Evolve or Die
“I’ve stared down the psychovector traces from EoD ops, and I swear they’re painting with madness on purpose. They’ll knock over a laundromat, blow up a cheese factory, and then disappear with a shipment of graphene. And I like that. A good enemy is hard to find.”
Evolutionary Extremism
Evolve or Die is a mutant supremacist terror organization that emerged from the ashes of justified outrage. Originally an offshoot of the Mutant Defense League—an organization focused on protecting mutant communities from anti-mutant terrorism—EoD radicalized after years of being ignored, marginalized, and preyed upon. They rejected the MDL's principles of coexistence and defense, adopting a vision of the future where mutation is not just a right, but a superiority to be enforced. For EoD, baseline humans are evolutionary dead weight. Their ideal is a post-human society shaped by mutant dominance, where unmutated humans are relegated to menial labor or eradicated entirely.
Operations and Tactics
EoD operates as a decentralized network, mostly active on Mars and Venus, though scattered cells exist across the solar system. Their most public acts are carried out by mutant death squads—teams of highly visible, highly lethal operatives who carry out high-profile assassinations, sabotage campaigns, and military-grade resource raids. They are known for their theatricality and brutality, choosing soft or symbolic targets to terrorize and demoralize rather than engage in full-blown warfare. While confrontations with HUMNX are rare, both groups use each other’s rhetoric as recruitment tools. More disturbingly, some suspect shadowy, unspoken agreements between the two extremist organizations to avoid direct confrontation in favor of targeting civilians.
Asymmetric Innovation
House of Helicon, famed for their predictive policing algorithms, have encountered one of their greatest challenges in EoD. In an effort to defy algorithmic profiling, EoD employs a radical adaptation of Mey's Law: When in doubt, do something crazy. This leads cells to commit random-seeming crimes like stealing unimportant goods, vandalizing irrelevant infrastructure, or making bizarre tactical decisions. While these actions seem chaotic, they deliberately disrupt predictive modeling efforts, masking more strategic moves under a haze of absurdity. The result is an organization that seems irrational on the surface but hides a cold, calculating core that has learned to weaponize unpredictability itself.
