Because of the way they've hooked into old colony systems to improve their local comms, RUNNERS have figured out a way to mimic a UESC distress signal. Using colony access points to send a coded message that triggers a UESC crisis drop, a RUNNER or CREW can intercept the UESC response if they can reach the drop point without too many distractions [read: rivals RUNNERS or any other threat or opportunity that may pop up]. • LOCATE a REGION with active colony access points • LOCATE main access point • NOTE numbered code on access point • FIND corresponding access point • TRIGGER mimic signal • REACH drop point before UESC realize • DAMAGE Crisis container under dropship • LOOT Crisis container • And survive UESC compliment • SUCCESS! REMARK: Better to lay in wait than show up late. =================================================================== [RNNRqterm] || CyberAcme Systems, Inc. ///REDACTED///
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.
