Main Story
ACT2_STEP6_MONO_DESC I see the stone of the Monolith, its immovable muted silver. And yet something lurks beneath. It is grey and yet not grey, a crimson calling out from somewhere below its cool surface.
Tutorial
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_LANG_1 Readying Anomaly Detection Protocols…
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_DESC_1 This structure is unlike anything I’ve encountered on my journey so far. Everything about it is so obviously alien, so obviously out of place.

As I stare at it, words form themselves in my mind, a strange fragment of broken speech…

‘Is it Traveller? Is it friend?’
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_A_1 It is Traveller
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_B_1 It is Friend
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_DESC_2 It feels strange, responding to questions I am unsure that I am being asked.
But something has clearly taken notice of my reply. I am overwhelmed by a sense that something has awoken, that someone is watching me. It forms another question.

‘Is it first? Is it last?’
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_A_2 It is first
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_B_2 It is last
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_DESC_3 I do not know how I am being spoken to. This monolith is ancient, and I cannot escape the feeling it has asked these questions many times over. It asks again,

‘Has it seen the Crimson Eye? Has the Crimson Eye seen it?’
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_A_3 It has seen the Eye
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_B_3 The Eye has seen it
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_OPT_C_3 Both
TUTORIAL_MONOLITH_RES LIKELIHOOD OF ANOMALY EXCEEDS SAFETY PARAMETERS // BREACH DETECTED

ALERT // ALERT // THE BOUNDARIES FALL. THE WALLS COLLAPSE. YOUR UNIVERSE AWAITS.

NPC_EXO_MONO_LANG Know that I heard the word of the Atlas where Hirk had heard nothing.

In their rage, in their impotent jealousy, Hirk struck me from the mountain and I saw the truth of what the Monolith had said.

That my end would be an awakening. That in this dream, nothing should perish…

Or so it would be until the coming of the last Traveller. So it would be until the destruction of realities. Know this, the final testament of Nal…
NPC_EXO_MONO_DESC I approach the monolith. I am engulfed in its terrible truth. I see its words in the text of a thousand tongues, in the ephemera of countless stars.

I witness events that occurred millennia before my awakening…

I see two Vy’keen standing before a red glow, asking it of the universe.

I see a Gek and a Korvax, waiting side by side before me. And before the vision ends, I see a vision of something I have not seen before. Of something that does not belong in this or any place. Of hatred, grief, despair.

Of something that is yet to come…

I see the end of time, the end of all things. And in that crimson light, there is a figure, its hand held out before eternity…

I see all this, and then it is over. The monolith has nothing more to show me.

NPC_EXO_MONO_OPT_A Leave
NPC_EXO_MONO_RES_A I leave, shaken by my experience. As I go, I feel something right behind me, breathing, watching…

When I turn it is gone.
NPC_EXO_MONO_WAIT_DESC The Monolith stands vacant, without hope of further prophecy. I have obtained all that I can.
