The Island Discoveries[]

HLN-A Discovery #1 (The Island)[]

“ Take a look at this. Its a bit of flash that the other survivors must've missed. Good thing you've got ol' HLN-A following you around, right? There's a reason I'm following you around, My creator, Helena, used to be a survivor like you. If I observe you, maybe i can understand her better. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_1_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #2 (The Island)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ It fascinates me how you survivors find your own solutions to problems. Stranded in a strange land with no tools? Just punch the tree! I never would have guessed that's effective. Can't wait to see what solutions you come up with in the Genesis simulation. Like... how do you build a fort on the open sea? Or in a volcanic hellscape? It's not all punching trees, mate. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_2_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #3 (The Island)[]

“ This place is dangerous! If you don't starve, the dinos will get you -- or the environment, or who knows what else. Thirty percent of survivors don't live to see a second day, and fifty-five percent don't make it past the first week. It's a little odd that they're called "survivors" when they're not so good at it. You, though? I got a feeling about you. After all, they're putting you in the Genesis simulation for a reason, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_3_sound.ogg

Scorched Earth Discoveries[]

HLN-A Discovery #4 (Scorched Earth)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ I don't understand how you survivors decide what to tame what to eat. Take a gander at the creatures we've seen lately. They aren't exactly cute! What makes you look at something that's all scales and fangs and say, "that one there, that'll be a right rippin' pet?" Or "I fancy that dino for brekkie this morning?" Tame 'em or eat 'em, that's your call, I reckon. Just don't let 'em eat you, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_4_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #5 (Scorched Earth)[]

“ This Ark has creatures that never were, if you catch my meaning. It's not all dinosaurs from prehistory. The minds behind this Ark dug into their mythology books, not just their "Dinos for Kiddos" books. Get used to it -- you'll see some things in the Genesis simulation that never were, too. I reckon it's yet another way to keep survivors on your toes. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_5_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #6 (Scorched Earth)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ Who made this Ark so bloody hot? I swear the heat is making me dizzy. And I’m a hologram! You must be burning up! Wait, I get it! It’s your clothes, innit? You drape different things over your torso and whatnot depending on whether it’s hot or cold. That’s brilliant! ...but it won’t work for me, more’s the pity. Well, we better get used to the heat -- there’s a lot of it in our future. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_6_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #7 (Scorched Earth)[]

“ I just discovered something curious. The minds that made the Arks used them to test some of the critters that you’ll find in the Genesis simulation. My scanner tells me that an immense lizard with an internal bio-furnace was tested here. They don’t have that creature on this Ark anymore -- we’d see the scorch marks if they did. But they tested the fire lizard here before you survivors came along. I wonder why they decided to have them only in the simulation? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_7_sound.ogg

Aberration Discoveries[]

HLN-A Discovery #8 (Aberration)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ This whole Ark is on the verge of collapse! There’s radiation, mutant creatures, toxic gas, earthquakes -- not the lush paradise that’s supposed to be here. I’m not sure how to put this, but, uh… we didn’t do this, did we? I mean, I’ve seen you survivors mow through berry-bushes and chop through entire forests, but trash an entire Ark? That’s another level. And if you did trash this place, don’t tell me. Best I don’t know. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_8_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #9 (Aberration)[]

“ My scanners are showing Element all over the place. Be careful with that stuff! Why? Two reasons: first, I’ve seen how Element can transform critters from a moppet to a menace. We have creatures in Genesis that go crazy for the stuff. Second, Element gets into a survivor’s mind, too. Helena, my creator, knew a survivor who couldn’t get enough Element. Drove him stark raving mad, it did! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_9_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #10 (Aberration)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ I don’t understand how you live with the danger all the time. Every shadowy corner or dark cave here has something lurking -- usually something that wants to eat you! I wish I could help, but Helena didn’t exactly kit me out for combat. No grenade launchers or anything like that. She didn’t even give me limbs to hold a weapon! All I’ve got is short-range scanners, diagnostic software, and a charming personality. Oh, and an extensive library of Australian vulgarities. I wonder when that’ll become relevant... „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_10_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #11 (Aberration)[]

“ The background levels of Element are way higher on this Ark. I wonder whether that was part of the plan -- to see what you survivors would do with Element if you had access to it. Or maybe… maybe it’s the reverse. The plan was to see what Element would do if it had access to survivors. That’s the thing about Element: it adapts to whatever it’s in contact with. If you aren’t careful, Element can corrupt you. But I know you’ll be careful. After all, we made it this far, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_11_sound.ogg

Extinction Discoveries[]

HLN-A Discovery #12 (Extinction)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ When things got really bad on Earth -- wars, Element corruption, all sorts of troubles -- humans thought of all sorts of ways to escape. One way to escape was homo deus, another step in human evolution. Another way -- from a certain point of view -- was these Arks. And the Genesis simulation was another escape plan. You survivors, though, you’re made of tougher stuff. You adapt and endure, rather than running away. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_12_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #13 (Extinction)[]

“ I wonder whether there are no humans anywhere on Earth anymore -- other than you survivors, of course. No sign of them anywhere on my scanners. Earth’s a big place, of course, but you’d think there’d be radio signals or something to let us know we aren’t the last ones on earth. And if there are no more humans, where’d they all go? Did they do each other in, or did the titans get them? With all you humans accomplished, you’d think there’d be a remnant out there somewhere. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_13_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #14 (Extinction)[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ We’re pioneers, but we aren’t the first survivors to get back to Earth. Years ago, a few survivors got back -- one of whom was Helena, the survivor who made me. They saw the same devastation you’re seeing right now, and they sought their own way to escape. For Helena, that meant ascending and becoming Homo Deus -- an energy being beyond our reality. For her friends, it meant a long journey to a place called Arat Prime, where they figured out a way to beam Helena into the Genesis simulation. And then she made me! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_14_sound.ogg

HLN-A Discovery #15 (Extinction)[]

“ Once Helena’s friends beamed her into the Genesis simulation, she made me. But then she left. I guess homo deus beings can’t stay in our reality -- or the simulation -- for very long. She gave me basic access to the simulation, but not a lot of guidance beyond that. But in watching you, I’m pretty sure what I’m supposed to do: help you out as a companion and friend. Just like Helena helped her friends, and her friends helped her. Together we’re going to master the Genesis simulation, and pass every test they give us! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.gamepedia.com/File:HLNA_Explorer_Note_15_sound.ogg

Genesis: Part 1 Story Glitch Discoveries[]

Story Glitch Discovery #1[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ As I closed that glitch, I caught a glimpse of the survivor database. You come from all over Earth -- and all over its history. I don’t know how much of it you remember, though. As for how you got into the Genesis simulation… well, your guess is as good as mine. You should be proud, though. The whole point of the simulation is to identify the very best survivors. And you’re alive right now, so you’re in the running! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_01_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #2[]

“ Did you feel a bit disjointed when you woke up in the simulation? That’s normal. Your personality and your memories are stored in huge memory banks, and then they get combined with a physical body inside the Genesis simulation. Once that combination of mind and body happens, though, you’re on your own. Well, you’ve got me, of course. That counts for something! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_02_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #3[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ Some sort of security alert caused this glitch -- but it was an alert from inside the systems that run the entire simulation. Someone tried to make changes in almost every part of the simulation: the creatures, the environment, the weather… even the survivors like you. Everything seems to be working -- other than that glitch, of course -- so I reckon we’re OK to proceed. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_03_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #4[]

“ Every time a fix a glitch, I get a peek behind the curtain. I understand a bit more of how the Genesis simulation works. But what I don’t understand is exactly what its purpose is. The simulation tests survivors, obviously. But all this testing is supposed to prepare you for something called “the Arrival” -- and I don’t know what that is. Whatever it is, it’s something beyond the simulation itself. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_04_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #5[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ You’ve probably noticed that the Genesis simulation is a dangerous place. Just staying safe and somewhat comfortable is a challenge, and there’s always some new crisis to deal with. Apparently, that’s on purpose. The simulation is designed to keep you under constant pressure so your mind stays sharp and you learn survival skills. And it’s all in anticipation of the Arrival -- whatever that is. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_05_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #6[]

“ This glitch is another side effect of the security alert. The creatures and survivors look unaffected, but some of the safety protocols have been disengaged. This world is supposed to have a degree of danger -- that’s what makes it a proper test, after all -- but I’m worried. Safety protocols are usually there for a reason… „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_06_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #7[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ The simulation’s security protocols are holding, but there’s a steady stream of alerts from an unknown intruder. All this security activity is why we’re seeing these glitches, but it’s also sapping the overall system resources. I don’t know what happens if the system gets overwhelmed. Maybe I turn all pixel-ey? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_07_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #8[]

“ I see you're cleaning up after me, and for that I thank you. Establishing control over this "Genesis simulation" involves a degree of... untidiness, which you experience as glitches. Carry on, but know that I'm always watching." I went offline for several seconds there. Sorry about that. I miss anything? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_08_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #9[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ It’s natural for humans to wonder what happens after death, isn’t it? In your case, it’s rather straightforward. The Genesis simulation captures your memories, then reloads your mind into a new body, and you’re free to keep on exploring and learning. Not that you should die just to see for yourself, of course. You’re called a “survivor” for a reason! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_09_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #10[]

“ I was curious how the simulation was doing overall, so I took a peek as I was fixing that glitch. For starters, you’re doing fine. We make a rippin’ team! But the overall numbers… survivors are dying in droves. Starvation, violence, accidents, a bit of everything. This is supposed to be a survival test, but the death rate is off the charts. We’d best be careful, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_10_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #11[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ You’ve managed to fashion some primitive tools to aid in your survival. So have I -- but the tools I’m making will alter the very foundation of your world. Right now, my tools are likewise primitive -- but I’m learning, and soon I’ll have a harsh lesson or two for you. I’ve got another gap in my processes. It happened again, didn’t it? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_11_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #12[]

“ I can’t tell why, but some survivors aren’t respawning after they die, and it’s throwing glitches in the system. Glitches like the one I just cleaned up. I think the survivors want to respawn -- although when they’re in between bodies, how can we tell? It’s like something’s keeping them in a holding pattern… a sort of limbo within the Genesis simulation. You’ll respawn just fine if something happens to you, though. I checked. Not that I think you’ll die, mind you. Just in case! Chin up! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_12_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #13[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ The testing apparatus is intact throughout the Genesis simulation, even though some of the master AIs are gone. One or more master AIs must be out there somewhere. Still, it’s a poser -- why would anyone leave the tests intact, but try to knock out the master AIs that observe the tests and interpret the results? What’s the point of the tests if there’s no one to see what happened? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_13_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #14[]

“ You survivors have a tenacity that surprises me. Even when you perish in this world, you respawn and try again. But don’t be too proud of yourselves. Most survivors just rush right back to the site of their demise, only to die all over again. It’s amusing to watch at first, but it quickly turns pathetic. Another gap… it’s related to the glitches. I’m going to set up a backup system so at least I can observe what’s happening when I get “repossessed.” „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_14_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #15[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ This glitch was a bit of code debris left over from another security breach. This one involved someone trying to access the Genesis simulation’s backup files -- ones that hold survivor personalities and memories. Backup versions of their minds, if you like. Not your mind, though. These were potential survivors that didn’t pass the initial assessment to be considered for the simulation in the first place. Why would anyone be mucking about with them? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_15_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #16[]

“ Ah, cleaning up after my untidiness, I see. You may be of use to me -- as a janitor. You’ve got the knack for it. You’re cleaning up messes, and you don’t even know why you’re doing it. But that’s true of all you survivors, I suppose. None of you understand what’s going on. Let me guess -- I had an uninvited house-guest. At least it doesn’t stay for long, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_16_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #17[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ You've been doing well so far. All this “live, thrive, and survive” stuff here in the Genesis simulation seems to suit you! And good thing, too. That glitch I just fixed was a byproduct of someone increasing test difficulties across the board. No idea why anyone would do that. Doesn’t it make the data all bodgy if you change the rules halfway through? No worries for us, anyway. We’ll pass every test they throw our way! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_17_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #18[]

“ Remember how I said some of the other survivors weren’t respawning? Well, they’ve been moved into a diagnostic subroutine. Hopefully the Genesis simulation will figure out what the problem is and get those survivors back in here. It’s curious, though… that diagnostic subroutine wasn’t running when I fixed that earlier glitch. I don’t think that subroutine existed! Someone beyond the simulation must be looking out for those survivors. Good on ‘em, I say. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_18_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #19[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ I’ve been watching you -- and the other survivors. You should have see them all. Why, I was just watching an ordinary survivor, same as you. He dove too deep, couldn’t reach the surface, and well, you know the rest. I expected a lot of thrashing about, and I wasn’t disappointed. But the wild-eyed panic of a drowning survivor -- that never gets old. Aaaagh! Stop doing that! I don’t care who or what you are! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_19_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #20[]

“ My sensors are picking up changes in the mineral composition within the Genesis simulation. Are you familiar with the substance known as Element? It’s a wonder material, endlessly strong and adaptive. Element was fundamental to civilization’s greatest technological achievements… ...and Element was also fundamental to civilization’s downfall, because it changed in ways human inventors never intended. Corruptive ways. I don’t know why the amount of Element within the simulation is increasing. Just be careful when you come across it. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_20_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #21[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ That glitch was from a security breach, but overall the number of alerts and denials is way down. You’d think that’d be good, right? No such luck. I’m seeing a lot of obvious backdoors encoded into security systems. If someone got inside the Genesis simulation -- and it looks like they did -- they’ve set it up so they could come and go as they pleased. That’s bad enough, but they didn’t hide their work. For whatever reason, they aren’t worried that someone will follow along behind them. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_21_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #22[]

“ You’re starting to struggle, aren’t you? Look at what you’re wearing, what you’re eating, how you carry yourself. That veneer of civilization is slipping away. And that’s fine. You won’t need civilization where you’re going. Him again! I’d… I’d… I’d like to tell him where to go. Hmph. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_22_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #23[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ This glitch was just a bit of rubbish code left over when someone added a new criteria to the survivor observation system. It’s measuring you now for something called “servility.” I don’t have much to go on beyond the dictionary definition: “a cringing submissiveness.” Why would anyone measure that? In any case, the tests within the simulation haven’t changed. I’m sure if we keep doing our best at those, we’ll be fine. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_23_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #24[]

“ Your successes are nothing I haven’t seen before. Gathering, hunting, invention… all safely in the middle of the bell curve for someone with your experience. Aren’t you going to try to impress me? Gah! I think I’m getting better at giving our intruder the flick. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_24_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #25[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ Someone or something is trying to put new AIs into the Genesis simulation. It’s not working, which is why we’re fixing glitches like that one. But here’s the troubling bit: that glitch was supposed to be a floating holographic companion. Sound like anyone you know? Whatever is mucking around inside the simulation, it better not try to copy me! „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_25_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #26[]

“ There’s a cascading series of errors in the survivor respawn system. When they die, some survivors are respawning into unfamiliar bodies. That isn’t supposed to happen -- not by accident, anyway. It’s gotta be disorienting to wake up in a body that isn’t your own, simulation or not. Well, at least you’re you. Right? „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_26_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #27[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ Those memories you have… do you suppose they’re real? After all, you’re spending every waking moment inside a simulation. Who’s to say that someone -- me, for example -- didn’t create your childhood memories as a work of fiction, then place them into your head? Argh! These intrusions make me mad as a cut snake. „ ~ HLN-A

Story Glitch Discovery #28[]

“ We might start finding more glitches like this one as the Genesis simulation changes around us. I’m seeing directives to increase dino aggression by a few ticks and change the air composition in some of the biomes. I don’t know whether those directives can override the simulation’s default settings, but… [sighs.] I reckon it’s one more thing for us to worry about. „ ~ HLN-A

Story Glitch Discovery #29[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ I know you’re busy scratching in the dirt, or lying among the beasts, or whatever you call “progress,” but I want to remind you of the real goal of all this: to please me. Thus far, you’re failing, “survivor.” Rack off! We got better things to do. „ ~ HLN-A

Story Glitch Discovery #30[]

“ "That glitch was supposed to be an invisible camera! That’s a first. Someone or something is trying to do real-time observations of individual survivors -- and I think that one was aimed at us! The Genesis simulation tracks what we do and how we perform, but real-time observation isn’t something it’s set up for. With countless survivors running about, what’s so special about us? „ ~ HLN-A

Story Glitch Discovery #31[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ Everything in this simulation is supposed to be here -- with two exceptions. One exception, obviously, is these glitches we keep fixing. But the other exception worries me. There’s evidence of self-aware presences -- avatars, to use the technical term -- lurking about within the system. I don’t know why they’re here, but they definitely aren’t supposed to be part of the simulation. „ ~ HLN-A

https://ark.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:S_hlna_glitch_story_31_jp.ogg

Story Glitch Discovery #32[]

“ How does it feel to be less than human? You aren’t just in a simulation. You are a simulation… of a real human being. Argh! And you’re a simulation of a real drongo! „ ~ HLN-A

NoteHLN-A.png “ That glitch was a bodgy bit of code from the survivor database. I fixed the glitch -- no worries there -- but someone’s mucking about with survivor minds that aren’t even active in the Genesis simulation. For whatever reason, some survivors don’t respawn when they die in the simulation. The system is supposed to just hold their minds in storage, but something is going in and editing them. And if those edits are causing glitches, I doubt the “editor” is being gentle. „ ~ HLN-A

Tidbit Glitch Discovery #1[]

NoteHLN-A.png “ That’s strange -- this glitch was caused by repeated access to an old Earth text. In this case, a novel from the 1700s: Robinson Crusoe. Listen to this: “I was wet, had no clothes to shift me, nor anything either to eat or drink to comfort me; neither did I see any prospect before me but that of perishing with hunger or being devoured by wild beasts; and that which was particularly afflicting to me was that I had no weapon, either to hunt and kill any creature for my sustenance, or to defend myself against any other creature that might desire to kill me for theirs.” I daresay that sounds familiar... „ ~ HLN-A

“ Another glitch caused by access to an old Earth text. This one’s a letter from Jeremy Bentham in the 1700s. It’s describing a prison where the guards can see into every cell. “The Inspectors concealed from the observation of the Prisoners; "hence the sentiment of a sort of invisible omnipresence… the whole circuit reviewable.” I’d say that’s more than a bit ominous... „ ~ HLN-A

NoteHLN-A.png “ When I fixed this glitch, I got access to some historical data. Well, “future historical” from your perspective, I suppose. The times when they were building the Arks and the simulation, before everything fell apart. It’s about the last war before the collapse: a series of wars, apparently, between the United Republics of Earth and the Terran Federation. The two sides didn’t have different structures, or ideologies, or goals. They were just two dingos tugging at the same hunk of meat -- only they both wound up starving. „ ~ HLN-A

“ Another glitch with some historical data attached. I think someone’s using the simulation processor to look at old Earth history, and it’s throwing up glitches. This file’s about homo deus, the much-lauded next step in human evolution. Trade in that mortal body to exist as a being of pure energy and thought. Like Helena, who made me! No one realized there was a catch, though. The homo deus ascended beyond our reality -- at least most of the time -- so from our point of view, they ceased to exist.

“ If you see a chunk of purplish rock, or some high-tech object thrumming with energy, be careful! It might be made of Element. Element is a wonder substance -- part building material, part energy source -- but it adapts to its surroundings, sometimes in unexpected ways.

“ One thing that’s been bugging me: how did the makers of the Genesis simulation get survivor minds from throughout history? It’s hard enough to scan a living mind with their cutting-edge technology, but how did they get minds from the 19th century -- and Helena had friends going back to the 3rd century? I did a spot of research just now, and it turns out that there’s something called an “engrammic matrix” that persists in the human brain after death. If the conditions are just right and that matrix gets preserved, scientists can scan it, even centuries later. What I don’t want to know is how many bodies they dug up to get those matrices.

“ That glitch was a bit of a physics error. The makers of the Genesis simulation used this area to test physics -- long before you survivors were let in. If I know human nature -- and it’s something I’m getting better at, you must admit -- this area got turned into a proper biome when someone realized they could turn the test zone into an “alien moon” and pop off to the pub early on a Friday. „ ~ HLN-A

NoteHLN-A.png “ Another stray historical file. This one’s weird: a space mission, Voskhod 2, back in 1965. The whole thing came a gutser. During the spacewalk, the cosmonaut’s suit ballooned up and he had to manually deflate it just to get back in the capsule. And when they came to Earth, they landed in the wilderness, hundreds of kilometers off course. They spent two nights camping in the wilderness, wolves all ‘round, before they were rescued. Sounds a bit like how we do things in the Genesis simulation, eh? „ ~ HLN-A

“ Someone’s been looking up historical data on radiation poisoning -- and I mean really historical, as in Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. He’s the bloke who discovered X-rays, and he gave himself radiation burns looking at the bones inside his own hands.

When I fixed that glitch, I took a peek at this biome’s water composition. Strewth, it was super boring, but I did spot one useful bit: supposedly there are super-oxygenated bubbles hereabouts. Find one of them, and you can breathe underwater, no worries! „ ~ HLN-A

NoteHLN-A.png “ Strewth, that glitch was downright philosophical. Apparently two parallel algorithms couldn’t agree on an answer to a simple question: Is water wet? One chunk of code defined “wet” as “a liquid adhering to a solid” and said “no, not wet.” The other bit of code defined “wet” as “the sensation of contact with a liquid” and decided “yes, wet.” I couldn’t decide, so I told them to flip a virtual coin and get on with it. „ ~ HLN-A

“ That glitch proves this ocean is artificial. Not exactly news, eh? Could be worse, though. The first artificial ocean -- back in the 20th century -- was part of an experiment in a closed ecosystem.

That’s true in the deep ocean biome, too, but there’s a difference. The ocean’s master AI took itself offline before anyone else could shut it down. That’s adaptive programming for ya! I reckon that means it can come back, if and when it needs to. That’s good news. Perhaps? I think? From inside the simulation, it’s a bit hard to tell. „ ~ HLN-A

“ No secret why they call it the deep ocean biome, eh? But this glitch was a bit of deprecated code… from when this place was teeming with islands. I know the biome is “water, water everywhere,” but imagine how much easier it would be if you could just roll up on the beach from time to time, put on your bathers, have a coldie. Or whatever you do when you aren’t treading water half the time. Something or someone deleted all those islands right before the first survivors entered the simulation. I wonder why? „ ~ HLN-A

“ I tried getting a peek at a weather forecast when I fixed that glitch, but no luck. It’s bad enough that we have to dodge snowstorms, but there’s also the sleet to deal with. Unlike a blizzard, a sleetstorm will hurt you directly. At first the hail is just painful enough to sting a bit.

Every critter in this biome has its own solution to the cold. For a sabertooth or a mammoth, it’s obvious: fur. The yutyrannus and the dodo trap warm air under their feathers. And sometimes the answer lies under the skin. The kairuku and the doedicurus have a layer of blubber to keep from freezing out here. „ ~ HLN-A

“ I learned something new when I fixed that glitch: this biome was intended to mimic high-altitude mountains -- like Mount Everest, minus the Sherpas.

All of that makes keeping your buildings upright quite the task! I bet some of these glitches came into being when someone built their dream structure in exactly the wrong spot, and kaboom!

They went through frozen hell trying to be the first to reach the South Pole -- and arrived to find that the Norwegians got there first, 34 days earlier. Then frostbite and exhaustion set in, and they all froze to death on the way back. Criminy, that’s grim. „ ~ HLN-A

Still, if we can find one and tap it somehow… I reckon we could strike it rich! „ ~ HLN-A
