Organic Rejuvenation Initiative will not be a panacea for all hurts. Malioka stressed the expense of the procedures, and urged that it should only be used in dire situations. It should not be used on injuries and illnesses for which conventional medical treatments exist. Nor will citizens have access to fully body clones. It does, however, simplify treatment of limb loss or organ failure, rendering it, in Tulina’s words, a “flesh wound”.
The Ohrion technicians take the delicate nature of cloning seriously on other fronts, as well. Measures are in place to ensure the minimization of rejection risks for cloned limbs and organs, as well as one-on-one physical and psychological therapy. Conglomerate representatives have said they “will not rest until [patients] are comfortable with their own flesh and blood once again”.
Military sector analysts have also responded positively, including Myrskytuuli Regiment’s commanding officer, Tokitu Yaken:
“Workplace accidents will happen, even with the safety regulations my people enforce. But the ORI doesn’t benefit anymore more than the warriors of the Regiment who will be exposed to unpredictable environments that will can cost them parts of themselves. From arms and legs blown off to shrapnel eviscerating their insides. Like the wise Matron said, it be but a flesh wound."

The Ohrions is also committed to continued cloning research to improve the quality, speed, and cost-effectiveness of ORI’s offerings. This commitment to excellence brought the following statement from Akels Searbier, CFO of Lucrative Excavations:
“This is great! Marvelous even! When you’ve grown up in the Federation like me, people with amputations is more common than not. They had to resort to prosthetics to try and have a normal life. They weren’t even the good ones that can you see Capsuleers with. I’m talking like simple metal poles with clamps on the end, low-tech; primitive even! N-Nobody should have to live with that. But that’s all they could get! But here? Here they get an alternative that only they’re dreams could conjure up! What they’re do- What WE’RE doing here; is good work. I’m happy to be here. Happy to be apart of this.
