Ether Institute of Telepathic Medicine

The Ether Institute of Telepathic Medicine is a medical facility where the entirety of Ether One takes place.

Overview
The Ether Institute is a futuristic facility which specializes in memory access and retrieval. Their primary program, which is the basis of the plot in Ether One, involves restoring and reconstructing patients' memories that have been damaged by dementia. This particular project is led by Dr. Phyllis Edmunds, who guides the "restorer" (the player) through 3D simulations of a patient's memories.

Dr. Edmunds makes it clear to players that the project they are working on is incredibly important for the continued operation of the institute, and how it is imperative they succeed, or else funding will be lost and the program will likely be shuttered.
