Director Management System

 was a computer control system designed by General Atomics International. It is an unique system that was still in testing stages, allowing The Director, a single master robot controlling a staff of servitor robots, to maintain any facility in a self-sufficient manner. Although theoretically the system was supposed to minimize the maintenance overhead, the Director remained a single point of failure that brought the entire system to a standstill if damaged in any way. While GAI was still working out the issues, RobCo Industries released a competitive mainframe control system that was ready for the market, and was selected by Nuka-Cola Corporation for use at the Galactic Zone amusement park.

Meanwhile, GAI had its hands full. The reason RobCo was chosen is because July 2077 demonstrated critical flaws in the DMS. The legally-mandated supervisor present at the Galleria had to intervene numerous times to prevent malfunctioning robots from attacking patrons early in the months, though the incidents were dismissed by GAI as caused by the intervention. Blaming the supervisor for the behavioral cascade failures and ordering him to refrain from contact with robots or patrons was a grave error. Around July 19, DMS-controlled robots attacked and killed several patrons, with GAI offering financial compensation to survivors. Unwilling to admit any wrongdoing on their part, the corporation ordered the supervisor to assist the Director in identifying malfunctioning robots and oversee its repairs. The executives assumed that further fatalities could occur, but rather than scrap the system, the supervisor was instructed to offer bribes (called "immediate financial settlements") to survivors on behalf of GAI. The corporation did, in fact, have an entirely separate compensation scale for such purposes, designated 14-J.

Things came to a head on July 26, when the failure to resolve the underlying systems caused enough deaths to force the board to close down the Galleria. The supervisor was instructed to notify the Director and oversee the immediate shutdown of the Galleria. However, the master robot promptly killed them when they shut the Galleria down.

The Galleria remained in stasis for the next three months as GAI devised firmware updates to resolve the underlying cascade failures. The Grand Reopening Protocol, as it was called, was transmitted to the robots remotely and was supposed to be activated on October 23, 2077, by Grand Reopening Supervisor 18-Alpha. However, Mr Kincaid never arrived at the Galleria. The Great War took care of that, preserving the Galleria in its dormant state for over two centuries. The robots continued to maintain it as best they could, but the lack of resupply and the pass of time took their toll. However, the DMS remained active, becoming an object of interest to robotics researchers in the region, such as Professor Scara.
