Season 1

The Atlas Foundation

Dedicated to determining the true nature of reality, The Atlas Foundation hosts a family of businesses (Echo, Myriad, Superlumina, and Multiverse) which all play a crucial role in their experiments.

Characters

Elizabeth Leighton - the CEO of The Atlas Foundation, and director of the Citizen Science Division.

Major Sophie Dubois ("Metis") - on assignment with The Atlas Foundation as part of the Pentagon's Titanwatch Task Force. Dubois worked as an overseer of the foundation's progress on precise predictive technology for its potential applications in propaganda and military strategizing. Following Elizabeth Leighton's death, Sophie Dubois became CEO of The Atlas Foundation.

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 this division was said to be gathering a collective of individuals who could generate a chaotic environment viable to test Loop16's predictive capabilities in. All players of the ARG are addressed as part of the CSD.

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. See also: Emily Warren
