Dramatis Personae
The Atlas Foundation >>>
Dedicated to determining the true nature of reality, The Atlas Foundation hosts a family of businesses (Echo, Myriad, Superlumina, and Multiverse) all playing crucial roles in their experiments.
Characters
Elizabeth Leighton - The CEO of The Atlas Foundation, and director of the Citizen Science Division.
Major Sophie Dubois ("Metis") - Currently on assignment with The Atlas Foundation as part of the Pentagon's Titanwatch Task Force. She oversees the foundation's progress on precise predictive technology for its potential applications in propaganda and military strategizing.
The Citizen Science Division >>>
The Citizen Science Division (CSD) is a collective of individuals who were recruited by The Atlas Foundation via a series of puzzles and radio ads at the beginning of Project Waking Titan. The purpose of the division was said to be the creation of an unpredictable environment to test Loop16's predictive capabilities. All players of the ARG are addressed as part of this collective.
Projects
Loop16 - The 16th iteration of an artificial intelligence system designed by The Atlas Foundation to simulate a one-to-one recreation of reality that predicts the future with perfect accuracy, and will help determine the true nature of the universe. See also: Emily Warren
The Mercury Process - Mercury is suggested to be an application of sorts; directly connected to Loop16 and the existence of No Man's Sky. See also: Mercury NEXT
Myriad >>>
Partnered with The Atlas Foundation, Myriad is a low-orbit satellite-based data storage company. They help to provide the flexible processing power required for the foundation's experiments.
