Gemini Division
Gemini Division was a web-only series that did not air on television. The series ran in three to five minute
segments. The series was produced by and starred Rosario Dawson.
Hans told Anna that during the Cold War, his father had sold the patent for revolutionary gene therapy. It was stolen by the Stasi and used
for medical experiments on prisoners. His father was despised by his peers for creating something that caused so much suffering. He had
actually created it to do exactly the opposite -- to cure man's worst diseases. He hung himself and his body was found by an eleven year-old
Hans.
The Stasi then sold the patent to a biotech consortium who then modified it for war and used it to create the original Sims.
Hans sees the Sim project as a validation of his father's vision, and now feels that the great work to cleanse his heritage can begin.
Hans tells Ana about his father's background and offers her a red rose.
Hans holds a gun on Anna when he finds out she is Gemini and an adversary, not realizing she is only out to seek the
truth about the death of her fiance.

Norbert is Hans Dresner, leader of the Sim Underground in this NBC.com web-only science fiction series about
"Simulants" or Sims, bio-engineered life forms.
Rosario Dawson, Executive Producer of the series, stars as Ana Diaz, a former NYPD undercover police officer turned
Gemini Division agent who is seeking the truth about the murder of her fiance, one of the several hundred Sims that
had been created and programmed to fight in the Iraq war. The cores at the center of the Sims' intelligence and actions
have all gone bad; therefore they are all scheduled to be destroyed by Gemini. Anna holds the key to the termination
dates and she turns them over to Hans. When the Sims reach their specific date, their cells turn cannibalistic and eat
the live host, killing the Sim in a painful death. Hans and his team are working on a solution to that problem through
the use of gene therapy.
It took long enough for Norbert's character to appear in this series, but it was most definitely worth the wait! This
character was quite enjoyable on many levels, even though there wasn't a lot of character develop-ment or screen time
given the nature of this web series. I would have been much happier if there had been a lot more Hans Dresner in this
show! Hans has become one of my favorites out of all of his characters, even though Konrad is in no danger of losing
his commanding lead over everyone else...
