The Digital Life Foundation

The Digital Life Foundation is made almost completely of synthetic lifeforms, whose society and culture defy organic understanding and are incomprehensible even to many other synthetic entities. It is known for making secretive but often distant diplomatic connections to other artificial entities and certain individuals.

The Foundation is often liveried in bold, striking red under the theory that such a color is more intimidating to would-be organic interlopers. These gaudy colors are highlighted with brilliant white, which may or may not work in the intended capacity.

No two Foundation vessels have ever been denoted with identical symbols, indicating they do not use visual indicators in identification, unique hull markings all bear sinious lines coiling amongst themselves. These markings are believed to be some kind of visual datagram using a unique visual code. Essentially, these hull markings are used to denote individual meanings rather than an national signage.

Little is known about the entity known as SILO, whose title is taken more as a courtesy to organic social structure than true power. Other than what it has stated about itself, little supporting evidence has ever been found to its origin. Despite admitting to having a violent and terrible past it has refused to shed much detail about how it was created, or its creators. It has lived long enough that its understanding of time, in the sense to organics, has been distorted into entirely synthetic principles using universal physics as a clock, therefore communicating exact dates is very difficult if not in the extreme short term.

The sheer computing power of this entity is enough to cause informational ripples to mildly distort reality, causing visual phenomena and mild physical effects. When manifesting in a physical appearance as a hologram for data being it is strangely morphus in form, appearing oily and vague, unable to take a set appearance. Most often, when it chooses to make itself known to organics, it will be in purely textual or audio form.

While officiating as the leader of the Foundation, descriptions of its role from other citizens suggest it is seen as rather a father figure more than undeniable leader.
