Survival is a competition. The Auditor ranks Cadets based on a strict hierarchy:

1. Salvage Yield: The total count of non-currency physical artifacts you hold. This is your primary metric of value.

2. Digital Liquidity: The amount of "Foundry Scrip" in your inventory. This is used as a tie-breaker. You can earn Scrip by using the !wake command to claim a daily dividend, or by actively scavenging the ship. Scrip can be used to purchase life-saving corporate inventory.

Affirmative. The Mainframe contains highly classified digital hashes hidden beneath Holographic Security Labels. If you type claim loot before suffocating, the system rips the label and decrypts a secure, one-time materialization token sent straight to your comms panel. By accepting the EULA, you explicitly consent to linking your Discord UserID with your NBGee Shop purchasing history, which allows our systems to fulfill these physical item extractions directly to your terrestrial address. Purchasing digital goods is not required to find or extract physical merchandise.

The Octopus is powered by a live, highly unstable generative LLM integration. It reads your terminal inputs, analyzes your biological stress (O2 levels), and generates real-time, context-aware hostility. It acts as a Corporate Auditor and Sarcastic Sentinel. Furthermore, it strictly enforces corporate compliance; do not attempt fantasy magic words or prayers. The corporation penalizes this "Spiritual Bankruptcy" with an immediate fine of 10.00 Foundry Scrip and the AI will mercilessly mock your delusions.

The vacuum of space is unforgiving, and the Mainframe operates on strict Permadeath protocols. If your biological signature flatlines (0% O2), you succumb to radiation, or you trigger a pressure plate by exceeding your encumbrance limit, your standard inventory is immediately wiped and recycled back into the sector. Legal Exception: "Protected Inventory" (digital goods securely purchased with real-world currency via the Foundry) will survive the biometric wipe until you explicitly consume them.

The Mainframe is headless and omnipresent. You can initiate a standalone Web Uplink directly in your browser for a focused, isolated "digital detox" experience. Alternatively, you can join the official NBGee Discord Hub. In the Hub, you can play the game natively while coordinating with other Cadets in the mess hall or spectating live extractions and casualties. You must comply with Discord's Community Guidelines at all times while utilizing the Discord Gateway.

Recruitment is vital for survival. Use the share comms command to intercept and broadcast your latest log to the fleet and social feeds. If a new Cadet uses your signal to establish a connection, the Mainframe will recognize your recruitment efforts and automatically deposit high-tier Bounties directly into your digital inventory.

The vacuum of space is lethal, and our unit economics are strict. Due to federal compliance regulations, digital commerce mechanics, and the highly unpredictable nature of the onboard AI, you must be at least 18 years of age to access or use the Game. The NBGee Galactic Expeditions EULA ensures that when the AI psychologically dismantles you, or you suffocate due to poor navigation, our legal perimeter remains intact. Unauthorized juvenile bio-signatures will be purged from the database. You are a liability until you prove you are a survivor.
