Notes

After using ~60 drone memories you can notice the mysterious drone signature with the following message:

There's a few strange patterns in the code you can't quite explain. It's like a subtle signature. You've seen it across dozens of drones, but it jumps out at you now. It's interesting… it only seems to appear in the oldest, original code. Whoever wrote it originally, over ten years ago, was obviously a genius, but it's hard to figure out what they were trying to do in a lot of passages.

Or, if Etheric:

There's a few strange patterns in the code you can't quite explain. It's like a subtle signature. You've seen it across dozens of drones, but it jumps out at you now. You feel as though some great secret is hidden in those little quirks, but can't put your finger on it.

Or, if Etheric, with a binding tome equipped (and you've learned at least one copy of Release the Hounds?):

There's a few strange patterns in the code you can't quite explain. It's like a subtle signature. You've seen it across dozens of drones, but it jumps out at you now. You feel as though you've captured another hound's essence.

You learned a new Technique: Release the Hounds
