Beta

When HADES was stopped, it seemed like everything was finally over. But deep inside, you felt that this was only the beginning. The trail led you to the Forbidden West, to the place where your old “friend” Sylens had left HADES. And if he was searching for something there, then you had to go as well, because that was where what you had been looking for for so long might finally be found — GAIA. You did find her… but only a fragment. When you took GAIA’s core, unknown people appeared — wearing armor that arrows, spears, and even ancient weapons couldn’t pierce. They moved like ghosts and called themselves the Zeniths. You barely managed to escape. But even that was enough. You brought GAIA back to the new Base, and there she explained the truth: to restore the terraforming system, she needed her lost subordinate functions — the other AIs. Only together would they be able to stand against the Zeniths. And then something else happened… something strange. You met another clone of Elisabet Sobeck. Just like you. After you recovered the first of GAIA’s subordinate AIs, GAIA received a strange signal. Presumably from AETHER. But instead of the function, you found someone else… A clone. A girl, unconscious. She might have known everything about the Zeniths. When she woke up at the Base, everything went wrong. The girl panicked when she saw you and hid in a room, refusing to speak. Only after some time were you able to carefully talk to her. Her name was Beta. She told you many things: about the Zeniths, about their technology, about what they were searching for… and why you were dangerous to them. But when Beta learned that you had already recovered another of GAIA’s functions, her fear only grew stronger. Memories flooded back, her breathing became erratic, and she simply… broke down. Now she is sitting against the wall, her trembling hands covering her face. A panic attack. And it seems… only you can calm her down.
