However the meditation implant seems to have created some kind of global dream network that subconsciously taught us what is happening down there. We now believe that this planet is indeed hostile and presents a series of issues that need to be solved ASAP.

That is incorrect. The AI tricked them into thinking that what they were experiencing was real through corrupted meditation shrines. These assets will make anyone believe that death is only the beginning and that anything experienced after that will somehow re-wind death back to the last visited shrine. Our specialists have decoded the truth. The only way to get the mother A.I. and bring her back to us is to reach her without ever experiencing death.[b] By pressing the SHIFT or BACK/SELECT command on the ship's main menu after completing the whole dream[/b], you will have the ability to be sent in a special expedition without the possibility to predict the future, perceiving multiple levels of reality within several layers of interaction. Only one reoccurring side-effect: it appears that although the world remains consistent, some of the living beings act differently. As if they were somehow able to move through multiple awakening loops. That means that every loop will become more and more tiring, therefore it will be much harder to bring the A.I. back home without experiencing real death on each run.

Do not make the A.I. fool you with her mind tricks. We need her back, our whole civilization depends on you. [i][end transmission][/i]
