Trans-Species Coalition (TSC)
The Trans-Species Coalition is a global regulatory organization founded in 2165 in response to the increasing frequency of biological mergers following the Great Cellular Convergence. The organization serves as the primary governing body for overseeing and establishing ethical guidelines for conscious entity integration and cross-species fusion protocols.
History
The TSC emerged from the need to regulate the rapidly developing field of voluntary symbiosis after several unauthorized merger attempts resulted in the creation of unstable hybrid entities. Founded by a diverse group of scientists, ethicists, and merged beings, the Coalition established the first comprehensive framework for managing inter-species integration.
Core Functions
The Coalition's primary responsibilities include:
- Maintaining the Unified Merger Registry
- Issuing Integration Licenses to qualified facilities
- Developing ethical guidelines for conscious fusion
- Protecting the rights of merged entities
- Preventing unauthorized experimentation
- Operating Symbiotic Recovery Centers
Notable Achievements
The TSC has been instrumental in developing the Universal Consent Protocol, which requires all participating organisms to demonstrate clear indicators of willingness before any merger attempt. They also established the groundbreaking Consciousness Preservation Act of 2172, ensuring that individual awareness remains intact during fusion processes.
Controversy
The Coalition faced significant criticism during the Neo-Sapiens Crisis of 2175, when a group of unauthorized researchers attempted to create enhanced human beings through forced symbiosis with quantum-sensitive bacteria. This incident led to the implementation of stricter regulations and the creation of the Emergency Separation Protocol.
Structure and Organization
The TSC operates through a unique tri-consciousness system of governance, where decisions require consensus from representatives of singular organisms, merged entities, and hybrid beings. This structure ensures balanced representation across all forms of life affected by integration policies.
