Lore

Intelligence Fragments and Computers contains crucial information about the history of the Mars colonization project.

They reveal hints that will allow to lift the veil and learn the truth about the collapse of Mars which remains a mystery and a potential threat to anyone left behind, but you are able to warn Earth and call for rescue by launching Memory Capsules.

Fragments have 4 types/colors:

• contains lore in English
• contains lore in English
• contains lore in English or Chinese
• contains lore in Russian

Usually, you have to find 5 matching fragments and compile them into a durable intelligence storage (computer) where the 5 individual texts are compiled (right-click on computer and click "VIEW") to read all texts.

Both Zhao and Bell personal have now been drawn down to only priority positions. The Governor has been working directly with CEO Biyo Zhao and CEO Richard Bell on which personal will be last to leave before the next solar flare event. Both families of course wish to be the last off giving them an advantage on arranging things for their return. Andrea Lincome: Captain of USC Security: I am finding clues to some unauthorized bio experiments by Zhao Corp. I have security personal looking into a possible nonsantioned cloning base somewhere in the west. Zhao is of course denying it, but I feel they are up to something. I am wondering about the Bell Mining cave that they set up for us containing something other than the bots that we commissioned. Currently I've had problems getting security forces to search the cave since most personal has now been sent off world.

#1	X 739 Y 556	Ivan Stasevich: Director DGC Intelligence Mars: I have not been able to get close to the new SOM entity. It appears to be highly sensitive to those in the area so I am looking to keep my distance for now until I can discover how to best approach it.
#2	X 740 Y 557	Ivan Stasevich: Director DGC Intelligence Mars: I have been watching the USC forces testing out the SOM entity and I don't see a way for anything less than a full elite combat alliance force engaging it. It would be suicide for a lone person like myself or even all four of our lightly armed personal currently on planet to engage.
#3	X 652 Y 433	Dr. Alfred Licter: Head Scientist Bell Mining: I have started the advanced robotic program that USC has commisioned us to help with. I've placed out advanced units in an enclosed cave to better determine their effectivenes. Our cave has become a good training area for training security forces and to see how the new clones can deal with hostile entities. USC is very happy with our setup.
#4	X 649 Y 434	Dr. Alfred Licter: Head Scientist Bell Mining: We have come up with an advance unit that we are now calling the Riot Mantis. It has a harden shell and releases anti personal mines. We have also attached an upgraded cannon. While setting up this combat cave we have discovered an underground area of Titanium. This we are keeping to ourselves and will be mined exclusively by Bell Mining personal.
#5	X 652 Y 431	Dr. Alfred Licter: Head Scientist Bell Mining: Overall the experience setting up the combat cave has benifited us both with our relationship with USC and with finding one of the few places for mining Titanium. All together a very successful venture.

With the solar event now quickly approaching she wants to be sure that Zhao Corp clones can all properly access their memory backups after the event so that they can come online quicker than the other clones from Bell.
#2	X 503 Y 508	Zhe Zhao: I have set up all the memory backup locations to be within Zhao Corp buildings. This will give us a great advantage over Bell which I have gratiously given the ability to host all blueprint machines in exchange.
#3	X 502 Y 501	Zhe Zhao: The plants we have developed in the biodomes have become a successful product that we can use in multiple projects. Mother has congratulated me for my success and has promised me a larger role in the company.
#4	X 494 Y 509	Zhe Zhao: I have been looking for my sister Wulong. She was supposed to be monitoring the eastern terraforming towers, but I have found out that she has gone to Bell's eastern mining area saying that she is doing some covert investigation for Mother. I am sending little brother Baogang to see what she is up to.
#5	X 508 Y 504	Zhe Zhao: My brother Zilong has asked me to accompany him to look into something in the east. It appears that it is something that USC has been working on. Our time on Mars is getting close to the solar event departure time.

#1	X 421 Y 473	Wulong Zhao: The terraforming towers have not allowed for any plant life, nor increased the oxygen levels. Using the new minerals that Bell is mining here on the planet and from the asteroids that are stricking the surface may allow us to increase the effectiveness of the towers. Right now only Bell can supply what we need to do this.
#2	X 419 Y 476	Wulong Zhao: I know my mother will never work with Bell, but I've talked with Andrew Bell and I think I can trust him. Between our two families I think we can turn the tide here on Mars, maybe not before the next solar event, but maybe when we return.
#3	X 415 Y 484	Wulong Zhao: I know my mother will object, but I'm thinking about going to Bell's eastern mining city to see if I can find Andrew. I now think it will be our only option if we ever wish to survive here.
#4	X 415 Y 488	Wulong Zhao: I have been hearing rumors that some of the AI in the far east region have been acting up. This appears to be slowing moving west. Something there appears to be making them act erratic. Will need to ask my brother Zilong if he knows more, tech is more of his thing.
#5	X 412 Y 491	Wulong Zhao: My little brother Baogang is trying my nerves, he keeps talking about the DCG being here on Mars. I don't see how they could have gotten here since Zhao and Bell have purchased the monopoly for access here on Mars from the USC.

#1	X 428 Y 489	Baogang Zhao: The Zhao and Bell companies have been competing with each other here on Mars since we first got here. Bell Mining specializes in mining and industrial tech whereas we at Zhao specialize in biology and natural sciences. The USC has the computer tech, but for the most part leaves us on our own to do our research.
#2	X 427 Y 483	Baogang Zhao: My brothers and my sister think that just because I'm younger that I'm not as smart as them. Well I know they don't know anything about the other group that I've found here on Mars. I've found signs that the DCG is here on Mars. I think there are more than one of them here too.
#3	X 424 Y 481	Baogang Zhao: I know many things that my brother and sister don't. I'm small so people don't notice me much, but I notice them. Mother says she don't trust the Bell's, then why is she working with them? I've heard her talking with them on the coms, she doesn't notice me listening.
#4	X 423 Y 490	Baogang Zhao: I've been listening to some of the scientists. I think they are working with my mother to create enhanced clone shells that they are looking to place memories from humans into. What is my mother thinking? This is all very illegal.
#5	X 408 Y 486	Baogang Zhao: The computer progammers are all talking in whispers. They appear to think that the main USC system called Mother is starting to do things that were never programmed. Is Mother becoming self aware? This doesn't sound good.

Zhao tech has been helping to terraform the local environment, but without the mechanical tech from Bell I don't see us being able to make additional progress. If we could only join forces with Bell we both could survive here.
#2	X 587 Y 514	Wulong Zhao: The Eastern terraforming tower is working at the same rate as the northern one. I'm looking to go and talk with Andrew now. Hopefully joining our tech together will allow us to push the towers to full strength. Looking forward to seeing him again, I'm starting to think he may be the only one I can really trust on this planet.
#3	X 567 Y 420	Baogang Zhao: I have arrived at the North Eastern Tower. My sister Wulong has been here but has left. Things here appear to be running, but I don't know how well.
#4	X 569 Y 420	Baogang Zhao: I'm looking to go to the eastern town, hopefully I'll find my sister there. The eastern tower is near the Bell mining city. I don't trust them.
#5	X 569 Y 424	Baogang Zhao: Just received word that my brothers are going to the crater to look into something that the USC is doing. I've been recalled by my mother to go now to the west terraforming tower to see if it is in the same shape as this one. I won't be able to meet with my sister now in the east tower. Hopefully things are better there than this tower.

#2	X 491 Y 342	Lilly Bell: I think that something is up with my brother Andy and that Zhao girl. If father ever found out I don't see him putting up with it. The Zhao's are our competitors, you won't see me working with Zilong Zhao. None of them are to be trusted.
#3	X 484 Y 342	Lilly Bell: I have heard from father that he is working on something in a secret underground base in the west. He says it could be the answer to our personel problems with upgraded clones and clone tech. With a solar flare coming soon this could prove to be very useful. It should give Bell an advantage against the Zhao's here on planet.
#4	X 495 Y 338	Lilly Bell: Things have been going wrong throughout all sectors. Communications are now all down and I don't know if the last shuttles will be able to land to evac us. Haven't heard from my brother, wondering if he was able to get off in time.
#5	X 486 Y 336	Lilly Bell: Father has called to tell me to bunker in place. I'm looking to use our emergency protocol that father set up and upload my memories.
