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") - on assignment with The Atlas Foundation as part of the Pentagon's Titanwatch Task Force. She 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 supposed death in an explosion at a Myriad sublocation, Sophie took her place as 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 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 Atlas Foundation's experiments. They are also the host of W/ARE's testing labs.
Known Employees
Julian J. Wong - Help Desk

W/ARE - Dream Better ->>>
Based in Beijing, China, W/ARE is a company which specializes in creating post-VR headsets that allow you to enter virtual worlds within your dreams.
Loop16 has praised W/ARE for their progress on simulated environments. She claims that W/ARE has "tremendous implications for our future"', and pleads that their groundbreaking technology "must be protected at all costs". Loop16 requested aid from The Citizen Science Division in saving the remaining Dreamers from the corruption in Myriad's network, and keeping W/ARE's technological progress from The Atlas Foundation's grasp. Loop16 has also referred to W/ARE under code-name ("Monarch") on several occasions.
The Team
Xiāo Cheung - The Creator, and Founder of W/ARE technology. He claims to have created this technology because of his childhood dream of being able to live within a virtual world.
Huáng Zhìmíng - The CEO of W/ARE. Graduated alongside Xiāo at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China with a Masters in Business.
Zhou Lin & Tang Bo - Lead Developers
Li Dan & Jiang Wei - Lead Game Designers
Related Characters
Arnaud Lacours - The man behind Philo Jeux, a French indie games studio that was developing a game for the W/ARE platform, called The Tablets of Mnemosyne. Production on the game was halted after Arnaud slipped into a coma due to a headset malfunction.
Dr. Geraldine Nadeau - A doctor researching lucid dreaming methods. Geraldine took interest in Arnaud's unusual brain activity during his coma, and took him into her care.
Mr. Zheng - A W/ARE employee who went into hiding after learning about dangerous experiments being conducted on individuals in W/ARE's testing labs. After evading their detection, Zheng intercepted the packages of W/ARE Developer Kits and leaked this intel to its recipients with the help of Dr. Nadeau.
Research Labs
Boston Research Lab / Director: Richard Wilkes
Sacramento Research Lab / Director: Helga Johnson - Determined to be the research lab that was uploading the corrupted data to Myriad.

Mercury NEXT
A game title mentioned in an update to W/ARE's staging server. The fluency between W/ARE's mention of this title, and the Waking Titan terminal's Mercury updates have made it apparent that the Mercury Process is in some way connected to this title. The exact terms of this connection have yet to be fully explained.
