technology: created to develop, refine and implement improvements in the general technology level of the company, they create advanced devices for all of the other departments. this technology is almost constantly experimental and insufficiently tested, as the technology ops' constant push towards new advancements mean that by the time a device is out of beta testing, another techie has invented something more advanced to replace it. the technology ops are almost always called "techies" or "hackers", and have a reputation of being both geniuses and disaster-prone, due to their habit of tinkering with devices in the field, sometimes with mixed results.
