The AR-infected-tech runs to the Pre-CR colony command terminal and infects it (or, the command terminal was already infected and when the tech came for maintenance, became infected by targetContact who was Pre-CR colonist).

A tech (possibly targetContact) goes down to see what happened and gets big! contaminated. They move their massive machines they had been using to receive supplies into the AR cavern for storage. is aggressively taken over by another company and they race to delete all their data out of spite, including the location to Adamantine Colony.Īdamantine Colony realizes they are not receiving any more supply runs and they are abandoned. Adamantine Colony only receives a few supply runs before Adamantine Co. send people and invest really heavily into this colony. Build their colony next to the Pre-CR one.Īdamantine Co. They seal the shit out of the remnant and try to stay optimistic. It's main purpose was mining and they find the AR cavern built by Pre-CRs. Were we told how old the Pre-CR colony actually was? We know Adamantine landed 37 CR years before B-E, but I don't think we were explicitly told how old the Pre-CR colony was.Īdamantine Corporation finds it, establishes a CR-Colony (I'll just call it Adamantine). It had already been trying to escape but had no shuttle to modify. Small theory: the AR spend a ton of time trying to engineer faster traveling methods, hence its "modification" to ART's engine. AR can't get anywhere without wormhole travel. Ore-CR colonists die out or fight amongst themselves to the death or whatever.

I think Pre-CR because it linked to the older, shitty tech? How else would it have controlled non-augmented people unless it had the augmented pre-CR colonists start building the implants? I am unclear if targetContact is Pre-CR colonist or Adamantine. They get contaminated by AR and start compulsively building the ribcage structure. They are lost or abandoned or maybe presumed self-sufficient enough to not need help. Pre-CR Colony lands, builds on top of the old Alien Remnant (AR). This is gonna be long because I have no one to talk to about MB yet. I'm going to write a timeline of events and correct me or elaborate please. I know it's vague relatively on purpose, but I haven't been able to find another post really explaining it and my brain is just 10% too dumb to understand on its own. I need some more clarity on the ending and what exactly happened to the Pre-CR colony, Adamantine, and Barish-Estranza with the alien remnant Just finished Network Effect and man, I cannot stop gushing about Murderbot to everyone I know.
