+====== EXOHUMAN TECHNOLOGY OF THE BETA AGE ======
 ===== Overview =====
 The [[beta_age|Beta Age]] marks a turbulent chapter in [[the_humans|exohuman]] history.
-Before the crash, Exohumans commanded mature nanotechnology, AGI-governed automation, and near-limitless fusion power. The impact on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] on [[day_zero|Day Zero]] in 2624 shattered that foundation:
+Before the crash, Exohumans commanded mature nanotechnology, AGI-governed automation, and near-limitless fusion power. The impact on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] on [[day_zero|Day Zero]] in 2624 shattered that foundation. The result is a hybrid era where golden-age relics coexist with survival-driven improvisation, and where once-seamless networks are replaced by manually maintained local systems.
-  * Orbital nanoforges were lost or buried,
-  * Quantum Fusion Battery (QFB) stocks became finite,
-  * GAIA’s planet-wide cloud collapsed into isolated regional nodes.

 ===== Key Technologies =====
 ==== GAIA (AGI Core Intelligence) ====
-Originally developed as the central intelligence aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], [[gaia_system|GAIA]] is an artificial general intelligence designed for long-term planning, system regulation, and human collaboration. After the crash, GAIA was salvaged and is now hosted in a secure on-premise facility beneath the [[settler_s_council_building|Settler’s Council Building]] in [[new_kourou|New Kourou]].
+Originally the ship-wide brain of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], [[gaia|GAIA]] was dug out of the wreck and entombed beneath the [[settler_s_council_building|Settler’s Council Building]] in New Kourou.
+That master node — nick-named "The Kernel" — acts as a “motherboard” for a ring of [[local_gaia_hub|Local GAIA Hubs]] chiselled into Local [[community_center|Community Centers]] between 2626-2627.
+  * **One-way updates.** Lacking bandwidth for live synchronisation, The Kernel sends downward short-wave bursts (roughly every 10-14 days) containing firmware patches, medical tables, and encryption keys.
+  * **Shellac ingestion.**  Each settlement engraves the burst onto a [[shellac_records|Shellac Disk]], verifies the checksum tone, then flashes its hub before dawn.
+  * **No cloud, no uplink.**  Hubs do not relay daily data back; analytics stay local unless carried by courier.  Power rationing. Every hub sleeps four hours per night to spare its dedicated Quantum Fusion Battery, waking only for critical alerts.
-> '''Note''': With orbital modules and quantum uplinks lost, GAIA now operates only in regional silos; no distributed cloud remains.
+> **Outcome:** GAIA still guides agriculture, health, and logistics — just in isolated “dialects.”  What the Kernel knows today, Hope or Firetown might learn a fortnight later.
 ==== Quantum Fusion Batteries (QFBs) ====
-[[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Batteries]] powered nearly every core system aboard the Last Frontier and became critical to post-crash survival. Finite supply and strict recalibration protocols turned QFBs into the most contested resource of the Beta Age, fuelling regional power imbalances and contributing to the [[great_war|Great War]].Each settlement established a decentralised charging infrastructure:

 ==== Service Bots ====
-[[service_bots|Service Bots]], equipped with GAIA-AUX cognitive modules, once ensured human comfort aboard ship. Post-crash, surviving units were repaired, repurposed, or hacked. Founded in 2625, the **NKRS** restores and leases these bots via a subscription model, retaining ownership—and the QFBs that power them—while excluding military-grade [[guarding_bots|Guarding Bots]] and [[medical_bots|Medical Bots]].
