The First Traveller

Speak with -null- at a Holo-Terminus: Locate a Holo-Terminus and interact with the terminal. You will encounter -null-, who will ask a philosophical question. Regardless of your answer, -null- will propose a way to bring Artemis back and provide blueprints for the Soul Engine and Mind Arc. You'll then extract an essence from a representation of Artemis. Return to the Space Anomaly and speak with Priest Entity Nada and Specialist Polo.

Living Pearl: Found by killing creatures with armored shells (e.g., Armoured Clam).

Cadmium: Found in red star systems. You may need to install the Cadmium Drive Hyperdrive module first. Scan planets for Cadmium as a primary resource, land, and use the Analysis Visor to locate deposits. Extract with the Terrain Manipulator.

Mind Arc: Requires 3 Glass, 3 Wiring Loom, and the Soul Engine.

Glass: Can be crafted from Frost Crystal or refined from Silicate Powder, Cyto-Phosphate, and Salt. Wiring Looms can be bought from merchants or found at Galactic Trade Terminals.

Return to the Space Anomaly: After crafting the Mind Arc, return to a Holo-Terminus and speak with -null- again. You will then be prompted to return to the Space Anomaly to discuss the plan with Priest Entity Nada and Specialist Polo. They will explain that Artemis cannot be truly revived but can be uploaded to a simulation, with risks, or allowed to die.

Decide Artemis's Fate: A Korvax Simulation Terminal will unlock in the Space Anomaly (to the right of the large teleport module). Interact with it to make your choice:

• Upload Artemis: You can speak with Artemis periodically throughout the main story. You can choose to tell him the truth or lie to him.

Allow Artemis to Die: You will not hear from Artemis again in the main missions. This choice has no significant real-world consequences.

Contact Apollo: After your decision, return to your Starship and contact Apollo to inform him of the events. Use the Starship scanner to find a nearby Monolith, which will provide more glyphs needed to activate a Portal. The Portal's location will be your next objective.

Charge Glyphs to Activate the Portal: You will need Sodium or Sodium Nitrate to charge the glyphs.
