Frame from the TIMM promo video that mentions the M-rotor.
The M-rotor is a mysterious object that first debuted subliminally in the This Is My Milwaukee promotional video. It was also mentioned in the handbook for hopeful Milwaukee residents, A Reasonable Haven, as well as in correspondences involving the Milwaukee Tourism Commission.

- A Reasonable Haven, on page 26:
But all of that is lollipops and porkchops compared
to the threat of M-collapse. This little-spoken-of con- tingency becomes a likelyhood during superspin com- manality of at least 80% of active rotors in the metro- politan area.
- Justus's call with Mike Russo[1]:
- MR: Mike Russo, Milwaukee Tourism Commission
- Me: Hey, our third guy just kinda split on us, and we're stranded in sector 21, in dire need of a rebreather
- MR: Well now...you shouldn't be in sector 21. It's a highly dangerous zone crawling with Godseed fragments. We'll get right on supplying you. Let me have your e-mail
- Me: (tells him)
- MR: Did you have any other questions?
- Me: ....what's an M-Rotor?
- MR: (long pause) ...it's not really important WHAT an M-Rotor is. It's far FAR more important WHERE an M-Rotor is, and HOW an M-Rotor is.
- Me: Is it dangerous?
- MR: As long as the M-Rotor is seated, it shouldn't be a problem. When it's unseated, that's when you really run into trouble.
- Me: I think I might need some instructions on how to seat an M-Rotor.
- (at this point, my high as gently caress roommate is giggling at the top of his lungs, and Mike hears it and flips the gently caress out on me)
- MR: HEY, DO YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF GOD-DAMNED JOKE? I AM SO SICK OF YOU GOD-DAMNED KIDS CALLING ME UP AND ASKING ABOUT M-ROTORS. GOD DAMNIT!!
- Me: ...I'm...sorry to hear that man.

- Krieg's call w/the MTC[3]:
- Called the tourism line, asking about how to recognize a Go.D.S.E.E.D. fragment, got assured frantically that I wouldn't run into them and they'd give me the proper tools to protect myself from them. Also, I said "My friends tell me that I might need something called an 'M-Rotor'...?" I was told that they were really important [I could hear him saying something to someone on another line/phone off to the side along the lines of 'Don't worry, we'll get you those Rebreathers, it'll be alright.']
- Also, new development, he asked when I was planning to relocate to Milwaukee. I said either sometime this week or next weekend, and he sorta laughed and told me to check the forecast.
- Excerpt of TREG's second call with Mike Russo[4]:
- [long, unrelated discussion]
- Me: Oh. All right. Can I just ask you one more question?
- Mike: Sure. Okay. Alright.
- Me: Where can I find an M-Rotor?
- Mike: (sigh) (hang up)
