===Echo Software===

Partnered with The Atlas Foundation. Echo is a service established to help people cope with the deaths of loved ones. Echo uses patented voice recognition software to accurately recreate the voice of any one particular person with a mere 5-minute audio sample.
Introduced in Season 2; Satcom is Myriad's Satellite Communications API. Connected to W/ARE-assigned satellite CJ-16; storing consciousness data of the Sacramento test subjects- also known as dreamers.
 
 
 
==== The Sacramento Dreamers ====
 
 
 
Test subjects from W/ARE's Sacramento Research Lab whose consciousness is stuck in satellite CJ-16. When the corruption began, Emily worked vigorously to save as many dreamers as possible. When unable to extract these last Sacramento dreamers due to immense degradation, memory fragmentation, and data corruption she reached out to the CSD for assistance. We would be advised to guide Emily's interactions with the dreamers, helping her trigger a distinct emotion or memory to identify that dreamer's memory block in the simulation mainframe.
 
 
 
These '''12 remaining dreamers''' are listed below:
 
 
 
* Dreamer 1''':''' [https://imgur.com/a/R35DAUA Alexander] — An old man battling with severe cognitive disorders, including prosopagnosia. Alexander described his entry into W/ARE from his hazy memory- which happened to be through his brother, Jacob, who had taken him to a special sleep doctor in California who could "help" him to ''presumably cure or lessen some of these cognitive disturbances''.
 
 
 
 
 
* Dreamer 2''':''' [https://imgur.com/a/M6ScezM #231187661T] — The anomalous second dreamer. Not much information has been made available. However, it is noteworthy that their name can be found as a defective iteration ID in a [https://pastebin.com/4TMK3Cn5 distress beacon log] at the beginning of No Man's Sky. ''(This dreamer bares corrupted memory fragments.)''
 
 
 
 
 
* Dreamer 3''':''' [https://imgur.com/a/TGlGUmU Claire]

* Dreamer 7''':''' [https://imgur.com/a/q0vIjB1 Tariq] — Working as a W/ARE Tech Supervisor, Tariq assisted in both Alexander and Phillip's screening reports before becoming a dreamer himself for reasons unknown. Tariq died on July 6th, 2018 following the [https://pastebin.com/4FhN2b6w conclusion] of the [https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/8w68t4/myriad_security_diagnostic_testing_important/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit Myriad security diagnostic]; which ended in all servers running W/ARE processes that were communicating with the satellite being shut down.

==== The Exosuits ====
 
 
 
Physical exosuits wore by the dreamers for testing with the intent of extending the conscious experience of REM without the need for sleep at all. These suits were shipped to W/ARE by a ''currently'' undisclosed company.
 
 
 
[https://s3.amazonaws.com/ware-virtual-dashboard/files/EunHa-PatientFile.pdf Eun Ha's patient file] details the use of third-party exosuit software, moreover the conspicuous events following that software interfacing with W/ARE's network.
 
 
 
Additional tidbits regarding these exosuits can be found in the Medical Extract section of the dreamer's patient files, found compiled [https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan#Internal_Memos here], or can be accessed directly from the Satcom Dashboard.

Effects of the events taking place in Waking Titan can be felt in "shockwaves" through No Man's Sky's updates, but references to the ARG itself are rather limited. In-game lore can act independently from the ARG. This is supported primarily by the in-game reveal of ATLAS' origin, which takes place on a different timeline as opposed to Loop16's. Consideration of this has sparked the Simulation Cascade theory, which offers the explanation of: "''The existence of many simulated realities existing in one another with progressive degradation and inaccuracy,''" thus Loop16's reach into deeper levels of this cascade (including the No Man's Sky reality) making sense. This is of course just a theory, admittedly the conclusion to draw from this is up to personal interpretation since no concrete answer has yet been provided.

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.
