pentex is fucking stupid

Sylver Medical Supplies

Founded near the turn of the century by a powerful Kindred, Sylver Medical Supplies rode the wave of the World War 2 economic boom to become a worldwide leader in its field. Though its founder often worked towards his self-interest and profit, the high-quality products it provided could not be denied.

Sensing the influence of the Wyrm already evident in its leadership, Pentex began to infiltrate the corporation, appealing to and eventually winning over the greed of its immortal CEO and wresting control from his hands. The takeover was complete by 1974. Finally free to have unrestrained control over the corporation, work went immediately to converting its once noble causes to the purposes of the Wyrm. Though complacent, the CEO is mostly ignorant of the greater mechanations of what his company now stands for, and serves them well as a particularly powerful puppet.

Though still of utmost quality, the taint infects the products to an agonizingly subtle degree. Representatives put high pressure on hospitals to use dangerous, invasive surgeries where a lighter touch would have done to insure more exposure to their spiritually-damaging products. IV bags are high in BPA, pumping the substance directly into the veins of people at their most vulnerable. Most insidious of all is the changing of the the mix of metals in syringe production. Vaccinations using Sylver goods introduce mercury and other dangerous metals to children at an early age. It is no coincedence that rates of autism began to increase when Pentex took over, causing strain on parents and educational facilities.

Not one to waste the opportunity to sew chaos where it can, a charitible organization known as the "Let's Talk Foundation" closely followed in its wake. While claiming to be seeking a cure, or at the very least relief for autistic individuals, but often focuses more on the "pressure" they put on parents and teachers, subtly encouraging misunderstanding at best, violence at worst towards their disadvantaged children. Several murders are claimed to have been linked to these messages, but Let's Talk continues to put on its philanthropic airs.

Being closely linked to Magadon, it is nearly impossible for Garou to respond to the Wyrm-taint they so obviously see. Sylver is able to profit as well off of Magadon's miracle cures, and is seen as contributing to the good of humanity. Their cries, more often than not, fall on deaf ears, and they cannot merely kill or interrupt people who are recieving what they see as genuine help. Though a relative newcomer, it's quickly risen to become one of Pentex's most insidious facets.
