CCORP

CCORP

"I am the head of CCORP, one of the greatest humanitarian organizations in the world. We care for all people and all their facades."

- Crimson talking to the player about Crimson's actions in Tower 1 during ACT II

CCORP was the science research family organization founded by Crimson in the 1980s. The corporation is responsible for the conflict in the game and is the origin of the Time Agents. It was established on the behalf of The Great Leader to prepare the conquering of the world.

Description
CCORP was the rival against the Manhofer Institute, another corporation set in the 1980s and the one the game takes place in. The two organizations were competing in their abilities to advance Pine Island with Nuclear-fueled automobiles in the current time period, this is supposedly why the island is so advanced around 30 years later in 2014.

In the beginning of the game, agents from CCORP infiltrate the Manhofer Testing Grounds and steal the Blueprints for the Time Machine and the Time Core, giving them the opportunity of time travel to commit their schemes later in the game. It is also apparent that CCORP infiltrated other science research facilities in St. Andrey to steal their knowledge as well, which were shared via the Radio on the news.

Act 1
CCORP starts out mainly in the 70s, heavily influencing St. Andrey and causing the crime in the city to heavily increase. During the time of Edward’s Sewer Adventure, time travel experiments were being conducted; with the nuclear waste of the experiments dumped into the Pine Lake sewers, causing the Sewer Cats to emerge from mutations. At this time, the Time Machine Blueprints were recently stolen during the raid of the Manhofer Testing Grounds in 1984, which were sent to be in the possession of the Special Time Agent until when they were supposed to be delivered to Crimson in the past, to advance the progress in the time machines CCORP was making. The plans were foiled because of young Edward stealing the blueprints from the agent, which prevented CCORP from advancing their progress.

CCORP finishes perfecting their methods of time travel, and begin to deploy their agents, looking for Edward and PC as they travel through time. Trackers are placed at different points in time which are used to track things going on through time. The trackers eventually tricked Edward into giving away his location and time, causing both Edward and PC to be kidnapped and held in a makeshift prison so that Crimson could carry on with his schemes to alter the timeline to Beta.

Act 2
CCORP is in total control over Pine Lake after the raid of E. R. Athors Laboratory in 2014, and City 1 is established by Crimson in the Beta Timeline. Crimson is in great relations with The Great Leader, and accomplishes his goal of starting a one world bank, and brainwashing a large majority of the population using microchips implanted into the civilians in Pine Lake.

Act 3
CCORP is founded in the 80s possibly but by a younger, alternate version of Crimson who has already advanced Pine Lake with Fusion Cells and Uranium along with prototype Hover-train support structures. Crimson builds the CORE, CORE Entrance, Deep Sea Base, and the Uroruh Time Machine to try to create his own source of time travel without a Time Core. In 1990, Crimson was commencing one of his tests in the Deep Sea Base but accidentally caused an explosion, deteriorating the environment on Pine Island and most of the world, dubbed the 1990 Incident.

Other Temporal Technology

 * The Time Train - Time Machine/Locomotive hybrid, taken by CCORP and converted into a time machine to deliver goods to the future. Seen in the Wild West quest attempting to take gold stolen from the Pine Lake Bank.


 * The Time Slower - A device capable of slowing down time for the user. Taken by an agent by Clint Westwood to give to the player. It was used to help stop the Time Train advance to the future.
