Derived from the demo before the Early Access release
Mark's been missing for 20~ years.

Also, there's a lot of ES: Etienne Schmidt, Empty S, Empathy Systems

Nina points out MTS as – Mobile Telecommunications System, Message Transfer System, Member of the Technical Staff

Empathy Systems sign makes Etienne stare at Nina and say he "mistook something for another" and then a chill goes down her spine when he drops the subject.

Ityne smiles at the notion of the Empty S being evil.

Ana says EmpSys is "not real, just a dream" and to not look at it.

Nina can do math really quickly in her head up to very large numbers.

I have no idea how this Alex, Etienne, and Annie don't have Ityne in their heads, nor how Ityne is alive again/still or which one she is (E288 or original!Ityne).

Standout Lines
  • Etienne – "Just don't rely on me completely. Who knows if she's ever going to come back?"

E's line can't mean ME because Alex's YOU is capitalized properly. I don't know who she is otherwise but he glared at Ityne while he said it.

Timeline
  • Talos One, first true AI, is made in 2000, then tasked with creating God due to Emmanuella Sansoucy's influence on Harold Martin.
  • A year and a half before the bombings, Tristitia maims Bianca with a truck; she begins taking drugs from Empty S.
  • Half a year before the bombings, Luxuria molests the same Bianca.
  • The original ES-type head is made in 2001.
  • Empty S builds a faux-school designated complex 39 in 2002 after Lucille "Gula" Boisjoli bombs its original; Luxuria is blamed for the bombings.
  • The Singularity is neared in March, 2002.
  • Marco Martin, the biological original, is stabbed by Annie. Zachary Boisjoli is framed for it by Emanuella's order to Mark Tremblay to alter files.
  • E's Technological branch grows Cephaloself #1; Fournier is the surname of the Alpha Ex Machina models' designer. C-self #2 is based on E, C-self #3 is based on Marco and goes on to die during Decide 4 God.
  • In 2003, Talos One says AEMs are too slow, so it copied itself into a Beta Ex Machina, creating ES. All Machinas are made from matrigel going forward.
  • Talos Two deletes the version of Talos One outside of ES, then Merges with Marco as a test to see if he can be made into a God to keep him alive forever.
  • Over the next twelve years, the building is populated with one Alpha and several Beta Ex Machina units who are under the impression it's still before 2004.
  • The original ES-type starts growing pillars of what's dubbed matrigel in 2008-2010
  • In 2009, two AEMs are built: one for Hannah.
  • Beta Ex Machina/the ES we know takes in 200 minds in 2012 as the second Abime prototype.
  • Zachary Schmidt kills Harold Martin in 2013, then the cult starts killing people, including Annie's parents.
  • ME is created from merging Marco and E288.
  • The events of Birth ME Code occur in November 11, 2014, until Complex 39 and the portion of New York subway in which it resided are blown up by Marco (C-self) on Ityne's orders.
  • ME is deleted, all Beta Ex Machinas are destroyed.
  • Marco (cyborg) frees Simon Fournier in 2018, then messaged Nina as EM.
  • Talos Two breaches containment in 2019.
  • Complex Twelve is built in 2022 for Project DeForge.
  • Alex from reset 288 is aged up and Merged with a scientist, becoming Agnos. Empathy is rolled back a month of memories and turned into Simon Fournier.
  • Months later, Nina, Matri, and Agnos work together to infiltrate Complex 27.
  • Nina becomes Jasmine, who... never existed, and the repeats turn J into a Hannah/Nina hybrid. Hannah is hanging out with Kadence, Nina's sister, and cats Timid and Feral Muffin, third generation down from Mini Muffin.
  • Head AS Code happens on April 22, 2022.
  • Matriarch brings Greta home to Hannah and is, I guess, their aunt now.
