Conversation 1158: DOOMED / RADIOCOMPUTER

RADIOCOMPUTER -- WIRRAL UNTETHERED! HEAT DEATH!

How to use this page:

This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files. Entries often contain written dialogue, as well as conditional logic governing their appearance to the player. They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

Column definitions:
  • ID: a numerical index for the entry within this conversation.
  • Character: the character speaking or acting.
  • Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
  • Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
  • Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

39 Mainframe Fortress Accident employed 18 people, the bulk of the team composed of writers and concept artists. There were also radio programmers, sound engineers, a CEO, two marketing experts...
  • 87
40 You Wait, why did a *radio game* need so many artists?
  • 41
41 Mainframe It didn't.
  • 42
42 You It didn't need so many concept artists?
  • 43
43 Mainframe No, definitely not. A few more producers could have come handy though -- especially when dealing with writers, some of whom routinely skipped work because of 'mental health issues' and extremely unprofessional sleep schedules...

  • 3
134 You Oh, so they were done in by their own ambition.
  • 135
135 Mainframe No. Even then success remained within an ever-narrowing margin of possibility that, despite everything, never entirely disappeared...
  • 158
136 You The what?
  • 138
137 You That sounds bad.
  • 168
138 Mainframe At the eleventh hour, the lead designer, Zsiemsk-born Sulisław Zawisza, decided that what 'Wirrâl Untethered' needed was a secret mystical location at the extreme edge of the map...
  • 159
139 You That's pretty bad. So that's what did them in?
  • 140
140 Mainframe Well, yeah. That, and the catastrophic data loss.
  • 141
  • 395
141 You The what now?
  • 142
142 Mainframe On the nature of the data loss, there's ominously little information in the production log. It comes at the very end, where things get fuzzy and dark, where tables and numbers seem to vanish into an eerie nothingness, before their Igaunijan investor pulled the plug...
  • 160
143 You And the anomaly caused all the data to get lost in the air?
  • 144
144 Mainframe When the project was returned, it was completely blank.
  • 145
145 Mainframe The team spent weeks on the phone with Lintel, the service provider, but despite their diagnostics they could never produce a satisfactory explanation or pay for the loss.
  • 200
  • 146
146 You Wasn't there a copy of the game, a *backup*?
  • 147
147 Mainframe Mysteriously enough, it seems that the off-site copy happened to be *on-site* when the catastrophic data loss occurred...
  • 161
148 Mainframe S. Luukanen-Kilde, the lead programmer of Fortress Accident: "The off-site copy was on-site because there was no *off-site* anymore, not for me, not after eight months of crunch."
  • 398
149 Mainframe "Still haven't gotten an answer from Lintel about what happened. All I could get were the physical coordinates of the error on the East-Insulindian front on that day. Since the computation happened on-air, I reckoned it had to coincide with an actually existing location..."

  • 37
154 You How many heads were there?
  • 155
155 Mainframe So many. At last count there were approximately 10,000 heads for 10,000 headless men, all of which could be endlessly recombined.
  • 177
  • 139
156 Mainframe "I have compared the coordinates to a map of Revachol West. Turns out it's only 800 metres from here. The address is Saint-Brune 1147. I am going there to look this thing in the eye..."
  • 451
157 Mainframe They couldn't.
  • 165
  • 134
158 Mainframe That is, until they discovered the Valley of the Heads.
  • 136
  • 137
159 Mainframe This place was to be the *Valley of the Heads* -- where the heads of all the *headless* constructs could be found. The player would have been able to choose a head for their headless party member, and each head would been voiced on-air by a professional actor.
  • 175
  • 154
160 Mainframe What is clear is that one day an unidentified numeric anomaly occurred on the East-Insulindian Lintel front, just as the 'Wirrâl Untethered' project was being compiled that day.
  • 143
  • 198
161 Mainframe It was the lead programmer's responsibility to oversee weekly maintenance of the off-site copy and, well, keep it off-site. An explanatory note from the lead programmer has been attached.
  • 162
162 You What does it say?
  • 148
163 You Because of the concept artists? Variable["doomed.radiocomputer_logic_concept_artists"] == true
  • 164
164 Mainframe No, not the concept artists. It wasn't even the writers, with their panic attacks and three-hour lunches...
  • 95
165 You I could have bridged the gap.
  • 166
166 Volition No, you couldn't have.
  • 169

173 Volition Not a chance.
  • 174
174 Mainframe Even then, success remained within an ever-narrowing margin of possibility that, despite everything, never entirely disappeared...
  • 158
175 You This is some insane shit. Who were these people?
  • 176
176 Mainframe The world had never seen their kind before and might never again.
  • 154
177 You How many combinations could you make out of that?
  • 178
178 Mainframe Do you really want to know? There seems to be a calculation here, but it may take a while...
  • 179
  • 180
179 You Yeah, how bad could it be?
  • 182
180 You No, let's not go there.
  • 181
