Dynamic Connections

Automata: The Beginning
The dynamic connection that exists in Automata: The Beginning is the notebook containing original sketches and designs made by Leonardo DaVinci that some how ended up in Croatia in the mid-1800s eventually making its way into the hands of Nikola Tesla. The story of Leonardo DaVinci is presented in the macro-story which goes back into antiquity. The first part of the macro-story culminates with DaVinci and the second part begins with Tesla.

Volta
Tommy Volta's grandfather was one of Niokla Tesla's assistants which sparked an interest for science and invention in his family's bloodline. Tommy's father is a scientist and inventor, now he is following in the same footsteps. Tesla's influence is the source for this desire. So the Volta's feel this direct connection with Tesla himself because he was friends with Luca Volta.

Resurrection
In this graphic novel series we find out that Dr. Crake is the little brother of the boy who bullied Tommy Volta, that was struck on the head by Alph and fell into a coma.

The Schurks
This comic book series makes the connection with Automata: The Beginning. In the novel Edison is able to steal the notebook from the young inventor who found it. Though Edison was second in creating a robot he was able to mass produce it and in turn make more money. After WWI many veterans had robotic prosthetic limbs. Some reintegrated into a normal life while others faded into obscurity due to their disfigurements. And there were those who continued to fight. In the 1920s the U.S. government created an organization of cyborg assassins. They were given the nickname Schurks which means rogues in Germany and Austria, when they were hunting Nazi party members in the years leading up to WWII. The new members of Schurks make an appearance in Resurrection because they kidnapped Julian Crake before Dr. Crake could modify him to fit his evil enterprise. They are present in modern world history as a group of superheros. The Schurks are very important because though the members change over time, the name lives on as a beacon to rally around when times are tough. So quite literally anyone in the storyworld of Automata can become a Schurk member just as long as they are willing to lay down their life for the greater good.

Robolution
The dynamic connection made in this micro-story is that we are seeing the aftermath of the Human Front gaining a foothold worldwide.

Equilibrium
The connection made in this film is the made when we learn the Ixx Emeltron was DaVinci's first design contructed to the exact specifications outlined in the notebook. She is of ancient design therefore she is one of the most important characters in Automata.

Exodus
We know that Ixx Emeltron sent out a distress signal in Mech speak which was picked up by an extraterrestrial space craft traveling in our galaxy. They take all the robots and Earth is spared. The robots don't return for another 300 years to save them from an all out alien take over of the Milky Way galaxy.
