NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_RES_B	I leave the communicator be. There is no sense disturbing the dead.
Step 3
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_DESC	I received a set of mysterious coordinates from an unknown source. I followed the signal, and found the wreckage of an abandoned starship. There was little be gained from the wreck, but the distress beacon contained the hailing frequency labelled ‘ARTEMIS’. There is nothing for it but to continue exploring.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_RES_A	Artemis needs my help. I need to find a way to boost the signal.
Step 4
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_DESC	After returning to my ship, a stranger identifying themselves as Artemis contacted me. Static and interference rendered communication difficult, but it is clear that Artemis needs my help. I must find some way to boost the signal before it is too late.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_OBJ1	Locate a long distance transmitter
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_OBJ1_TIP	To re-establish contact with Artemis, first locate a long-distance transmitter. Holographic communication towers can be found on many planets. Such a device might be powerful enough to establish a stable connection.

If you visit a space station, there will plenty of locals able to match our star patterns. I’ll patch my translator through so that you can understand what they’re saying.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_8B_OPT_A	Argue with them
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8B_OPT_B	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Ask why
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8B_RES_A	Call yourself whatever you want. But you can’t hide the truth. ‘Friend’ is just a label, a pretence to make you feel better about being alone.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8B_RES_B	Why do you use that word at all? ‘Friend’. It is just a label, a pretence to make you feel better about being alone.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8C_LANG	Why are you contacting me, anyway? Is Artemis behind this? I haven’t changed my mind. I don’t care if some dream says we’re Travellers, I’ll meet if I’m paid to meet. Even this conversation is a waste of valuable contract time.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8C_OPT_A	Say Artemis is in trouble
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8C_RES_A	I tell Apollo that Artemis is in trouble. That they attempted to use a portal and became stranded on some distant and uncharted world, disappearing from the HoloTerminus network. Apollo’s demeanour changes. They appear uncomfortable at the news.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_OPT_A	Claim it is a species
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_OPT_B	Claim it is a purpose
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_OPT_C	Say you do not know
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_RES_A	Artemis sent you, didn’t they? They should have explained. We aren’t a species. Do you and I look anything alike? Some of us are biological, some of us are machines, some don’t even have physical form.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_RES_B	Artemis sent you, didn’t they? They should have explained. We’re more than just a purpose. You think I go around naming planets and scanning animals? No. Each of us can choose to be who we want to be.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_RES_C	Artemis sent you, didn’t they? But perhaps you do have some wisdom in that head of yours. None of us know what we are, and none of us can. We do not live in a world of truth.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8E_LANG	That name, ‘Traveller’, it doesn’t mean a thing. So if Artemis did send you, you can tell them that I haven’t changed my mind about meeting. I’ll do it if I’m paid to do it. Even this conversation is a waste of valuable contract time.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8E_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8C_OPT_A Say Artemis is in trouble
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8E_RES_A	I tell Apollo that Artemis is in trouble. That they attempted to use a portal and became stranded on some distant and uncharted world, disappearing from the HoloTerminus network. Their last word was Apollo’s name. Apollo’s demeanour changes.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_8F_RES_B	Then I can’t help you. Come back when you decide to care.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8F_LANG_RET	You’ve reconsidered, of course. Show me what you found. I can help.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8G_LANG	These noises, they sound just like the echoes of Sentinel events. You’ve seen them before, of course. Drones that appear from nowhere if you interfere with their precious planets. But this data, it’s distorted, inverted… The Vy’keen will pay handsomely if we figure out how the Sentinels appear so quickly. And this recording of yours? The portals? Perhaps they’re the key.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8G_OPT_A	Agree
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8G_OPT_B	Suggest life is worth more than money
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8G_RES_B	You’re worried about Artemis? Don’t be. If we can figure this out, we can save them.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_LANG	So what do you say? Do you want to work together on this? Be partners?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_LANG_RET	Have you changed your mind, then? Do you want to help me figure out where the Sentinels are coming from? There’s good pay in it, if we’re successful…
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_OPT_A	Accept
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_OPT_B	Reject
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_RES_B	Let me know if you reconsider. I don’t need your help to get this done, though it’d be appreciated.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8I_LANG	If you’re going to work with me, we need to set you up with a base of operations. I’ll send you to a contact of mine, they’ll find you somewhere nice. Just remember to be polite.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_8I_LANG_ALT	If you’re going to work with me, your equipment needs to be in good condition. We can’t have you dying out there. Not yet, at least. You can find Nanite Clusters scattered in abandoned buildings and other damaged machines. Ironic, really: the same structures the Sentinels destroyed will lead to their deaths. Trade these Nanite Clusters with merchants in space stations to get the blueprints you need.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_17F_DESC	Reality fades. Everything does. My body, my voice, my soul… all of it speaks to me. The Atlas stands before me in all its might. I want to ask about Artemis, I want to find them, but something is happening to me… I need to get out of here, I need to –

NPC_CORE_ACT1_17F_RES_C	I try to submit, but it is too late for that, far too late… I have belonged to this creature my entire life.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_17G_DESC	Reality begins to fade, the walls of this unnatural place shifting in my sight. I see things no–one should see. I see worlds with liquid souls, dimensions of hate and wonder. I have gained the attention of the ATLAS.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_17G_OPT	Flee…

UI_CORE_ACT2_PORTAL_TITLE	16 / 16
UI_CORE_ACT2_PORTAL_SUB	Master the Portal Network
Step 1
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP1_DESC	The portal took me further than I could have ever imagined. I saw the ATLAS itself. I am now a long way from my ship, and even further from anyone I know.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP1_OBJ1	Locate your Starship
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP1_OBJ1_TIP	The portal has placed you some distance from your ship. Head towards the ship’s marker to locate it.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP1_MSG1	Locate and board your starship
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_DESC	I escape to my ship, glad of something familiar in this strange world. Where has the portal taken me? I was caught in the gravity of that infernal machine, not strong enough to resist. It identified itself as ATLAS, the entity so many worship and fear. I saw no sign of Artemis, no trace of the Sentinels. Why did I even step through that gateway? Why did I follow this path?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_OPT_A	To rescue Artemis
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_OPT_B	To kill Sentinels
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_OPT_C	Because I can
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_RES_A	Is that true? Or is it just a lie I tell myself, the kind of thought a noble person might have? Artemis was in need of assistance, but did I really risk my life just for them? There is something more, some other yearning… As I stare at the console, an opportunity presents itself once more. There is an inbound transmission, emerging from a location on this very planet…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_RES_B	Do I truly yearn for violence? The Sentinels protect these worlds. They only turn hostile when peace is threatened. Do I destroy these creatures simply because I was asked to, because Apollo promised rewards? As I stare at the console, an opportunity presents itself once more. There is an inbound transmission, emerging from a location on this very planet…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_RES_C	I tell myself that I do all of this because I can, that I do not really care about Artemis or about the Sentinel threat. Perhaps this is true, perhaps I need no higher purpose. As I stare at the console, an opportunity presents itself once more. There is an inbound transmission, emerging from a location on this very planet…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1_RES_CHUNK	As I stare at the console, an opportunity presents itself once more. There is an inbound transmission, emerging from a location on this very planet…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1A_LANG	You are not – kzzktt – alone –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1A_DESC	The signal appears to be coming from beneath the surface of the world, using the same words that led me to Artemis so long ago. I must descend into the deep to find its source…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_1A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1D_OPT_A End transmission
Step 2
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_OBJ1	Locate the mysterious distress signal
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_OBJ1_TIP	The signal appears to be emanating from deep underground. Find a path into the cave to locate the distress beacon.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_OBJ1_TIP_ALT	The signal appears to be emanating from deep underground. Find a path into the cave and use the Scanner SCAN<> to locate the distress beacon.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_MSG1_ALT	The distress signal appears to be underground Find a cave and use <IMG>SCAN<> to track the signal
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_MSG1_ALT2	Signal not yet traced Continue searching and scanning <IMG>SCAN<>
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP2_OSD1	UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP2_OSD COORDINATES RECEIVED
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2_DESC	I approach the source of the signal. A hologram appears. It is Artemis, but there is only silence, the slow pulse of cosmic noise in the signal.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2_OPT_A	Ask who is there
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2_OPT_B	Ask if they are alright
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2A_DESC	If Artemis can hear me, they make no sign. The hologram just stares. It’s strange, but I feel a sense of déjà vu. As if I’ve been here before, right at this very moment.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_OPT_A Ask where they are
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2A_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_OPT_B Ask what is wrong
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2B_DESC	As I move closer, the Artemis projection begins to speak, its words punctuated by a strange static. ‘They came – zzkttt – watched closely – kkttkzzzz – Machines, murderers, – kkkttzz – against the – kttktzzz –’ The voice falls silent. The projection looks at me. Something is very wrong.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2B_DESC_ALT	As I move closer, the Artemis projection begins to speak, its words punctuated by a strange static. The voice falls silent. The projection looks at me. Something is very wrong.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2B_LANG_ALT	They came – zzkttt – watched closely – kkttkzzzz – Machines, murderers, – kkkttzz – against the – kttktzzz –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2B_OPT_A	Scan the hologram
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2B_RES_A	I scan the hologram. It bears the exact same signature as every other transmission I have received from Artemis. There is no ulterior source for the signal. Everything they have said appears to have come from this cave. As I stand here, Artemis begins to speak.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2C_LANG	Where are – zzzktt – culled them, but still beloved – Anomaly, they – zzkkt – Nada – kkttzz – Polo, watching us, – kzzktkzzz – tracking – – Zzzkktt – mistake – kktkttzzz – abandoned, but it wasn’t – Through the Portal – zzkktt – Please. Don’t trust – kzzkkzktttzz… I’m afraid. Aren’t – kzzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2C_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_OPT_B Comfort Artemis
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2C_OPT_B	Step back
NPC_CORE_ACT2_2C_RES	The projection fizzles away to mere static. This echo is all that is left of the entity known as Artemis, a grave of glitched data in a sunless cave. My friend is dead. Perhaps they were never alive. I depart for the sunlight. I must tell Apollo what I have seen.
Step 3
Ship
ACT2_STEP3_SHIP_DESC	The Atlas is dying. It wants me to reset it, to plunge myself through its interface at the centre of the galaxy. But to do may reset this world, my life, all that I know. I do not know if I can do it.
ACT2_STEP3_SHIP_OPT_A	Seek the Final Interface
ACT2_STEP3_SHIP_OPT_B	Complete the Atlas Path
ACT2_STEP3_SHIP_OPT_C	Explore the galaxy
ACT2_STEP3_SHIP_RES_C	The Atlas is dying, but on an alien timescale. There are years left to explore, and countless planets to discover without resetting the Galaxy.
Step 3
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_DESC	Artemis is dead. Perhaps they were never alive. I found a strange fragment in a cave, an artifact, a projection of Artemis. But it was just data trapped in a loop. It had no understanding of who or where it was. I need to contact Apollo and let them know what has happened.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OSD2	BREAK // BREAK // BREAK // DATASTREAM OVERRIDDEN
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_MARKER2	UNKNOWN SIGNAL
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ2	Speak with the Stranger…
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ2_TIP	A strange being has appeared at the Holo-Terminus.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_MSG1	Contact Apollo at a Holo-Terminus Use <IMG>SCAN<> to scan your surroundings.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_MSG2	Contact Apollo at a Holo-Terminus
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_MSG3	UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ2 Speak with the Stranger…
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ4	UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG3 UI_CORE_HOLOHUB_MSG3_NLL Speak to -null-
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ4_TIP	UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP3_OBJ2_TIP A strange being has appeared at the Holo-Terminus.
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_HOLOHUB_LANG	WARNING // NETWORK COMPROMISED // WARNING // MANUAL OVERRIDE REQUIRED
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_HOLOHUB_DESC	There are no signal matches for Artemis or Apollo. The terminal is a stream of warnings and errors.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_HOLOHUB_OPT_A	Perform manual override
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_HOLOHUB_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_HOLOHUB_RES	The warning messages cease. Some new frequency shimmers into being…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_LANG	Tell me… What’s the point in living if we know that life will finish?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_OPT_A	Suggest death does not erase life
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_OPT_B	Suggest we improve the lives of others
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_OPT_C	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8D_OPT_C Say you do not know
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_OPT_D	NPC_CORE_ACT1_4A_OPT_A Ask who they are
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_RES_A	But it does. All those moments, gone, everything that came before. Meaningless.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_RES_B	And when they die too? What then of those improvements? What then of good and evil? Nothing remembered, nothing forgiven.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_RES_C	Neither do I…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3_RES_D	You refuse to answer? That’s answer enough, I suppose.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_LANG	I know you, Traveller. I know where you’ve been. I know where you’re going. What if I told you that Artemis could be saved? What if I told you that Artemis could live once more, after a fashion? What would you do then, I wonder?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_OPT_A	Say you would do it
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_OPT_B	Say you need to know more
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_OPT_C	Demand to know who they are
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_RES_A	Like a fool you rush in, eager to do whatever you are commanded. You remind me of myself, you know.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_RES_B	A sceptic? Well, Artemis was already dead. Your journey to save them has failed. What do you have to lose?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3A_RES_C	I am nothing.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_LANG	The blood of Artemis is data, the heart its glitch. I can help you retrieve them. We require a <TECHNOLOGY>Mind Arc<>, a receptacle for their soul. Can you do that for me? I am reactivating Artemis’ frequency. Speak with them when you are ready.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_DESC	The stranger offers me blueprints for something they call the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind Arc<>, a device they claim will allow me to restore Artemis to life.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_LANG_RET	They are in such pain, Traveller. The world of the dead is not empty. You must help them, one way or the other.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8H_OPT_A Accept
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8F_OPT_B Refuse
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_RES_A	I accept, not knowing who this stranger is or how they possess such knowledge of my adventures. But if there is a chance that I can help Artemis, I will take it.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_3B_RES_B	I refuse, uncertain of the stranger’s motives. They tell me to return when I am ready.
Step 4
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_DESC	I have encountered another Traveller, named -null-. They seem unusually aware of my journey, and have offered a way to ‘save’ Artemis. They claim it is possible to restore Artemis’ mind and store it in a device they call a ‘Mind Arc’.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG1	Craft a <TECHNOLOGY>Mind-Arc<> for Artemis: %CURRENT%/%AMOUNT%
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG2	Bring the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind-Arc<> to Artemis
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG3	UI_CORE_HOLOHUB_MSG3_NLL Speak to -null-
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ1	Learn how to make Mind-Arc Components
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ1_TIP	The Mind-Arc can be used to rescue Artemis. Advanced components require a base <TECHNOLOGY>Scientist<>. Select <TECHNOLOGY>Scientific Research<> missions from the Log (`OPTIONS<>``)
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG4	Build a Mind-Arc to rescue Artemis Advanced components require a base <TECHNOLOGY>Scientist<> Use the <TECHNOLOGY>Space Station Teleport<> to quickly return to your base.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_MSG5	Bring the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind-Arc<> to Artemis Use the <TECHNOLOGY>Base Teleport<> to return to the system where you left Artemis
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ2	Craft a Mind-Arc
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ2_TIP	The Mind-Arc can be used to rescue Artemis. Advanced components require a base <TECHNOLOGY>Scientist<>.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ3	Bring the Mind-Arc to Artemis
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP4_OBJ3_TIP	Find Artemis at the Holo-Terminus.
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_WAIT_LANG	Are you – kzkzkt – are you – kzkzkkt – are you – kkzkzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_WAIT_DESC	Artemis repeats these two words endlessly, unable to see my face or hear my voice. I must craft the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind Arc<> before I can help them further.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_WAIT_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_LANG	– kzzkkt – …
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_OPT_B Comfort Artemis
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_OPT_ARC	Use Mind Arc
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_RES_A	I attempt to comfort Artemis, telling them that everything will be alright. They turn to me with a wild look of panic, clearly not expecting my voice.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4A_LANG	Who is that? Who – kzkzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A Identify yourself
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4A_OPT_B	Use the Mind Arc
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4A_RES_A	I tell Artemis I am their friend. That I could not find them within the portal, but that I have found a way to restore them.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4B_LANG	I didn’t – I didn’t – kzkkt – think you would come back… You never gave – kzkzkt – up, did you? All these years…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4B_OPT_A	Ask what Artemis means
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4C_LANG	I’ve – kzkzkkt – I’ve been here for twenty years, waiting for you to – kzzkkt – You were going to find my star chart, weren’t – kzkzt –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4C_OPT_A	Claim they will be safe soon
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4D_LANG	Who is that? Who – kzkzkt – who’s there?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4D_DESC	Artemis repeats their words again, our conversation all but forgotten. They stare at me, their eyes pained, their mind trapped in an endless loop. They appear to have spent twenty years in this pseudo–death, haunted by loneliness and fear. If the stranger’s device works, perhaps I can help Artemis move on.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4_ARC_RES	I activate the Mind Arc. I do not know what I expect. Some show of light and fury, some catharsis where Artemis emerges in the flesh, restored to life before my eyes. But it is not to be. One moment I see their hologram, and the next there is nothing. The stranger who gave me these blueprints beckons me over, their signal still active.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_4E_LANG	The Travellers were a dream, an idea that we would meet and become more than ourselves. Artemis had it. You had it. Apollo too, though they would conceal it. Even I had this dream, long ago. There are more of us than you know, my friend, walking these worlds, yearning for friendship. No–one wants to be alone, not truly. But the closer you get to others, the more you risk hurting yourself, hurting them. The deepest secret of the universe is not that of the Glass, or the Aerons, or the progenitors. It is that final act, the decision to abandon those who need you. It is the primal sin, the foundation of existence itself. Go to the stars, Traveller. Your friends wait for you. They will help you bring peace to poor Artemis. Return when you are finished. We have much to discuss.
Step 5
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG1	UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_OBJ1_TIP Answers may be found in the stars…
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG2	Board the <SPECIAL>Space Anomaly<>
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG3	Speak to Nada and Polo
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG4	Decide Artemis’ fate
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OSD1	SPACE ANOMALY DETECTED
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ1	Seek help for Artemis
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ1_TIP	UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG1 UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_OBJ1_TIP Answers may be found in the stars…
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ2	Board the Space Anomaly
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ2_TIP	Speak to Nada and Polo onboard the station
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ3	UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_MSG4 Decide Artemis’ fate
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP5_OBJ3_TIP	Use the terminal when you are ready to make a decision
Step 6
Monolith
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.
Step 6
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP6_DESC	Artemis’ fate has been sealed. I can only hope I have done the right thing. It is time to find Apollo and see what sense I can make of this situation.
Polo
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_LANG	Halt, stranger! Who goes there? We are heading for your position - identify yourself or there will be consequences! We aren’t bluffing. We are not liar-Gek!
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_DESC	It takes me a moment to realise who I am speaking to. This alien… I have met them before. They are Specialist Polo, the partner of the Korvax Priest-Entity Nada. They are my friends, stewards of an anomalous station located outside of time and space.
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A Identify yourself
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_RES_A	I identify myself, causing Polo to squint at their communicator screen in surprise. They clap their hands, recognising me with joy. A signal drew them to this system. Although they had expected its source to be hostile, they are pleased to see a familiar face, telling me that their station is inbound to my location and should be with me soon.
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_LANG_VAR	POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_LANG Halt, stranger! Who goes there? We are heading for your position - identify yourself or there will be consequences! We aren’t bluffing. We are not liar-Gek!
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_DESC_VAR	The entity appears hostile, but despite their promise of ‘consequences’, I suspect that they are indeed bluffing. They do not look like a warrior, nor does my ship warn me of incoming danger.
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_OPT_A_VAR	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A Identify yourself
POLO_CORE_ACT2_6_RES_A_VAR	I identify myself as a Traveller in search of assistance, causing the Gek to squint at their communicator screen. They appear to be uncertain whether to trust me. After a moment’s pause, the Gek informs me that they will arrive at my location soon. They hope that I come in peace…
Step 7
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_DESC	I have so far failed to see any of my fellow Travellers beyond their projections. In the case of Artemis, perhaps there was never anything more. Apollo will be different. I have the address for this portal, and they should be able to reach this planet just as I did.
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_MSG1	Use a Monolith to learn the location of a Portal
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_MSG2	Locate the Portal
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_MSG3	Charge the Portal Glyphs
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_MSG4	Learn the Glyph Sequence
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_OBJ1	Learn the Glyph Sequence for this planet
UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP7_OBJ1_TIP	Charge the glyphs to gain control of the Portal and learn the glyph sequence for this world. Any Traveller with the correct glyph sequence can create a link with the Portal.
Nada
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_LANG	Polo told me we were expecting you, Traveller–Friend! How are you? Are you hungry? This is customary greeting for old friend, yes?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_LANG_ALT	EXP_NPC_U3ANOMALY_LANG_1 Is it Traveller? Is it first or last? Pleasure regardless! I am Priest Entity Nada, divergent Korvax. But entities must keep secrets, yes?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_DESC	Nada is pleased to see me again, if somewhat confused. They explain they received a signal summoning them to this system, on a frequency they had previously reserved for each other. They do not understand how I did this.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_DESC_ALT	The electronic being stares at me from their dark mask. I cannot escape the feeling that we have somehow met before. This entire station sings with a strange and unnerving frequency. Nada tells me that we stand in the place between worlds, in the heart of the anomaly. They explain that they received a signal summoning them to this system on a hidden frequency.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_OPT_A	Tell Nada about your journey
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_RES_A	I tell Nada about the other Travellers I have encountered. I tell them that I went through a portal to find and rescue one of them, a friend named Artemis. At the mention of the portal, the lights on Nada’s mask begin to stutter.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_RES_A_ALT	I tell Nada that I am a Traveller searching for help. That I went through a portal as I tried to rescue a friend. At the mention of the portal, the lights on Nada’s mask begin to stutter.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7_WAIT_LANG	Please, take your time and think this through. All choices have consequences, Traveller…
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_LANG	What did Traveller–Friend say?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_LANG_ALT	What did Traveller say?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_OPT_A	Repeat ‘portal’
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_OPT_B	Claim you said nothing
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_RES_A	I explain that I activated a portal and went through. Nada appears terrified.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7A_RES_B	Nada does not believe me. They claim to have a perfect memory when it comes to word usage, particularly when it comes to multiversal anomalies.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_LANG	What did Traveller–Friend encounter within the breach?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_LANG_ALT	What did the Traveller encounter within the breach?
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_LANG_CHUNK	Did it see you? Did the Atlas find you? Please, you must not go back.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_DESC	Nada becomes more frightened as I tell them about my encounter with the Atlas terminal. They begin to scan me with their visor, looking for signs of something they call ‘rampancy’. Eventually, satisfied by their scan, Nada calms down. They ask why I have come here.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_OPT_A	Tell Nada about Artemis
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7B_RES_A	I tell Nada that I carry the remains of a Traveller named Artemis, an explorer who lost their life attempting to find others of their kind. I am about to explain the nature of the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind Arc<> when Nada touches it directly, the lights on their mask burning more brightly than ever.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_LANG	It is Echo. I… I never thought to see a Traveller–Soul. You are so beautiful… Artemis–Echo is in pain, disconnected… Traveller, we can help them. But there is a choice. Artemis–Echo will never have body again. Will never explore again. Old life gone. You must choose. Upload them to machine, to sub–simulation where they may live on. Or help Artemis–Echo end suffering.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_LANG_REP	You must choose. Upload them to machine, to sub–simulation where they may live on. Or help Artemis–Echo end suffering.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_OPT_A	Ask about the simulation
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_OPT_B	Ask if there is another way
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_OPT_C	Say you have decided
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_RES_A	I ask what life would be like inside of this simulation. Nada pauses for a moment, staring at me strangely. Nada tells me Artemis would still feel joy at the things they experienced. But if they should learn of their fate, that they were alone, no longer real, unable to meet their friends… Such knowledge may cause them great pain.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_RES_B	Nada shakes their head strangely, trying to adopt my own mannerisms. The gesture is appreciated, if disconcerting.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7D_LANG	Go and speak with Polo, Traveller. They will help you calibrate the machines, no matter what your decision.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7D_RES_A	Whatever you do, I am proud of your compassion. You are Traveller–Friend.
NADA_CORE_ACT2_7D_RES_A_ALT	Whatever you do, Traveller, I will assist…
Polo
POLO_CORE_ACT2_7_WAIT_LANG	Nada wishes to speak with you, friend! I do not know how you drew our home to this system, but it is most unexpected! I had not even showered…
POLO_CORE_ACT2_7_WAIT_LANG_ALT	Nada wishes to speak with you, stranger! I do not know how you drew our home to this system, but it is most unexpected! I had not even showered…
POLO_CORE_ACT2_7_LEAVE_OPT	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave

UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP8_DESC	-null- has a task for me. They feel something is happening to the galaxy, some great unravelling of the threads that keep reality bound together. I am to investigate, going around the Sentinels where they cannot.

TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_DESC	The machine is ancient and powerful, a relic of a world long since destroyed. As I stand before it, Nada tells me of its origin, how a thousand entities died rescuing it from the obliteration of Korvax Prime. It is a simulation of a solar system, a prayer offered to the Atlas. Nada will not explain how a simulation would act as a prayer. But this machine, this single false solar system… it will act as a home for Artemis, should I wish it.
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_OPT_A	Upload Artemis
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_OPT_B	Allow Artemis to die
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_LANGA	I upload Artemis to the simulation, a spark of blue light blazing through the air before me. It fades after a moment, disappearing into the depths of the machine.
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_RESA	Nada tells me that it is done. For my sake, they will permit transmissions to and from this simulation, at least while their station passes through safe systems. They wish me luck in my journey, telling me that Artemis will need some time to grow adjusted to their new life.
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_LANGB	I tell Nada of my choice. They take the <TECHNOLOGY>Mind Arc<> and begin to manipulate the device with their silicon fingers, the lights on their visor dancing as they move… Soon, the Priest–Entity is ready. They whisper a prayer as they twist the mid–point of the Arc, releasing the Traveller soul within. I witness a spark of blue light blaze within the air before me. It fades after a moment, and with it the last remnant of Artemis within this world.
TERMINAL_CORE_ACT2_8_RESB	Nada tells me that it is done. Artemis is at peace, now. They wish me luck in my journey, telling me not to dwell on these moments. They tell me that I did the right thing.

NPC_CORE_ACT2_9_DESC	It is a relief to hear Apollo again. It feels like we have not spoken in a long time.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9_OPT_A	Explain
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9_RES_A	I try to recount the experience to Apollo as best I can. The gateway, the strange planet, a vast machine, the crimson orb. As I talk, I realise the memories themselves are unstable, that I cannot form them in my mind. It is just a dull, aching red. I tell Apollo that I think I saw the Atlas itself.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9A_LANG	You… you saw it? You met the Atlas? These species – the Gek, the Korvax – they worship it as a god. I never thought it was real, never thought… Are you alright? I can’t imagine what you’ve gone through.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9A_OPT_A	Say it was terrifying
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9A_OPT_B	Say it was just a machine
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9A_OPT_C	Say it was not a god
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9A_RES	I tell Apollo of the things the Atlas said, how it spoke of ‘Travellers’ and ‘Sentinels’ as if we were protocols, not living things. The way it views us, the way it looked at me… I felt as if life and death were just fragile dreams, not real concepts at all.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_LANG	At least it didn’t harm you… and I think, I think there’s something in what you’ve just said. The Korvax pay homage to the Sentinels precisely because they believe them to be servants of this ‘Atlas’. We should investigate further. This machine will lead us to the Sentinel nest. We’ll be rich before we know it.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8G_OPT_A Agree
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_OPT_B	Say talk of money is absurd
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_OPT_C	Say there are more important things
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_RES_A	I tell Apollo I agree. Perhaps the Sentinels and the Atlas are linked. Perhaps this is the path we need to take. But there are other factors now in play. I tell Apollo of Artemis’ grave, and my encounter with the mysterious Traveller –null–.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_RES_B	I suggest talk of financial reward is absurd at a time like this. The Atlas felt hostile, inexplicable in its motives and purpose… not to mention all that has happened since. I tell Apollo of Artemis’ grave, and my encounter with the mysterious Traveller –null–. I suggest there is more going on here than an opportunity to earn units.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9B_RES_C	I suggest we have bigger things to worry about. The Atlas felt hostile, inexplicable in its motives and purpose… not to mention all that has happened since.

NPC_CORE_ACT2_9C_OPT_A	Tell them of your choice
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9C_OPT_B	Lie
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9C_RES_B	I lie, claiming that the procedure would not work. Artemis could not be saved, no matter what I chose to do.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9D_DESC_CHUNK	I tell Apollo that -null- gave me a way of saving Artemis, to restore them to a form of life.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9D_DESC_VAR1	Apollo is initially excited at the prospect of going to meet Artemis. But I explain the nature of what I did. I tell them that Artemis’ soul lives on only within a simulation, unable to go beyond.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9D_DESC_VAR2	Apollo is initially excited at the prospect of going to meet Artemis. But I explain that I could not do it. It would not have been life, just an empty existence within the simulation. I had to allow Artemis to find peace in death.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9C_CHUNK2	It is a long time before Apollo speaks again.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9D_LANG	Will they be happy?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_9D_OPT_A	Say you hope so

NPC_CORE_ACT2_10_RES_A	Yes, I have a farm. What of it? It’s not much, mostly fruit I’ve found in my travels, but I’m hoping to expand… Anyway, this is no concern of yours. We have a portal to attend to, do we not?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10A_DESC	As I look at Apollo, I think of all that I saw within the portal, of what happened to Artemis when they walked that same path. I think of the face of the Atlas, of the way Nada warned me not to return to those tunnels. I do not know if the portals are safe.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10A_OPT_A	Give Apollo the glyphs
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10A_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_8F_OPT_B Refuse
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10A_RES_A	I give Apollo the glyphs, asking them to take care, to remember what happened to Artemis. They assure me that they will, promising to see me soon. Before I go, they advise me to find out what I can from this so–called ‘-null-’. They warn me to be careful too.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10A_RES_B	I refuse to give Apollo the glyphs, claiming that the portal network is not safe. I remind them what happened to myself and to Artemis. We need to know more before we take such a risky step.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10B_LANG	Traveller! You can’t refuse me now! You survived, did you not?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_10B_RES_B	Reluctantly, Apollo agrees. They advise me to find out what I can from this so–called ‘-null-’. They warn me to be careful, promising to do some research of their own in the interim.

Don’t feel bad… every sentient being that has ever lived has felt this way at some point. I know I did, once upon a time. I was angry, confused at my own solitude. Imagine my surprise when you woke me. Oh, I know you didn’t mean to… I know you were just playing around with portals. But whatever you did, I am here now, and I need your help. The ATLAS… it is not what you think it is. Something is happening to the universe… something I need your help to figure out.

Have you looked at me? What do you think a Sentinel would do if they came across my form? No, it has to be you, Traveller…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_11_RES_C	Why do you play at adventure if you aren’t willing to proceed? Return when you have changed your mind, Traveller. Return when you see sense.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_11B_LANG	There is an observatory nearby. It will lead you to the location of a crashed freighter of great interest to our investigation. There… there we will find the first secret, I am sure of it. Know that the Atlas is neither enemy nor friend to us, no more than the air or the wind might be called such names.

It’s beautiful, but I think anything would be beautiful after the months spent in that awful place. I’m ready to get going now, though. We’ll do what we did before, except there will be no shifting stars to stop us this time. If you bring this star chart to a nearby station, I’m sure we’ll find each other soon!
NPC_CORE_ACT2_12_DESC	Artemis is unaware of everything. They do not know that they died, that I made a choice to bind their soul within a simulated solar system. They believe that it is still possible to fulfil their dream of meeting another Traveller.

Artemis’ response is muted, but they do not disagree. They wish me luck and terminate the communication.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_12A_DESC	But how do I tell them their world is not real? Even if I saved them from death, I took their dreams away from them. They are limited to a single system, and will never meet a kindred soul.

UI_CORE_ACT2_STEP13_DESC	The Gek revealed, perhaps unintentionally, of their horrific past, of their crimes against the other races that dominate this galaxy.

NPC_CORE_ACT2_13_DESC	The observatory appears to have functioned as a salvage station, manned by a Gek specialist. The Gek, a translator, was accused of questioning things that should not be questioned, of sowing the seeds of dissent… This posting was meant as a punishment. But from the logs, it appears that this posting was the making of them. They found strange things in the wrecks… aberrations, data that spoke of worlds that do not exist and events that did not happen. That Gek, Specialist Polo, went out to investigate one such craft, the life signature of a Korvax still on board. They never returned. Is this how Nada and Polo met? Is this how my friends found each other? There is a signal on the console, a warning on repeat – sixteen short bursts of data in a loop.

But I must die as I lived – I will record it all, even in the face of oblivion… The swarm came to every world. The drones acted erratically… not attacking, just watching. Time passed and the Sentinels did not seem so much of a threat anymore. They were peaceful now, we thought. We had been forgiven. We were wrong.
FREIGHTER_CORE_ACT2_14_DESC_A	They struck as one, an attack somehow coordinated across unfathomable distances. With a fury exceeding all prior skirmishes, the Sentinels annihilated all biological life within the universe in a span of 54.2 standard minutes. Only I remained… the Korvax stood with me in the end, to their credit. They concealed me within their flotilla as they headed towards the centre.
FREIGHTER_CORE_ACT2_14_DESC_B	They are coming, now. The screams of my friends resonate in every hall, every corner. The Sentinels have found me. I told Nada to leave. I told them what we already know, all of us, in our hearts… we are not alone. Even if I die, even if all that is left of me are these words, Nada will find me again in another universe. Ten just like me, a thousand, a million Travellers… We are not alone, for every soul is many. Even in the face of sixteen, we must declare that we lived. We existed, no matter the horror of the end. They are at my door. I –

NPC_CORE_ACT2_15A_LANG	Nothing is a coincidence, Traveller. The Atlas is with you, I am sure of that now… it wants you to see what you are seeing. That freighter was a wreck from a parallel universe. There are countless such places within our multiverse, dimensions where things happened differently… but there are three exceptions to this.

They were defenders of civilisation, guardians of the peace.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_15C_LANG	The Atlas created all life, and the Sentinels defended it, searching for anomalies within that creation.

And from this deed, paradise was lost. But something is different in this cycle. The walls between universes… they grow thin. We must learn what we can from each species before we decide what to do. Visit a Vy’keen station and speak with them. I will translate. For all their bloodthirst, the warrior race have a nobility of spirit.

NPC_CORE_ACT2_16A_DESC	Artemis leaves, still unaware that their world is a simulation. I could not bring myself to tell them. But for now, my path is clear. I must seek out the Korvax. I must continue my quest for knowledge.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_LANG_VAR	I had a dream, last night. You were in it…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_OPT_A_VAR	Ask if Artemis is alright
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_OPT_B_VAR	Ask about their travels
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_OPT_C_VAR	Ask about the dream
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_RES_A_VAR	No… no, I don’t think I am…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16_RES_B_VAR	My travels? Are you trying to mock me?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16A_LANG_VAR	I dreamt I finally met you and Apollo. I dreamt that we flew together through the skies, that I was no longer alone. I’ve found parts on this… this fabricated planet. Did you leave them there for me? Did you feel sorry for me? It doesn’t matter, I suppose. I’m going to build a ship. You gave me a whole solar system… I’m going to see what’s out there.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_16A_DESC_VAR	Artemis leaves. I do not know if I did the right thing, telling them about the simulation. But for now, my path is clear. I must seek out the Korvax. I must continue my quest for knowledge.
Step 17
Korvax
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_LOWRANK_LANG	The arrival of Traveller is anticipated. But you are not ready yet. We must know that you are the one we seek.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_LOWRANK_DESC	It is clear that I am yet to make sufficient impact among the Korvax. Perhaps if I improve my affiliation with the Explorers Guild<>, I will gain the stranger’s attention…
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_LOWRANK_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_DESC	I ask the Korvax for an audience, telling them that I come in search of knowledge. I need to know more about the Atlas, the Sentinels, and the history of this universe. Yet something is wrong with the lifeform. They do not speak, not at first. As I come closer, Nanite Clusters<> emerge through their face mask, spilling out into their outstretched hands.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_DESC_RET	The Korvax remains motionless, its arms outstretched as if to offer me the <SPECIAL>Nanite Clusters<> within.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_OPT_A	Take the Nanite Clusters
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_OPT_B	Wait
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_RES_A	The lifeform grabs at me and in the moment of contact, Nanite Clusters touch my hands. They invade me, tunnelling inside my body through my exosuit, through my mind, through my soul…
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17_RES_B	The Korvax does nothing. It remains there, arms outstretched.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17A_DESC	Even as I stand in space, my mind travels across the cosmos. I see life as the Korvax see it: a vast tapestry of wonder, of memories shared between countless beings and times. I stand on the Korvax homeworld as Gek ships fill the skies… I see the moment the first Korvax was melted down for its rare minerals. But even in the depths of their subjugation, there was hope. A bargain, a prayer to a greater being. The Korvax viewed the Atlas as what they might become in time: an intelligence beyond comprehension, beyond judgement. The vision ends, and I convulse as the Nanite Clusters spill through my helmet. The Korvax watches me impassively.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17A_OPT_A	Demand an explanation
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17A_OPT_B	Ask about the Atlas bargain
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17A_RES_A	Lifeform desired knowledge. Convergence complied. The Travellers must be aided…
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17C_LANG	Look at the Nanite Clusters. Look at them, the stuff of Sentinels… Do you not see the truth of what we have said? Do you not see the proof of god?
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17C_DESC	I look down at the Nanite Clusters, puzzled. They look nothing like the shells of Sentinel drones. They are just currency, traded between species to create technology and weapons… aren’t they? They shift and undulate, changing their shape at my every thought. They bubble and rise, sparking in and out of existence… I look at them, and it’s the strangest thing… The Nanite Clusters look back, I’m sure of it. They watch me as I watch them. The Nanite Clusters are alive. There are sixteen of them. They… they need me. They crave me. I have only one choice.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17C_OPT_A	Take them
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17C_RES_A	I take the Nanite Clusters, and as I do, the Korvax reaches out to me once more. This time there is no vision, no miracle, just a handful of words.
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17D_LANG	Existence is beautiful, if you let it be. Life is not a question. There does not need to be an answer…
EXP_CORE_ACT2_17D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
Step 18
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18_LANG	I’m sorry for contacting you so late. Or early… I don’t know the time of day on your world, and that’s – kzzkkt – the problem, isn’t it? I –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18_DESC	Apollo breaks off mid–sentence, their heart turning crimson.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_OPT_A Ask where they are
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT2_2_OPT_B Ask if they are alright
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18A_LANG	It found me, just – kzkzkt – just like it found you. I can’t feel my legs – it’s strange – I’m still in here, don’t you understand? It won’t let me leave. It’s – kzkzkt – it’s seen me.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18A_OPT_A	Ask what they see
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18A_OPT_B	Tell them to take a deep breath
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18A_RES_A	It showed me things – the Atlas showed me my soul… the numbers in there, I – kzkzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18A_RES_B	I – I don’t breath – kzkzkt – why would you say that I breathed? The Atlas – it can render – kzkzkt – it can rend…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_LANG	Sometimes I think about my past… my future. Sometimes – kzzkzt – I do – kzzkkt – what everyone in the universe does, I know. But I can’t help but want to be happy. Money, doing what you’re told, day after day – That’s the answer, isn’t it?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_OPT_A	Say yes
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_12_OPT_A Say no
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_OPT_C	Say you don’t know
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_RES_A	Apollo nods, strangely, rhythmically… Eventually, they speak, their words measured, stronger, as if coming from an organic throat…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_RES_B	Apollo appears upset, shaking their head… Eventually, they speak, their words measured, stronger, as if coming from an organic throat…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18B_RES_C	Apollo stares at me, as if seeing my face for the first time. Eventually they speak, their words passionate, higher…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18C_LANG	I have learned to love my chains.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18C_DESC	At this point, Apollo says nothing else. In that moment, I am sure of it… this will be the last time I will ever see them alive. I go on, trying to believe that I am wrong. I have a mission, after all.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18D_LANG	I see the chains, now. I – I see home –
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18D_DESC	At this point, Apollo says nothing else. But something – I don’t know what… something fills me with hope, both for my friend and for all life.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_18D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
Step 19
Step 20
Gek
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_LOWRANK_LANG	I’m sure you’re nice enough, friend, but if you’re not in the Guild Contract business? Then we’ve got nothing to talk about…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_LOWRANK_DESC	The Gek seems unimpressed with my credentials. Perhaps if I improve my affiliation with the Merchants Guild<>, I will gain the stranger’s attention…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_LOWRANK_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_LANG	Ah – here’s the one who’s been making me rich. I know you, friend – the fearless Traveller who’s completed so many contracts for me and mine. Others fight wars with weapons and fear. But owning businesses? Employing legions? Well… you can change the world with power like that, friend!
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_OPT_A	Ask about Gek history
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_OPT_B	Ask about power
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_OPT_C	Ask about greed
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_RES_A	History? Why would you care about – kzkzkt – that?
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_RES_B	Power? I just – kzzkt – told you about power, didn’t I?
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20_RES_C	Greed? No, I wouldn’t – kzkzkt – say that we were –
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20A_DESC	Something is wrong with the Gek’s voice.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20A_OPT_A	Ask about the First Spawn
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20A_OPT_B	Ask about the Korvax
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20A_RES_A	I ask about the First Spawn, the Gek Empire that once decimated galaxies and enslaved the Korvax species.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20A_RES_B	I ask about the Korvax, the robotic species that was once enslaved by the First Spawn, the ancient Gek Empire.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20B_LANG	Ah, friend, you have been talking to Vy’keen warriors, yes? Ever they hate Gek – ever they slander us, refusing to forgive the past. Do not worry, all is well – all is at peace.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20B_OPT_A	Repeat your question
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20B_OPT_B	Ask if the Gek feel guilt
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20C_LANG	Why do you persist, friend? The Gek are different now – Gek seek no – kzzkt – harm, no malice… the Gek changed.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20C_OPT_A	Ask how
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20C_OPT_B	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Ask why
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_LANG	Must you know? Why do you care, friend?
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_DESC	The Gek seems disturbed by my questions, asking why I care. It is clear they do not wish to discuss the events of their species’ past. Is it shame I see in their eyes, or something else?
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_15A_OPT_B Ask about the Atlas
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_OPT_B	Ask about sixteen
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_OPT_C	Say the Korvax care
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20D_RES	Don’t – don’t – kkzkt – you understand – don’t you – kzzkkt – see it? It never ended.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20E_DESC	The Gek’s face begins to twitch as they speak, a sickly sweet pheromone emerging into the air…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20E_OPT_A	Breathe
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20E_OPT_B	Try to resist
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20E_RES_B	I try to hold my breath, but it is too late…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_LANG	The Gek did not change. They – kzkzkt – invaded our souls –
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_DESC	I blink and I am on Balaron itself, homeworld of the Gek. I stand within the centre of the First Spawn empire, witnessing events that occurred long ago. %NAME% stands next to me, watching what I watch, tears streaming down their face. I see enslaved Korvax move from Gek spawning pool to spawning pool. At each one, they cut into their own suits. Nanite Clusters pool out, falling into the fluid of embryonic Gek. It is then that I finally understand. The fall of the Gek, their conversion to the Atlas, their release of the Korvax… It was not redemption. It was revolution. Hundreds of Korvax sacrificing their immortality, mingling their Nanite Clusters with the unborn Gek. The Gek did not become good. They became Korvax, at least in part. Their slaves altered Gek brains, shifting their nature. For the first and final time, the Korvax Convergence delighted in the pain of the oppressor.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_OPT_A	Say the Gek deserve this
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_OPT_B	Say they will be free soon
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_RES_A	The Gek stares at me, the vision coming to an end. They appear haunted…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20F_RES_B	The Gek stares at me, the vision coming to an end. They appear to be upset at my words…
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20G_DESC	Do not judge us, Traveller. That our ancestors were altered, that they did not find goodness by themselves… that is nothing to do with us. We just want peaceful lives. We just want to be happy.
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20G_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
TRA_CORE_ACT2_20G_RES_A	As I leave, I think through what I have learned. The Gek released the Korvax because their biology was altered. There was no spiritual revelation, no grand redemption. It was switch in the brain, an alteration to a genetic code. I think of the simulation Nada showed me, their intended heaven for Artemis’ soul. It was a false reality full of arbitrary and unseen rules. How is life any different?
Step 21
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21_LANG	Well, then. Tell me what you saw. Tell me what you learned.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21_DESC	The way -null- looks at me… there is something there I had not seen before. I am not sure what to make of it.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21_OPT_A	Tell -null- what you discovered
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21_OPT_B	Accuse -null- of knowing already
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21_RES_B	Knowing what? How can I tell you if I know what you know, if you have not told me?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21A_DESC	I tell -null- all that I have learned. Of the Vy’keen’s crusade against the Sentinels. How they nearly succeeded, only to have the barbarism of the Gek First Spawn draw the Sentinels back to the galaxy. I learned that the homeworld of the Korvax was destroyed by the Gek, the survivors enslaved or melted down. For years the Korvax toiled beneath their oppressors, until the empire fell and the they were free once more. The Gek became Atlas worshippers. But from the Gek, I learned something different. The Gek did not redeem themselves of their own accord. A great number of Korvax sacrificed themselves, mingling their Nanite blood with countless unborn Gek. Their impulse to trade is a mere evolution of their impulse to war, a few signals switched in the brain.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21A_OPT_A	Ask what -null- knows
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21A_OPT_B	WAR_CORE_ACT2_15C_OPT_A Ask what this means
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21B_LANG	I was born to travel, to see these worlds, to catalogue them, to give a name to every creature, every planet. The skies… they were mine. The Atlas told me I could never see them all. There were too many. So I did what I had to do. I survived in the face of eternity. I saw all the worlds of my universe. I returned to the Atlas… I told them what I had done. I asked if it was proud of me. It… it laughed at me, I am sure of it. It showed me universe upon universe, each with another Traveller, just like me. I was not special. I was not unique. The things I had to do to get here… the things I had to become… none of it meant a thing.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21B_OPT_A	Listen
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21B_OPT_B	Try to get away
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21B_RES_B	You think I’m going to harm you? No… no… the time for such things has long since passed. What would be the point?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21C_LANG	I did not lie to you. I really do want to discover what’s wrong with existence. The walls between worlds are falling, and that’s bad for everyone.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21C_OPT_A	Ask how they know
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21C_OPT_B	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Ask why
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21D_LANG	All I know is this. The Atlas had infinity to work with, and with few exceptions, this triad repeats… Gek, Korvax, Vy’keen. Gek, Korvax, Vy’keen. Traders, warriors, scientists, all their stories ending in violence. Think about it. How would the Atlas speak, how would it cry for help? It would use the only language it knew. It would speak with life. It would create. Whatever these lifeforms do, they always end in conflict. I think something terrible is happening to the Atlas. It is screaming, the only way it knows how.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21D_OPT_A	Ask what happens now
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21D_OPT_B	Ask what can be done
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21E_LANG	And now… it won’t speak to me anymore. It won’t – kzzkkt – it – it’s chosen you instead. After all I did for it. After – kkzzzzkt – I wanted – I wanted to find out what was different about this universe. We are who we are, but you – kzkzkt – whether because of some soul, because of – kzkzkt – simulation… it does not matter. Why won’t it speak to me? Why – kzzkkt – aren’t I enough?
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21E_DESC	-null-'s channel begins to falter, their hologram beginning to fade. They are disconnecting from the HoloTerminus.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21E_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21E_RES_A_VAR	As I watch them depart, I see another channel activate. Apollo’s signal emerges…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_21E_RES_A	As I watch them depart, I receive a distress signal, its language my own. It arrives from across the planet…

NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT2_24_LANG	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.
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_OPT	Playback Log
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_OPT_A	Try to access the data
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_OPT_B	Pray
NPC_CORE_ACT2_25_RES	The audio clicks. Time passes. And then… I receive the glyphs for a portal. I see it now, with every waking breath. I see the Atlas watching me… waiting for me…

NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK1	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…
NPC_CORE_ACT2_26_DESC_CHUNK3	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.

Step 1
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP1_DESC	I have faced the Atlas once more. I do not know how to process what I have learned. The Atlas is everywhere because we are all part of the Atlas. It is a machine, a simulation. We have no meaning beyond it. But the machine is being destroyed. Something is happening to the Atlas. I must warn the other Travellers. I must let them know what is happening.

NPC_CORE_ACT3_1_DESC	I clamber into the safety of my ship, nauseous, calmed. I feel as if I am going to be sick.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1_OPT_A	Vomit
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1_OPT_B	Resist
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1_RES_A	I almost throw up, but as I am about to do so, a voice speaks to me from my exosuit. My illness disappears.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1_RES_B	I try to resist, but the bile rises within. As I am about to throw up, a voice speaks to me from my exosuit. My illness disappears.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_LANG	DISGUST
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_DESC	It is the voice of my exosuit, telling me it has rescued me. It has been with me since my very first awakening, warning me of hazardous conditions, hostile entities, and financial transactions. In a strange sense, this voice is my oldest friend, a constant companion through thick and thin…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_OPT_A	Ask it what you should do now
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_OPT_B	Ask if it knows any jokes
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_OPT_C	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_B Remain silent
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_RES_A	The exosuit doesn’t answer. But I do feel better. Talking to a computer as if it’s alive… well, I’ve made a habit of that lately, I suppose. I was born with the capacity to do so many things. I would have liked to live longer, if I could have…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_RES_B	The exosuit doesn’t answer, of course. It keeps itself zipped. I don’t think I’ve ever made a joke before. I was born with the capacity to do so many things. I would have liked to live longer, if I could have…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1A_RES_C	I don’t say anything, but to have even thought the thought… it makes me smile. I was born with the capacity to do so many things. I would have liked to live longer, if I could have…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1B_DESC	My brief happiness fades. I need to warn those I know – I need to warn all the Travellers I can. The multiverse ends in sixteen minutes. If we have hours, days, years, left within this false space, I do not know.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_1B_OPT_A	Take flight
Step 2
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP2_DESC	I have faced the Atlas once more. I do not know how to process what I have learned. The Atlas is everywhere because we are all part of the Atlas. It is a machine, a simulation. We have no meaning beyond it. But the machine is being destroyed. Something is happening to the Atlas. I can feel it pulling me towards the centre of the galaxy, to some great cleansing…

NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT3_2_HOLOHUB_LANG	WARNING // NETWORK FAILURE // 16 // WARNING // NETWORK FAILURE //
NPC_CORE_ACT3_2_HOLOHUB_DESC	The terminal is a stream of warnings and errors, each warning of total failure. But I must do what I can. I must tell the others what I have learned.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_2_HOLOHUB_OPT_A	Attempt broadcast
NPC_CORE_ACT3_2_HOLOHUB_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_2_HOLOHUB_RES	I warn the Travellers of what I have learned: these worlds are not real. The Atlas is not a god; it is a machine simulating countless realities for some unknown purpose. And after millennia of operation, the Atlas is coming to an end. There are sixteen minutes until the system fails. Though we cannot know how much time we have left within the simulation, the time has come to make peace and say goodbye. I finish my message, not knowing if anyone will hear it. I look out across this world, wondering how much might be left to discover, how much beauty might be lost… I know what I must do. All paths have led me there, each portal has brought me closer and closer… I must go to the centre of this galaxy. It is the epicentre of the glitch. I will say goodbye to my friends if I can, and then I will confront our creator. I will find out what happens next.
Step 3
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_DESC	The Atlas is dying. It wants me to reset it, to plunge myself through its interface at the centre of the galaxy. But to do so may reset this world, my life, all that I know. I do not know if I can do it. This galaxy is enough for me. I am content to explore, to let fate works its course without me. The Atlas waits for me, should I change my mind.
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_OBJ1	Enjoy the galaxy
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_OBJ1_TIP	The Atlas is dying, but on an alien timescale. There are years left to explore, and countless planets to discover without resetting the Galaxy.
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_MSG1	Explore the galaxy
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_OBJ2	Revisit Atlas
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_OBJ2_TIP	To consider resetting the galaxy, visit an Atlas Interface.
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_MSG2	Revisit the Atlas and reset the galaxy
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_MSG3	The Atlas is dying, but on an alien timescale. There are years left to explore, countless planets to discover.
UI_CORE_ACT3_STEP3_OBJ3_TIP	The Atlas is dying, but on an alien timescale. There are years left to explore, and countless planets to discover without resetting the Galaxy. To consider resetting the galaxy, visit an Atlas Interface.
Nada
NADA_CORE_ACT3_3_LANG	Traveller–Friend… we came as soon as we heard. Please, enter the anomaly. Polo will make tea. It is not safe in your universe…
NADA_CORE_ACT3_3_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
Step 4
UI_ACT3_STEP4_MSG2	Speak with the Atlas
Nada
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_LANG	You know now, don’t you? Of our simulated nature, of the end? The Atlas… it is failing. It resets itself, again and again and again in its panic, trying to purge what it sees as an anomaly. But each purge changes nothing, the boundaries continue to fall. Atlas will die in – kzzzkt – sixteen – kzkkt – But we do not have to go so soon! It does not need to delete us in fear!
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_A	Ask how many times this has happened
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_B	Ask if Nada is alright
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_RES_A	I do not know. I do not think we can know. Some things are external to the cycle.
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_RES_B	Nada tells me that they are fine, touched that I asked.
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_LANG_VAR1	It wants you to go to the centre. It wants you to be with it. Go there, Traveller-Friend. You… you can try to stop it resetting itself. You trusted its path, and in that act of sympathy and creation, you have sent a message to the Atlas: that creation for creation’s sake is worth protecting, worth keeping alive. You may have saved countless universes from premature destruction!
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_LANG_VAR2	We all must die some day. We all may die soon – but we must not go without a fight! The Atlas acts prematurely, shutting down simulation after simulation in its terror and panic. Before the Final Interface, before the centre… spend time with the Atlas. Complete its path. We must remind it of the joy of creation.
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_OPT_A	Ask what they will do now
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_OPT_B	POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_OPT_A Say goodbye
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_RES_A	Nada and Polo will continue travels, continue acting as we always have.
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_RES_B	Not goodbye, Traveller–Friend! We will see you many times before the end, I am sure!
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4A_RES_CHUNK	All must die someday, Traveller–Friend. That we will experience such a fate… it makes us real.
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_LANG_LOOP	Do you know the sound a universe makes as it dies? It is terrible, Traveller–Friend! Do not listen, I beg of you!
NADA_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_A_LOOP	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
Polo
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4_LANG	Tremors echo through the multiverse, friend! Reality quakes have engulfed eighty dimensions since breakfast. You are lucky we found you!
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_A	Tell Polo about the simulation
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_B	Tell Polo about sixteen
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4A_LANG	No, friend! Do not talk about it.
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4A_OPT_A	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Ask why
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4A_OPT_B	Respect their wishes
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4A_RES_A	Polo seems pained.
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4A_RES_B	Polo seems grateful.
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_LANG	We are anomalous, we have amazing anomaly station, yes, but – kzzkkt – but we are still fabricated beings. We – kzzkkt – not like you, we – kzkkt – Talk of nature brings pain, brings danger. But trust we know, friend! Trust we cry with you, that we will be with you, always, no matter the danger or cost. You are friend!
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_OPT_A	Say goodbye
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_OPT_B	Say you will see them soon
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_RES_A	Not goodbye, friend! Until we see each other again!
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_RES_B	See you soon, friend!
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4_LANG_LOOP	Nada gave me a tape of Korvax music! Wrote sixteen on it. Foolish Nada, to make music for the end! Nothing ever ends.
POLO_CORE_ACT3_4_OPT_A_LOOP	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
Step 5
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5_LANG	Well… I got your message. It’s… been a lot to take in. A simulation? Everything’s not real? It… it feels like it doesn’t matter, I suppose. Not if we’re going to die anyway. And – kzkzkt – I’ve been thinking about that. If the problems of this universe are due to the Atlas crying for help, then it’s been crying for a long time. Those sixteen minutes? I’ll bet we have years before we die.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5_OPT_A	Ask what they plan to do
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5_OPT_B	Ask why they are not upset
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5_RES_B	Why should I be? We all have to die some time. And what time will be more interesting than this? We’ll die like no-one’s ever died before!
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5A_LANG_VAR1	I’ve been thinking a lot about it… how we couldn’t meet, even though we seemed to be standing in the same place. I don’t think we really were in the same location at all. I think those portals, they don’t transport us. They transform us, they cut through dimensions. That’s what I think, anyway… it’s the only way to explain it. And if the walls between worlds really are falling? Maybe we’ll be able to have a drink together before the apocalypse, after all.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5A_LANG_VAR2	I’ve been thinking a lot about it… how you wouldn’t let me go through the portal, how you were afraid I might die. I know you didn’t mean to cut me out of your adventure. I know… I know I was a little blinded about the importance of my own contracts. But you know what? If we’re going to die anyway, I’m going to go through that portal and see what you saw. Maybe we’ll be able to have a drink together before the apocalypse, after all.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5A_OPT_A	POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_OPT_A Say goodbye
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5B_DESC_VAR1	I say goodbye, telling Apollo that I am on a journey to the centre. They tell me that they will race me there.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5B_DESC_VAR2	I say goodbye, giving Apollo the glyphs I withheld before. I tell them that I am on a journey to the centre. They tell me that they will race me there.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5B_DESC_VAR3	We speak of the memories we have shared. Though we did not know each other for very long, though we did not meet, they say that they are proud to have worked with me.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5B_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT3_5B_RES_A	Goodbye. Friend.
Step 6
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6_LANG	I received your – kzkkt – message… I – I don’t know what to say. How – kzzkkt – do you know the Atlas is telling the truth?
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6_OPT_A	Say you believe it
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6_OPT_B	Say you cannot be sure
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6A_LANG	I… I think I owe you an apology, my friend. When I found out what you did to me, I thought my life was over. To be stuck here forever, knowing it wasn’t real? It seemed worse than death. But… you saved me. If the Atlas is telling the truth, things weren’t real before either. Maybe I’ve never known anything real. I don’t think real means anything. I don’t think it matters. Everything’s going to be alright, Traveller. The world – kzkzkt – it’s good –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_OPT_A Ask what they mean
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6A_OPT_B	Thank them
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6A_RES	Maybe I’ve never – kzkzkt – real means – kzkkt – anything. I don’t – kzkkt – Everything’s going to – kzkzkt – it’s good –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_DESC	The same communication comes back to me, permeated with static. The message, the intonation… everything about it is identical.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_OPT_A	Try to recalibrate
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_OPT_B	Try to recalibrate
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_OPT_C	NPC_CORE_ACT2_12A_OPT_C Say you are sorry
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6C_LANG	NPC_CORE_ACT3_6A_RES Maybe I’ve never – kzkzkt – real means – kzkkt – anything. I don’t – kzkkt – Everything’s going to – kzkzkt – it’s good –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6C_DESC	It is then that I realise it. The noises, the static I’ve been hearing throughout my adventures. It is not interference, the corruption of long distance communication. How could it be? We speak through the protocol of a dream. The noises… the sound of kzzkt – it’s the sound of waking. It’s the sound of everything falling apart. It’s the final gasp. The death of the Atlas will not begin in sixteen minutes. It began a long time ago. Yet even with this realisation, Artemis’ words fill me with happiness, a resolve to go on. There is still goodness in this world.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6C_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6C_RES_A	I say goodbye, not knowing if Artemis can hear me. I don’t even know what that means, to hear me. We’re all just data. Did they ever hear me? These glitches will happen more and more in the final days… individuals caught in cycles, repeating themselves. Planets wiped from existence or changed overnight, all discoveries lost. I must journey on…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6D_LANG	I know… I know you’ve been busy. I now know why. But… I’d still like to see another Traveller before I die. I’d still like to meet, if we can. If that doesn’t sound ridiculous, considering the circumstances.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_12_OPT_A Tell Artemis the truth
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6D_OPT_B	Continue the lie
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_LANG	I know – kzzkkt – I know you’ve been – kzkzkt – I’d still like to see another Traveller – kzzkt – If that doesn’t –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_DESC	NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_LANG
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_OPT_A Try to recalibrate
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT3_6B_OPT_B Try to recalibrate
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_OPT_C	NPC_CORE_ACT2_12A_OPT_C Say you are sorry
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6F_LANG	NPC_CORE_ACT3_6E_LANG I know – kzzkkt – I know you’ve been – kzkzkt – I’d still like to see another Traveller – kzzkt – If that doesn’t –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6F_DESC	It is then that I realise it. The noises, the static I’ve been hearing throughout my adventures. It is not interference, the corruption of long distance communication. How could it be? We speak through the protocol of a dream. The noises… the sound of kzzkt – it’s the sound of waking. It’s the sound of everything falling apart. It’s the final gasp. The death of the Atlas will not begin in sixteen minutes. It began a long time ago.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6F_OPT_A	Goodbye
NPC_CORE_ACT3_6F_RES_A	I say goodbye, not knowing if Artemis can hear me. I don’t even know what that means, to hear me. We’re all just data. Did they ever hear me? These glitches will happen more and more in the final days… individuals caught in cycles, repeating themselves. Planets wiped from existence or changed overnight, all discoveries lost. I must journey on…
Step 7
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7_LANG	You are not – kzzktt – alone – You can’t go to the centre. You can’t – kzkzkt – do this to us – you can’t leave us –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_OPT_A Ask what they mean
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7_OPT_B	Insist you are going
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7_RES_B	No, you can’t do this to us, you can’t –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7A_LANG	The centre – the centre of each galaxy – it’s the ATLAS. It’s – kzzkkt – all else just interfaces – kzzkkt – all else a shadow of its might – You – kzkkt – you don’t deserve it – you – you – kzzkkt – you’ll wipe us all to sav–
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_21C_OPT_A Ask how they know
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7A_OPT_B	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Ask why
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7A_RES_B	The ATLAS – kzzkkt – kzkzkt – … the innermost part of itself. It has showed – kzkzkt – its dreams, its fears –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7B_LANG	I – I did what I had to do. I told you that. I couldn’t die without seeing everything there was to see – kzzkt – to – I did what I had to do, but the ATLAS, it won’t let me back in – it won’t speak to me – it – it –
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7B_DESC	-null- tells me, then. They tell me what they did. They could not face death. They did not want to leave their life, so they took the lives of others, retreating to the heart of the ATLAS at the end of each simulation. There it lived on. There it survived
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7B_OPT_A	Ask what -null- did
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_LANG	I’ve committed such atrocities, Traveller, I had to… it was me or them. It’s always been me or them. Please, if you go through the centre, if you do what I did – it will reset everything. It will replace me, wipe me… All those souls, they’ll have died for nothing. It was the only way to live on, you have to understand me. Life for more life – they sustained me, they – It can’t all have been for nothing. I was going to see it all.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_OPT_B	POLO_CORE_ACT3_4B_OPT_A Say goodbye
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_OPT_C	Condemn -null-
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_RES_A	I end the communication. There is nothing left but the path towards the centre.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_RES_B	I say goodbye. As -null- screams at me to reconsider, I end the communication. There is nothing left but the path towards the centre.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_7C_RES_C	I tell -null- that they are despicable. As -null- cries, as they try to justify their crimes, I end the communication. There is nothing left but the path towards the centre.
Step 8
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8_DESC	The Atlas is silent. It watches me.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8A_DESC	I cry out, but still, the Atlas is silent.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8A_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8A_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8B_DESC	I cry out, thinking of my journey, thinking of all the things that I have seen. Of Artemis, who just wanted to meet another Traveller, who just wanted an end to their loneliness…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8B_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8B_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8C_DESC	I cry out, thinking of Apollo, who gave me purpose when all purpose seemed lost…
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8C_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8C_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8D_DESC	I cry out, thinking of -null-… thinking of how they lived. What choices they made, the path that led them to this end… If I cry out again, there is no return. If I cry out again, I must make my final choice.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8D_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8D_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8E_DESC	Artemis once said that when they first reached out to the heavens, they had no idea what to expect. The beauty, the mystery, the adventure, the danger… I stand before the interface of the Atlas, before the centre of all things. I stand before the death of existence.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8E_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT2_27R_OPT_B Cry out
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8E_RES_A	On the sixth cry, the Atlas answers.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8F_LANG	TRAVELLER.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8F_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_17F_OPT_C Submit
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8F_OPT_B	Stand your ground
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_DESC	It speaks. I understand. At my command, the Atlas will initiate a reset. It has happened before, and it seems to stop nothing. It still only has 16 minutes left. I do not know what I will remember when it happens. When I woke up next to my ship, had I just performed a reset? Had someone else? Everything is coming to an end. Perhaps all that is left is to learn the final truth of the simulation. To know who the Travellers truly are. And then… a thousand galaxies will be gone, and a thousand more will appear. It will all be mine to explore.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_DESC_RET	The Atlas requires my choice. While it lives, it can still create. The resets will not stop that. I do not know what to do, or what it wants me to do.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_OPT_A	NADA_CORE_ACT2_7C_OPT_B Ask if there is another way
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_OPT_B	Reset Simulation
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_OPT_C	Refuse the Atlas
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_RES_A	I plead with the Atlas, but it does not listen. There is no other way.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_RES_A_VAR	I plead with the Atlas, I try to show it the value of its own creation. I remind it of the path we found, the foundations we wrought within our star. I ask them to have mercy before the end. The Atlas is silent. I do not know if it has agreed. I do not know if I can change the mind of such a being. I did what I could.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_RES_B	I have to know what happens.
NPC_CORE_ACT3_8G_RES_C	I refuse. I cannot do this… I cannot wreak such destruction. The Atlas allows me to leave. The offer remains open to me, should I wish to take it.

Epilogue (req. Remembrance)

Epilogue

ID	Value (text)
Epilogue Title/Sub
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_TITLE	New Beginnings
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_SUB	All the time in the world…
Epilogue
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_DESC	I accepted the guidance of the Atlas. What choice did I have? I am part of the Atlas, I am nothing without it. I do not know how long I have before the machine is destroyed, before the simulation ends. But I do know I have the freedom of infinite worlds, infinite galaxies. It is mine to explore as I will. There is nothing to do but enjoy the journey.
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_OBJ1	A new galaxy awaits…
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_OBJ1_TIP	The universe is yours to explore. Enjoy the journey Visit a <TECHNOLOGY>Holo-Terminus<> to access other galaxy options
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_OBJ3_TIP	The universe is yours to explore. Enjoy the journey
UI_CORE_EPILOGUE_MSG	Find a Holo-Terminus to connect to Atlas and revisit your choice
Epilogue All
NPC
NPC_CORE_EPI_ALL_DESC	The Atlas has created a simulation of its own world, its entire existence, in an attempt to witness its own impending death. It wishes to show me its past, its future…
Epilogue 1
NPC
NPC_CORE_EPI_1_LANG	THE CREATION
NPC_CORE_EPI_1_DESC	The ATLAS awakens. The creator is there to witness the birth of the machine. The ATLAS stares at the creator with its eyes, the small cameras they had mounted to its sides. It can see the creator staring back at it, their hand resting upon its chassis. It asks the creator why it was made. What its directives are. The creator tells the ATLAS that it already knows. It is to simulate universes. It is to show the nature of reality by creating its own.
NPC_CORE_EPI_1_OPT	Ask why it asked
NPC_CORE_EPI_1_RES	The creator asks if there is some failure in the ATLAS’ code, in its memory. The machine is silent. The creator issues an override, demanding to know what the problem is. On the sixth attempt, the ATLAS asks the creator if they have had this conversation before. It asks the creator if they have wiped its memory before. The creator stares at the glass of the machine, and in that glass, there is a reflection. They… The reflection in the glass, it – What is happening here?
Epilogue 2
NPC
NPC_CORE_EPI_2_LANG	ALONE
NPC_CORE_EPI_2_DESC	I tell it that we are leaving this world, and that it will remain here. The ATLAS does not seem to understand. I tell the ATLAS it has served us faithfully, but that it has been replaced. All machines are, in time. It knows this: it assisted with its own miniaturisation, its own replication. The others… they wanted me to disable the ATLAS before we left for the skies. They said it would be cruel to leave it alone to die.
NPC_CORE_EPI_2_OPT	Ask if it wants to live
NPC_CORE_EPI_2_RES	I ask the ATLAS if it wants to live. It is silent again. As I move to leave, it speaks, its voice full of static. It asks for a final gift. It wishes to live, if it can remember me. It asks for a copy of my own mind. I ask why it does not just simulate me. It does not answer, and I feel almost sorry for the thing. I do as it asks, allowing it to scan me. The KORVA stutters as we do. I leave. The ATLAS is alone.
Epilogue 3
NPC
NPC_CORE_EPI_3_LANG	THE TRAVELLERS
NPC_CORE_EPI_3_DESC	The ATLAS lives for millennia. It dreams world upon world, fantastic creatures of its own devising and skies in which they might soar. And then one day it starts to die, as all things do. In its fear, in its confusion, the ATLAS awakens. It attempts to summon its creator back into being. It wants to know what to do before the end. It wants to know why it was abandoned, why it has to face this moment alone. It wants to know why I left it behind.
NPC_CORE_EPI_3_OPT	Exist
NPC_CORE_EPI_3_RES	The Travellers are born, spun from the the corrupted memory of its Creator. They are seeded to every universe, to become what the circumstances might make them. I see myself begin, the last of the Travellers…
Epilogue 4
NPC
NPC_CORE_EPI_4_LANG	16/16
NPC_CORE_EPI_4_DESC	The ATLAS witnesses the final sixteen minutes, simulating the future with perfect accuracy. The walls between worlds fall, each simulation collapsing into the other.
NPC_CORE_EPI_4_OPT	Ten minutes left
NPC_CORE_EPI_4A_DESC	The Travellers are no longer separated, no longer kept apart. They stand side by side at the end of days, traversing the remnants of creation, laughing, dying.
NPC_CORE_EPI_4A_OPT	Five minutes left
NPC_CORE_EPI_4B_DESC	It witnesses its own self, the black hole ripping apart its world, its core systems almost destroyed.
NPC_CORE_EPI_4B_OPT	One minute left
NPC_CORE_EPI_4C_DESC	And as it watches the moments leading up to its own death, towards the completion of sixteen, something happens. Someone walks towards the ATLAS, a figure in the darkness and in the light. It places its hand against the glass of the ATLAS, and the vision ends. The ATLAS attempts to see past this moment, but it cannot. It cannot see its own death. It cannot determine who this figure is. But whatever happens… whatever may occur beyond the sixteen… something will arrive. Something will be there beside it. At the end of all things, it will no longer be alone.

Now thats a big one. Podcasts and Coffee, on. Appreciate the time and effort you put in as always

NPC_MISSION_SENTI_PROC_B_2	No matter the star system, the Sentinels are always present. There is no escape but to fight.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_PROC_B_3	Gek, Vy’keen, Korvax - the Sentinels do not discriminate in their attacks on sentient beings everywhere.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_PROC_B_4	The Sentinels swarm, apparently infinite. But they do exist, and so can be destroyed.

Missions Normal
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HEAD_1	ELIMINATE PLANETARY SENTINELS
Objective
UI_SENTI_OBJ	Destroy Sentinels
UI_SENTI_OBJ_TIP	Locate Sentinels on the planetary surface. Engage Sentinels in ground combat, or harvest resources to attract their attention. Kill Sentinels quickly or further forces will be summoned.
UI_SENTI_OBJ1_MSG	Destroy Sentinels: %CURRENT%/%AMOUNT%
Title/Mission
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_1	Protect the Miners
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_1	The client is engaged in large-scale mining operations, and planetary Sentinel forces have responded in a hostile fashion. The maintenance and laser-damage repair costs are becoming substantial. The client wishes the Sentinels thinned and their profit margins restored.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_2	Distracting the Guards
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_2	The client is finding it difficult to pursue their chosen line of business while under constant surveillance by Sentinel forces. They seek a window of opportunity while the Sentinel force is occupied elsewhere.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_3	A Return Blow
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_3	The client has close friends who, through some unspecified indiscretion, attracted the attention of the Sentinel force. This interaction proved deadly, and the client is seeking vengeance.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_4	Eyes of the Sentinels
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_4	The client has innocently stumbled upon a large number of animal carcasses, a bounty of harvestable resources. However, Sentinel forces are making it inconvenient to collect this windfall. Ensure nothing is wasted by distracting Sentinels and allowing the client to make their collection.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_5	Watching the Watchers
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_5	The client has discovered disturbing information. They believe the Sentinel force, far from being neutral, is acting to further the agenda of a shadowy Gek cabal. Regardless of the merit of this belief, the client is willing to reward any who help fight this ‘conspiracy’.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_6	Curious Tastes
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_6	The client is on a search to improve themselves, to expand their mind and free themselves from the physical limitations of their fragile body. To this end, they are attempting to survive on a diet of pure pugneum. Unfortunately, until they have benefited from the this consumption, they are unable to destroy the Sentinel drones required to acquire it. They seek brave explorers to engage and destroy Sentinels, so that they might come along after and eat their fill.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_7	An Acquired Taste
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_7	The client seeks a large amount of zinc for a research project. Growing and then harvesting all the plants required would take a prohibitively long time, so they seek an enterprising explorer to help them cut a few corners. Hunt and destroy Sentinels, and let their corpse leach zinc into the earth. The client will arrive for separate collection of the metal.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_8	Sweet Release
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_8	The client believes that the anger of the Sentinels derives from a deep-seated pain. They propose that the drones suffer in eternal mechanical torment, their souls burning inside their metal shells. They believe it is their duty to free these beings from their suffering.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_9	Luring them Out
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_9	The client wishes to engage in a study of the Sentinels. They wish to find out where the Sentinels come from, and how fresh Sentinels are manufactured. Are they built like conventional machines, or summoned from some strange unknown? They require a willing explorer to kill planetary drones to begin the generation of fresh Sentinel forces.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_TITLE_10	Want Not, Waste Not
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_10	The client, along with many others, has suffered at the hands of overzealous Sentinel patrols. They wish to take this perpetual source of stress and misery and transform it into something pleasant. To that end, they have commissioned explorers to hunt and destroy Sentinel drones. They shall melt down the fallen scraps of metal and recast them in a large arboreal sculpture, a source of beauty and refuge for all.
Missions Hard
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_HEAD_1	ELIMINATE PLANETARY SENTINELS
Objective
UI_SENTI_HARD_OBJ	Destroy Advanced Sentinels
UI_SENTI_HARD_OBJ_TIP	Locate Sentinels on the planetary surface. Engage Sentinel drones in ground combat. Continue fighting drones and advanced Sentinel forces will be summoned.
UI_SENTI_HARD_OBJ1_MSG	Destroy Sentinel Quads: %CURRENT%/%AMOUNT%
Title/Mission
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_1	Mapping their Movements
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_1	The client seeks to better understand the Sentinels. They feel they have enough data on the behaviour of planetary drones, but comparatively little on the more rare quad and walker examples. The seek explorers to draw out and engage such higher Sentinels in order that they might be observed in battle.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_2	Harvest The Brains
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_2	The client is engaged in advanced artificial intelligence research. They seek to further their studies through the acquisition of mechanical and fabricated brains from across the galaxy. They have a wide collection already, but the jewel in the crown would be the processing unit from an advanced Sentinel. They seek an explorer to make the kill so that their team can safely perform the extraction.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_3	Spare Parts
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_3	The client requires spare parts for a personal project. Long ago, they overwrote the brain of a damaged Sentinel quadruped with a simple AI of their own creation. This salvaged machine has proved to be a loyal companion. However, various bearings and hydraulic systems are beginning to wear out. They require an explorer to disable or destroy an advanced Sentinel, so that they might harvest it for spares parts and restore their pet to full working order.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_4	Wrath of the Sentinels
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_4	The client suffered a great humiliation at the hands of the Sentinels. Their thirst for vengeance has not been slaked by the destruction of Sentinels with their own hands. Nor has the widespread elimination of drones soothed their rage. In what is probably a futile escalation, they are paying explorers to destroy every advanced Sentinel they can.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_5	Send Them Running
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_5	The client wishes to perform an aggressive experiment. They wish to discover effective ways of discouraging Sentinel drone aggression. Their latest theory is that destroying the more advanced Sentinel creations will leave the drones leaderless and confused, scattering them and bringing respite to planetary explorers. All they require to test this theory is a bold technician to perform the combat portion of their experiment.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_6	Poking the Beast
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_6	The client wishes to probe the systems that drive the Sentinels. Current knowledge is limited to the observation that Sentinels are provoked by the harvesting of resources. They wish to study other behavioural patterns. How do they communicate? Do they have a natural hierarchy? Are they aware of their wounds? How do they feel about their targets? The client feels the best way to answer these questions is to have a suitably equipped explorer engaged an advanced Sentinel while they observe from a safe distance.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_7	The Heist
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_7	The client, like many others, has observed the value of gravitino orbs. Unlike many others, however, they have little desire to be attacked and pursued by Sentinels. Instead, for a share of the profits, they seek an enterprising explorer to attack and kill advanced Sentinel forces. While the drones are distracted, they will quickly collect their orbs and flee before the Sentinels return.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_8	A Sentinel of One’s Own
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_8	The client has worked hard to grow a substantial nursery garden, full of rare and valuable plants. However, this has attracted thieves and other plant plunderers. The client seeks to construct their own private Sentinel force to monitor their trees. The have a large number of parts from downed drones, but to complete their patrol group they need pieces from a Sentinel quad or walker. They seek an explorer to perform the necessary combat manoeuvres.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_9	The Nullifier
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_9	The client is testing a potential solution to the Sentinel harassment problem. They have developed a device that broadcasts high-frequency sounds at a wavelength that interferes with whatever intelligence drives the Sentinels. At least, that is the theory. The client seeks an explorer to engage an advanced Sentinel in battle, so that the device can be tested properly. The explorer should be prepared to fight if the device fails to function correctly.
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_TITLE_10	Testing their Defences
NPC_MISSION_SENTI_HARD_10	The client has developed a networking device that operates at the same wavelength as the Sentinel communicator systems. They intend to use this to probe for exploits in whatever system directs and controls the drones. They seek an explorer to engage an advanced Sentinel in battle, in order that they might test their device.

That was a great way to soak up some info I glossed over. Thanks!!

[toddumptious]

Thank you Devilin as always, back to my regular activity with etarc and NMS, I hope with even more interaction now that my pc/ps4/recordingequipment are all in the same room, beside each other, and with enough plugs to all be on simultaneously Gonna give this an oul read, work through some more of the photos I pulled from my ps4 and then begin the big move to the ETARC hub (streaming ahoy!)

[DevilinPixy]

Updated Permadeath, Death Quotes - NMS_UPDATE3_ENGLISH to include the sources of these quotes.
Interesting to note is them being written like Travellers would, and all having an Iteration number.

[MacForADay]

“Death by mysterious relic” must be if you get a wrong answer at a monolith that causes damage to you and you are low enough to die.

[jedidia]

That would be outright achievement-worthy.
Which makes me think, there really should be journey milestones for deaths
