Frontier is your own personal symbiont. It has a morphological matrix that targets your DNA and adapts itself to any environment. It is a quantum leap in biotechnology. It is biopower at your fingertips.
Here at Master Dynamic we are designing novel molecular structures to redefine what biology can accomplish. Frontier pinpoints your needs and transforms you accordingly. The two of you become one holistic being, eventually being unable to distinguish between host and symbiont. This is what evolution looks like.
We welcome you to join us in the exploration of this new Frontier.
