Plankton Art

The origins of Plankton Art Co. at this time are unclear, but what is certain is that the two individuals reputed to head this organization have never been seen. Their reasons for such secrecy are unclear, and those individuals who serve closest to them are so fanatical in their slavish devotion that there is little hope in revealing their true identities. Wild rumors alluding to the couple actually being sentient, symbiotic colonies of marine microorganisms, while highly unlikely, can neither be confirmed nor denied at this time.
