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 you are 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 you are Etheric and know at least one instance of Call the Swarm

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 almost… musical. The more you think about it, the closer you feel to the swarm, the more you can feel tiny shapes moving inside your body.

You learned a new Technique: Call the Swarm

History
