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.

Known Employees

Julian J. Wong - Help Desk

Ethan Rose - Human Resources

Testimonials

Yi Sexton, Inventor

Nikolina Sauvage, Data manager at Abstract Concepts

Tobiah Selby, Developer at Tobiah Selby Development

Satcom >>>

Myriad's Satellite Communications API. Visiting their website automatically connects you to W/ARE satellite (CJ-16) which is storing corrupted consciousness data of their test subjects (Dreamers).

Dreamers

W/ARE test subjects whose minds have become stuck within a W/ARE virtual environment linked to Loop16. Most of the Sleepers are dead due to abrupt disconnections. However, Loop16 was able to contact the CSD and request help in safely disconnecting the remaining 12 Dreamers; whose names were discovered in Legendary "tier" Satcom nodes, and are listed below:

Dreamers #1-2 - Alexander / Simon

Dreamers #3-4 - Claire / Toby

Dreamers #5-6 - Eun Ha / Phillip

Dreamers #7-9 - Tariq / Mike / Isabella

Dreamers #10-11 - Alisha / Nina

Dreamer #12 - #231187661T :: The anomalous 12th Dreamer's "name". It is worth noting that this string can be found as a defective Traveller Iteration in a distress beacon at the beginning of No Man's Sky.

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. They are also Myriad client 3597b.

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.

Seoul Research Lab / Director: Yu Hyo

Beijing Research Lab / Director: Wang Jie

Prague Research Lab / Director: Adriana Dvorak

Berlin Research Lab / Director: Georg Muller

Mercury NEXT

A video game 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 Loop16's Mercury Process is in some way connected to this title. The exact terms of the connection have yet to be fully explained.
