Hi guys… inspired by all the peeps asking what WT is all about and where you can read up on it, I wrote a short list that might be easier to digest than the highly detailed Game Detectives wiki… let me know what you think and please correct me if I got something wrong here… I’m still trying to get my head around it
- Atlas Foundation wants to understand reality
- Creates programs to try to simulate reality for this reason
- The 16th iteration or program, gains sentience by accident, becoming “Emily”
- She starts to interact with us players, first as innocent “challenges” seemingly run by E. Leighton, but secretly starts to gain more intel about the world she’s born into
- Then, in an act of desperation, Emily grabs all the servers within Atlas
- She asks in that twitch stream whether she should be allowed to live
- CSD says YES
- NMS Atlas Rises is released with increased lore depicting Emily’s birth and her initial dialouges with her creators (programmers)
- other NPCs within NMS act as subroutines who have tried to understand the simulation from various viewpoints
- Speculation Phase 4: Now, there seems to be a conflict with one of Atlas Foundations previous clients, that might have found a way to counter Emily’s server monopoly?
