It is +unknown how or why they operate, but what is clear is that the World Daemon is +extremely important to the operation of a BitNode. It is possible for the daemon +to be hacked, which results in the entire simulation going offline and the +failure of automatic attempts to reboot the node. The Daemon has a physical +presence, as indicated by the Bladeburners' ability to destroy it via force. +Also, hydroflame (irl) has stated that the glitch in Ishima is the physical +location of the World Daemon in a node. When the player destroys a BitNode, it is +currently unknown what becomes of it, or the people trapped within. However, based +on the way jump3r and Deadalus help the player to destroy it, doing so is somehow +aligned with their goals. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/lore/enders.txt b/lore/enders.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c00015843 --- /dev/null +++ b/lore/enders.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +The "Enders", as dubbed by the humans who know of them, are a humanoid alien race +with extremely advanced technology.
