The RaccoonPestic/Sandbox is a plan devised to bring forth the appearance of a Messiah in Shin Megami Tensei II.

Profile

According to Messian teaching, the Millennium Kingdom, a reality where humanity will experience everlasting peace on Earth, will be completed once God sends a Messiah to the people to guide them to its creation.[1] Supposedly, this promised Messiah was meant to appear after Tokyo Millennium was constructed,[2][3] but despite this, even after Tokyo Millennium was completed, the Messiah never appeared. The Center Elders became perplexed by this, and unwilling to wait any longer for God to send a Messiah Himself, convinced themselves that it would be acceptable to create their own Messiah,[4][5] with their efforts to bring about this culminating in the creation of the Messiah Project.[6]

After determining each of the steps they would have to follow in the Messiah's creation, which would mimic the circumstances of a previous Messiah,[7] the Center gathered a wide array of scientists,[8] among them being the scientists Mekata and Hanada. Through the use of biotechnology such as accelerated breeding,[9] they created five beings from eggs.[10] These eggs were strengthened and placed in vats to speed up their growth to whatever age the Center deemed suitable to fulfill the next phase of their plan, though the survival rate for the eggs that underwent the accelerated growth was not guaranteed.[11] This was of no concern to the Center however,[12] and they continued on unimpeded regardless of the implied sacrifices.[13]

At the core of the project was the Messiah, who was to be named Aleph. His creation would differ from the other artificial humans in that he would be created through the use of in vitro fertilization, being a strengthened, fertilized egg that would be inserted into the body of a strong woman who would serve as the egg's surrogate. This woman would be chosen from a worthy family from the Center[14] under the guise that she was participating in an experiment aiming to improve the declining birth rates after the Great Cataclysm.[15] After the woman brought the child to term and gave birth to him, he would then be placed in a vat to age him up to adulthood within days.[16]

It was decided that the Messiah would have a partner similar to how the Hero had been accompanied by a faithful partner of his own,[citation needed] so the creation of Beth followed.

Trivia

  • Each person created as part of the Messiah Project is named after Hebrew letters, which are meant to be code names for them.
  • There were originally meant to be two other Messiah Project creations named after the 5th and 6th letters of the Hebrew alphabet. However, they were said to have been lost in a failed experiment and were "eaten" by Zayin.[17]
