District 14 (Nagel und Hammer)

“	Nagel und Hammer... The Wing that values experience above all else.	”
–Meursault

Nagel und Hammer (German: lit. Nail and Hammer), otherwise known as N Corp., is one of the 26 Wings of the City, overseeing District 14.

Overview

District 14, led by N Corp., is known for its prestigious universities and peculiar townscape, made up of completely white buildings, as if they are covered in snow.

The culture of the Corporation sees experience as its highest value. Within the Wing, many have made criticisms of prosthetic use in humans, considering pain to be a necessary component of the human experience. However, this ideology is not held equally within the Wing, leading to multiple factions forming. In the extreme, the Wing's beliefs have manifested in the formation of an Inquisition that carries a great hatred for those with prosthetics, leading to its employees raiding towns to "purge" them of the presence of prosthetics. While overall N Corp. is comparable to the other Wings, except with somewhat more "rigidness", it appears the Inquisition has grown in recent years.

N Corp. is divided into two major factions, "Nail" and "Hammer", and is managed by a Board of Directors, whom Hermann is a member of.

Singularity

The abilities of N Corp.'s Singularity are unknown, but the Corporation is responsible for manufacturing "Canned Experience", which grants anyone who consumes them experience of certain things, even if they had none prior. Once such Canned Experience, widely available across Nest N in vending machines, allows the consumer to experience suicide without actually committing said act. N Corp. Großhammer Meursault and N Corp. Mittelhammer Don Quixote's Identity Stories imply that these canned goods can be used for indoctrination, as the Inquisition utilizes them to keep some of their employees obedient.

N Corp., particularly Director Hermann's group, has also been developing a technology based on Yi Sang's Mirror. Through this technology, Kromer was able to view different Mirror Worlds and witnessed another reality where Sinclair became her subsidiary.

Notable Groups

New League of Nine Littérateurs

The group led by Director Hermann with two main goals: the expedition to locate and retrieve the Golden Boughs and the study of the Mirror Worlds. Through further study of the Mirror Worlds, lead by former members of the original League of Nine Littérateurs, they gain a deeper understanding of them and how to interact with them and utilize them. The Golden Boughs are used to power these experiments and are planned to one day assist in creating a primordial human and destroying every Mirror World. This group occasionally partners with other factions, such as the Yurodiviye, to assist in their collecting of the Golden Boughs.

Inquisition

The N Corp. Inquisition is a subdivision of Nagel und Hammer. It consists of fanatic employees who carry extremist beliefs over the purity of the human flesh, who bear an immense hatred for those with prosthetics. These fanatics carry out what they define "purification", meaning the murder and torture of people with prosthetics, particularly through the use of hammers and nails. Part of the members of this group are made to take Canned Experience that reinforces their belief in the need of purification.

This subdivision is run under a ranked hierarchy:

• The One who Grips: the highest ranking among the group, and their leader. Gives orders to other Inquisitors, who follow them unconditionally with religious zeal;
• The Großhammer: the second-in-command inquisitor, personally ordered by The One who Grips themselves to deliver justice upon those they deemed heretics;
• Mittelhammers: the third-in-command inquisitor;
• Kleinhammers: the second lowest pawn for an inquisitor.

Taboo Hunters

There are a total of 14 Taboos in N Corp.'s District. If any one of these Taboos are violated, a Taboo Hunter will be dispatched to handle the offenders. These Fixers are typically of a high grade, with the only currently known N Corp. Taboo Hunter being Grade 1, and have many augmentations, and they can easily kill even experienced combatants.

So far, the only known Taboo out of the 14 is "no visual recording", which extends to owning or viewing videos that were recorded in N Corp. When this taboo is violated, the Taboo Hunters first priority is the retrieval of any copies of the footage that have not yet been deleted. After that has been dealt with, the Taboo Hunter is meant to retrieve those who violated and send them to N Corp. The Taboo Hunter is not expected to kill the violators, but if facing resistance they can decapitate the target and transport their body in a preservation cube.
