The Houston Omniversal Science and Technology (HOST) is a privately-owned agency headquartered within Rectangle Zone. It was founded on October 1, 2022, by [THE ZEITGEIST] in an attempt to research a mysterious phenomenon in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The impetus for its formation was Challenge 2. Something is terribly wrong.

History

Origin

Information on the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation is hard to obtain in and of itself, as any metastudies into the research itself invariably result in a mysterious amnesiac effect, and all publications to date exhibit strange behavior, including but not limited to flickering text and shifting format. Something is terribly wrong. The only information that exists on the topic can be found at this page, though the information present within is highly suspect at best, as the edit history from two centuries in the future, the page is riddled with unprofessional editing conduct, and a myriad of other reasons. No, I'm serious, the concept of this page is about to disintegrate. Sorry about that. You got fooled!

Founding

Both disheartened and inspired by this lack of available information, [THE ZEITGEIST] set out to rectify this issue by founding HOST. As such, since its conception, it has been explicitly dedicated toward original research and documentation on the above-stated phenomenon. Seeing as this was concurrent with the duration of Challenge 2, it was registered as an official team as well. When asked about how she felt about being on a solo team, [THE ZEITGEIST] stated that "something is terribly wrong," and remains optimistic about her ability to perform well in spite of this apparent disadvantage.

Publications

The relative new age of the agency means that there is an unfortunate lack of published research at this point in time, though there remain many potential projects. [THE ZEITGEIST] has stated that her efforts in the field will soon yield fruit, and that she is "eager to share [her] findings with the scientific community at large" as soon as they are available.
