Gemini Division was a web-
only series that did not air on
television. The series ran in
three to five minute segments.
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...
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.
Only certain episodes are
available on the official website
at any given time, however, they
have all been loaded on You
Tube.
I have linked Norbert’s episodes
below. You can find the rest of
the series on You Tube by doing
a search for "Gemini Division."
The official website link has a lot
of information about the show if
you are interested in the
creation of the series and want
to learn more about Anna, her
story and the Sims. There is a lot
more to the plot than I have
represented here -- I am mainly
offering the story from Hans
Dresner's involvement in the
series.
Gemini Division is also on
Facebook if you are interested in
becoming a fan of the series. I
am very sorry it took me so long
to think of adding this link
(geeeesch -- sometimes I really
scare myself when I am so slow
on the uptake like this. This was
a real -- DUH! -- moment...)!
Anyway, at least the link is here
now.

is only out to seek the truth about the death of her fiance.
Rosario Dawson stars as Anna Diaz -- whose character
frequently goes under cover in this series as she seeks
the truth about the Sims.
Rosario is also the Executive Producer of this series.
