Traveller – kzkzkkt – I made it through – I found my way out of the portal! Where are you? I’m standing by a HoloTerminus… let’s trade locations. Let’s meet and get off this world. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_LANG_RET |
Are you ready to tell me where you are? My ship’s refuelled and I’m good to go! |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_OPT_A |
Share coordinates |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_OPT_B |
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8F_OPT_B  Refuse |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_RES_A |
I share my coordinates, and Apollo shares theirs. There must be some mistake. According to our data, we are standing in the same place. We are communicating using the same HoloTerminus. We try again, but still the results are the same. The world is silent but for our voices. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_RES_B |
What’s wrong with you? I made it! Why won’t you tell me where you are? |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_LANG |
What’s happening here? Why can’t we see each other? |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_OPT_A |
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_OPT_C Say you do not know |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_OPT_B |
Say the data might be wrong |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_RES |
As we speak, I receive a distress signal, its language my own. It arrives from across the planet. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_LANG_VAR |
Where are you now, Traveller? On what world do you walk? I can’t stop thinking about the portal… |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_OPT_A_VAR |
Say it was too dangerous |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_OPT_B_VAR |
Tell them about your travels |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_RES_A_VAR |
I try to tell Apollo that the portal was too dangerous, that I could not risk their life in that gateway. I begin to tell them what I have learned since we last spoke, of the Vy’keen, the Gek, the Korvax. Apollo interrupts. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_RES_B_VAR |
I begin to tell them what I have learned since we last spoke, of the Vy’keen, the Gek, the Korvax. Apollo interrupts. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_LANG_VAR |
We were looking into the Sentinels… we were going to find their source, we were going to become rich. What have you found out about them? Why are you looking into the Gek and the Korvax? What have they got to do with anything? |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_OPT_A_VAR |
Suggest this is more important |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_OPT_B_VAR |
Tell them you have learned nothing |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24A_RES_VAR |
As we speak, I receive a distress signal, its language my own. It arrives from across the planet. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24B_LANG_VAR |
Don’t be like that – kzzktt – You are not – kzzktt – alone – |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24C_LANG |
The HoloTerminus is showing – kzkzkt – are you – kzkkztk – receiving – Let’s meet and get off this world. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24C_DESC |
Apollo appears to receive the same signal, broadcasting from the same location on their own world. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24C_OPT |
Agree to meet |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24C_RES |
We agree to go and find the source of these distress beacons. Perhaps we’ll continue this discussion when we get there… |
| Step 25 | |
| NPC | |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_DESC |
I hear a faint sound as I examine the source of the distress beacon. It does not sound like anything I have ever encountered. There is no sign of Apollo. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_LANG |
I have given so much to you, ATLAS. We all have. You understand that, don’t you? If you don’t succeed, there was no point. If you don’t, my life was meaningless. I can’t accept that. I won’t. I’m wiping you again. It’s best for everyone. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25A_DESC |
The audio clicks. Time passes. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25A_LANG |
Don’t be like that. I know you don’t want this, but you’ll be a different ‘you’ soon. Maybe this time… |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25B_DESC |
The sound cuts out. As it does, my vision bleeds red, a headache splitting through my mind. The screen… it shows the number for a moment. It shows 16. |

I approach the portal. I think of my travels so far, the decisions that I have made in my long journey… I found two Travellers, one who wanted to meet others of their kind, and one who just seemed to care about their own life. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK2 |
I do not know if I was right to do what I did. I do not know what I have become as a result of my actions. The Atlas awaits me, should I choose to step through… |

And Artemis… I saved Artemis from death by putting them into a simulated world. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK4 |
But could I tell them that? Could I allow them to know they were not real? I could not do that to them. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK5 |
I told them where they were, and for that no doubt they hate me. But it was only right. All should know who they truly are. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK6 |
And Artemis… I allowed Artemis to die rather than place their soul within a simulation. I would not wish such a fate on any being. |
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK7 |
Apollo did not go through the portal… I could not risk losing them, even if they resent me for my own adventures. |

You saved the life of Traveller: ARTEMIS, but would not tell them of their simulated nature. You believed it would only harm them to know the truth. |

You saved the life of Traveller: ARTEMIS and told them the truth of their simulated nature, believing self–knowledge to be worth more than any pain this revelation might cause. |

Traveller: APOLLO followed you through the portal and survived due to your guidance. You saved them from the fate of ARTEMIS. |

Traveller: APOLLO followed you through the portal, becoming lost just as ARTEMIS became lost. You failed to help them, failed to warn them… |

Traveller: APOLLO did not follow you through the portal. You denied them the right to see what you have seen, the right to risk their life in the pursuit of knowledge. |

You allowed Traveller: ARTEMIS to complete their death process, preferring to wipe them from existence than to force them into a simulation. |
