ANALYZING… FILE TYPE: Broadcast Message PERIOD: Present Day SPEAKERS: _gantry [ID: GANT] TOPIC: MIDA Manifesto SUMMARY: A recording provided by _gantry as a message to the UESC. =================================================================== [GANT]: Attention, all UESC. MIDA is memory. Earth. Luna. Mars. Now Tau Ceti. MIDA is scar tissue. Revival. Renewal. Rebirth. MIDA is vengeance. Resistance. Defiance. Riot. UESC controls the narrative, revisionist patch notes written by tyrants. Ask yourself: If 30,000 people die in a distant star system and no one's there to hear it, did they make a sound? [interference] [GANT]: MIDA is memory. Children of extinction events and corpo-authoritarian coups. MIDA is scar tissue. Mended bone. Gouged-out eye. MIDA is vengeance. The fire that can't stop burning. The fist that will never break. UESC controls the narrative. Watch the birdie. History written by tyrants. Corporate thought-rot. If mass tragedy becomes a glossy corporate holiday… is there anything to mourn? [interference] [GANT]: MIDA is memory! We are Earth, Luna, Mars, Tau Ceti! MIDA is scar tissue! A weed with roots so deep we can't be killed. We can't be killed! MIDA is vengeance! Screaming truth, ripped through your datajacks! Who controls the narrative? Who owns your thoughts? Who will kill the tyrants? Ask yourself! If the truth never gets told, is it still true? Is it true? Is it true? Is it true? =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [X]
About Codex in Marathon
The Codex is one of the most important progression systems in Marathon because it keeps track of the things that stay with your account over time. It covers achievements, collections, lore entries, cosmetics, titles, and other rewards tied to what you do in the game, and you can check it outside of your runs.
What makes the Codex stand out is that it is not just a lore menu. Marathon connects it to contracts, narrative items, and other in-game milestones, so the more you explore and complete, the more entries and rewards you unlock. It also carries over between seasons, even when things like gear, faction progression, contract progression, and player level reset.
