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.

Rosario Dawson stars as Anna Diaz -- whose character frequently
goes under cover in this series as she seeks the truth about the
Sims.
