GLOCK (Guardians Lawfully Opposed to Corrupt Karmics) is an international military organization. It was established by an American scientist by the name Travis Augustine Reiher (among other founding members) in 1893. And to this day, it remains dedicated to protecting the planet from any high-level threats. Regarding low-level threats, it has a law enforcement division for police officers. And for mid-level threats, a private agents division for bounty hunters. Though they haven't met directly, the African subsidiary of GLOCK has been a great aide in Umeme, Radi & Co.'s fight against the Nightmares. Or as they would call them, NMEs (Noncooperative Malintent Enigmas).
In regards to GLOCK's logo, more specifically its seven stars, each one represents a continent. And the order of establishment goes as follows.
First Star: North America (Main Headquarters)
Second Star: South America
Third Star: Europe
Fourth Star: Asia
Fifth Star: Africa
Sixth Star: Australia
Seventh Star: Antarctica

"12:47 AM"
An art piece made by Poppy Suffolk (at the age of 12). One of her many works over the years. This piece in particular is a personal favorite, as it reminds her of home.
She was born in the UK, but her family moved to Africa for a new job opportunity in Lagos, Nigeria. There, a radio station under the network "Wild Grind Radio" is hosted by the famous DJ MNDrill. He just so happens to be an old friend of Poppy's father, Archie Suffolk, a fairly popular British jazz musician. And after asking him to be a fellow co-host of his show, it was an offer he just couldn't pass up.
In regards to her mother, Isla D.W. Suffolk, she's off working as a private jet charter. With her most frequent client being a world renowned architect.

VIRTUAL REALGAR
Having emerged in 2071 -- the Virtual Realgar is a cutting-edge piece of Immobian technology, that has revolutionized the field of virtual reality. At its core, it is an artificial gemstone that is designed to absorb and process digital data, and then translate that data into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
The Virtual Realgar is made using advanced materials and manufacturing techniques that allow it to seamlessly integrate with existing virtual reality systems. It is designed to be worn on the body, typically in the form of a headband or helmet -- and is capable of wirelessly connecting to a variety of devices and platforms.
When activated, the Virtual Realgar begins to absorb digital data from the surrounding environment. This data can come from a variety of sources, including video games, video recordings, and other virtual experiences. Once the data is absorbed, the Virtual Realgar processes it and translates it into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain.
The result is a highly immersive and realistic virtual reality experience, in which the user feels as though they are truly present in the virtual environment. This technology has many potential applications, be it for entertainment purposes or education / training.
Side Note: Prototypes incorporating the Virtual Realgar consisted of only black and red visuals. In which prolonged exposure resulted in headaches, dizziness, nausea, and eye pain.

PHILOSOPHER'S FOUNTAIN
The Philosopher's Fountain is a mysterious and legendary structure, located in Xmas Island. It is said to appear only once every ten years -- and the spot it appears in is completely random, adding to its enigmatic nature. Once awakened, the fountain is prepared to grant a single wish. But there's just one catch: to have said wish granted, one must first give up something of equal value.
The fountain itself appears worn out and decrepit -- no doubt ancient in origin. Yet it still stands the test of time, especially its ever flowing water. The water is said to be infused with mystical properties, and perhaps even sentience. One need only speak their mind, and it will respond to any desire -- just as long as an agreement has been made .
Only a select few know about the fountain's existence. Given the high cost of making a wish, they'd be reasonably hesitant to attempt it. However, those who do are often changed forever by the experience. For better, or for worse.

SLOAPS
(aka SOAP N' SLIPS)
Sloaps are a popular footwear accessory among young Immobians, particularly those who are interested in extreme sports and adventure. These unique slippers are made from a specialized fabric that is both durable and flexible, allowing the wearer to perform a wide range of high-speed maneuvers and stunts.
The key feature of Sloaps is the specially designed sole, which is double-coated with a slick, soap-like substance. This allows the wearer to slide, skate, and grind across a variety of surfaces. These include ramps, rails, loop-de-loops, and other challenging obstacles.
While Sloaps were initially developed as a practical solution for urban exploration and parkour-style activities, they have since become a popular fashion statement among the youth. Many different styles and designs are available, ranging from bright and bold colors to more subdued and practical options. Regardless of the style, however, Sloaps are a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of extreme sports and adventure.

IMMOBIAN CEPHALAPOD LANGUAGE
(Tongue of the Tentacle)
Due to their uniquely shaped vocal cords, Immobian cephalopods can only speak in incoherent gurgly sounds. Coincidentally though, their "languages" eerily resemble that of the different ciphers.
Squids: Caesar Cipher (4 letters (a➡e))
Octopi: Atbash Cipher
Cuttlefish: ROT13 (A-Z, a-z)
Nautilus: Standard Vigenère Cipher
For example, "Iwuymzip" when decoded in Caesar Cipher translates to "Esquivel".

BLAST PROCESSING UNIT
In regards to CLBR Amiga, her "Variable Skill System" allows her to scan and replicate the abilities of other CLBRs -- using them as her own. This feature functions efficiently thanks to her Blast Processing Unit. It's a specialized computer chip exclusive only to Amiga. With it, she can delete hundreds of old data files and download new hundreds -- doing so at remarkable speeds. Said files being the schematics of an individual CLBR. Because of this, she can only utilize one skill at a time. Replacing it with another skill if need be, and so on.

TONE
Tone is a unique creature in the world of Immobi, and in Umeme's life especially. Tone is a pet tadpole that was given to him by his grandmother, Yumna, on his 7th birthday. It was raining pretty heavily that day, inspiring the cheetah to name him after the words "tone la mvua". Umeme's favorite animal has always been frogs, so this led Yumna to choose a tadpole as the perfect gift for him. Well... not exactly perfect.
Despite the passing years, Tone still remains in a tadpole state to this very day. This is due to a genetic defect that has hindered his metamorphic lifecycle. This unusual characteristic sets Tone apart from other frogs, making him even more special to Umeme. Despite his stunted growth, Umeme provides him with the best possible care -- making sure he be livin' in paradise.
Fun Fact: Yumna and Umeme used to play some hide-n'-seek involving the tadpole. She would hide Tone somewhere in the house, and Umeme would try and find him. Good times. Totally not tedious at all.

IMMOBIAN CHEETAH BIOLOGY
1.) Spot Variation: Immobian African cheetahs have oval-shaped spots. Whereas their Asiatic counterparts have rigid, streak-like spots.
2.)Top Speed: They have a top running speed of 150 mph. Cheetahs such as Umeme, however, are an obvious exception.
3.) Sign of Maturity: When male Immobian cheetahs grow older, their tear marks develop into tuft-like protrusions on each side of their face. It's basically akin to growing a mustache or beard.
