JEREMY AI

Jeremy is a talking hovercraft with the downloaded consciousness of Yatvig’s dead lab partner and an old friend. Killed in the Deryat Civil War, the real Jeremy was ‘resurrected’ from stored data and installed into the ship’s AI. Now he pushes the story forward with his deadpan one-liners – equal parts comic relief and narrative guide.

“Note to self: don’t arm an angry mob whose leader wants to kill you for ruining their life.”
(on giving weapons to rogue slave faction led by Nebias, who was sold to slavery in his infancy by Yatvig).

“A Yieldant. Because calling someone a slave was too honest for Nugrad’s PR team”.
(on euphemisms used by the slavemasters in Nugrad)

Another gate? We either blast our way through or find another way. I might be dead but I do want to keep my circuits intact. Now it’s your turn to pretend that you care.
(Jeremy commenting on the possible ways to resolve the situation)

Yatvig’s brilliant with big ideas. But when it comes to, let’s say, ‘micromanagement’? Disaster. I would’ve stopped him — had I not died in the Deryat civil war. Actually, our relationship’s improved a lot since I became software.
(on Yatvig’s revolutionary tendencies and lack of soft skills)

 “I know, I’m hard on Yatvig. But here’s the truth — he’s lost too many people chasing that ‘better world.’ And yes, a lot of that was his fault… But he’s nothing but a dedicated warrior.”
(Jeremy being serious and actually giving Yatvig credit)

YATVIG

The game’s protagonist. His ideals of emancipation of the unprivileged in his early years at Mesopetra led to his imprisonement and death penalty trial.

“The so-called Holy Order of Mesopetra is nothing but a gamble. Win, and you’re handed a ticket to the market of thoughts — the Tamen network, where the chosen bind their minds like gears in a vast machine. Lose, and you’re left crawling in the dust, forever outmatched by the Tamen-gifted.

To call that holy is obscene. It doesn’t unite — it sanctifies division, crowns the privileged as divine, and grinds the rest into sand… Mesopetra is no temple. It’s a blind beast, gorging on poisoned flesh and calling it salvation.”
