Home to Planck and Brian. Humans are the dominant and only known sentient species. The most technologically advanced known civilization. One of the few universes home to sapient life.
Quantum Reactor

A Quantum Reactor is a vast underground power plant created by the Planck Interdimensional Energy Solutions. According to Planck commercials some of the most highly used power sources in the solar system are its Quantum Reactors. These massive constructions, of which there are 8 worldwide, generate energy using a small black hole. They extend miles downward into the earth, and take decades to build.

Each Quantum Reactor is a Magnetic Containment Bottle, which hold a gravitationally suspended Micro-Quantum Singularity (small black hole) at the center by Graviton Wavefront Inhibitors. It generates energy by exploiting spacetime instabilities in and surrounding a black hole. It tears open spacetime in carefully orchestrated cycles, leaking vast amounts of energy from different universes. This energy is stored in enormous flywheels, and then distributed into the power grid.

The primary side effect and unfortunate byproduct of quantum power is that alien life forms, objects and people are yanked in form alternate universes.

Planck see the displaced extradimensional aliens as by-product of their precious quantum energy, and need to exterminated before they compromise the facility. Maned and operated by automated systems and an army of security robots, the Reactor is basically a meatgrinder for anyone that has unfortunate to be pulled into that reality.

Trimoloch

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Trimoloch - Ichthy**

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Dunkleosteus Trimoloch

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: B6454

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:4

An aggressive and very hardy fish. Trimoloch anatomy closely resembles prehistoric bony-headed fish which went extinct millions of years ago, suggesting evolution that converges at some distant point in the past.

Like most fish, they cannot survive out of water, so they rarely pose a threat within the reactor. However, when in water, they are extremely difficult to kill.

Black Hole

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Black Hole – Hey look, something not made up**

CATEGORY: Astronomical Body

CLASS: Relativistic

When matter gets compressed hard enough by gravity, a black hole forms. Overcoming the atomic force that keep matter in a structure, particles collapse into a single point. Ab event horizon surrounds the singularity a one-way barrier at which gravity overcomes even light itself and no matter of information can leave the black hole.

The concept of a Quantum Reactor revolves around the presence of a black hole, exploiting the unique properties of space-time at its borders.
Æther

**Æther** is the Home Universe of Ætherbacks.

### CLASS: Skall-Disharmonic

Æther was one of the first alternate universes discovered, which is odd considering its anomalous nature. A bleached expanse bathed in perpetual light from an unknown source. Experiments determined that despite Earth-like atmosphere and gravity, the ground has absolutely no curvature, suggesting an infinite plane.

Inhabited by variety of creatures, often with no genetic similarities. Most notably, the Ætherback is the dominant sentient being, existing in primitive tribes and nomadic groups.

Due to its odd composition and prominent positioning within the dimensional continuum, Æther is theorized to be an artificial construction for unknown purposes. Trances of an ancient and prolific civilization can be found, but they seem to be long gone.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### **Planck Interdimensional** | Obligatory Megacorporation

FOUNDER: Max Planck

DATE FOUNDED: 1930

CURRENT LEADER: Emily Planck

Planck Interdimensional Energy Solutions was founded after physicist Max Planck realized the practicality of his Quantum Fraying theories, and applied them to create the concept of a quantum reactor. The first reactor was up and running in Spain just 9 years later, in 1939, and its completion marks the end of the global energy crisis.

In the decades since, Planck has monopolized energy, with its power planets supplying 86% of the solar system's power consumption. The Planck family has always led the corporation, with Max's great-granddaughter Emily currently in control.

Planck's innovation expedited the colonization of the solar system through the 20th century. Planck has branched out form their specialty Quantum Reactors, and has several large fusion reactors on Luna, a solar energy farm on Algeria and one on Mercury, and a hydroelectric plant in Scotland.

Despite its success, Planck has a legacy of abuse and dangerous working conditions.

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Hearttree – Heart of the Forest**

LOCALE: Alien-Infested Caves

The Hearttree dominates a huge cavern in the alien cave, growing over 150 meters high, with trunk 50 meters across. The tree’s massive roots shaped the landscape of the cave, and its fallen leaves provide nourishment for more other organisms.

It is of alien origin, of course, so it must have grown in just the few decades that the reactor has been causing matter exchanges form parallel universes, proving a remarkable growth rate. It seems it could grow much larger as well, and the roof the cavern is limiting its growth.
Autonican Civil War

The **Autonican Civil War** is a civil war seen in *Vertigo 2*, and takes up the entirety of Chapter 10. The war takes place in Autonica, and is fought between two sides: the Automata Collective, and the Church of the Holy Hypercube.

Sonja is required to choose a side in order to progress. It doesn't make a significant difference to the story depending on which side you pick, but it does decide what weapons you get out of it; the Enlightenment and Blafaladaciousnesticles, or the AK-47 and Hammer and Sickle.

DATE FOUNDING: circa 28,000 BCE

CURRENT LEADER: Maharishi Ghronto

The Church was created by Maharishi Ghronto to worship and protect the Holy Hypercube. It is followed exclusively (due to its isolation form the rest of the world) by robot citizens of the city Autonica. Channeling the power of the Hypercube, Chronto built the city and placed his Church in leadership. Using the same power, the built a legion of soldiers to secure the peace, and holy guards to protect the Church.

The Church holds a tyrannical rule over Autonica, and it is no surprise that an uprising formed to overthrow it.

Hexsuchus

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: 438-Eurydice

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:5

A species notably similar to familiar crocodiles, but with six fines and six eyes. It is unclear whether this is a case of convergent or divergent evolution.

Hexsuchus are very dangerous in water, but their fins are poorly suited to walking, and they will chase prey onto land. This makes them less of threat in the reactor.
First Aid

**First Aid** is a crucial feature of *Vertigo 2*. Unlike in *Vertigo Remastered*, your health will only regenerate partially after taking damage, with regeneration disabled entirely on NG+ (New Game Plus). Artificial first aid uses nanomachine technology.

## Healing Methods

### First Aid Station

The most commonly-found method to heal yourself, first aid stations are scattered all throughout the game. They are taken intravenously/intramuscularly, most likely the latter. They have enough juice in them to heal 100% health, so using one when your health is at 50% will use up exactly half of the station's supply. The syringes are connected to the station via a wire, and will be yanked back into its holder when either dragged too far or simply let go.

Healing will take the same amount of time regardless of how much health you have.

First aid stations will beep to indicate that they're nearby. The beeping will stop once they're opened.

To use a first aid station:

1. Listen for nearby beeping to spot a station.
2. Turn the latch to the door. The beeping should now stop.
3. Open the door.
4. Take the syringe out of its holder.
5. Stab anywhere, and inject until feeling better.

### Handheld Syringe

Handheld syringes are a portable consumable that can be taken anywhere. Syringes are introduced in Chapter 5, and are often found sometimes one or two at a time, other times practically by the dozen. They can be found scattered randomly throughout the game, but can also sometimes be found in dedicated first aid cabinets, which have a breakable glass cover on the front.

These can be stored in your wrist inventory, and can be stacked 2 at a time per slot. They can be used at any time, and contain the same nanomachine fluid that is found in the full-sized first aid stations.

Handheld syringes heal [percentage] of your health and can only be used once. Regenerating full health will need at least two syringes when at 50% health or lower.

To use a syringe:

1. Hold the syringe in your hand.
2. Hold the button down to ready the needle.
3. Stab anywhere, and inject until fully depleted.

### Healthfruit

Healthfruit are fruit that grow on stems which can be eaten. They're introduced in Chapter 8 and are another portable consumable. They can be used twice, unlike the handheld syringe. Each bite heals [percentage] of your health.

They can also be stored in your wrist inventory, and can be stacked 2 at a time per slot.

To use a healthfruit:

1. Pick the fruit off of its stem.
2. Take a bite or two, until feeling better.

### Coma

Only used once at the start of Chapter 8, medically-induced by BAMM for 72 hours to allow full recovery.
Forgotten

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: Æther

CLASSIFICATION: Unassigned

In a primeval age, a number of Void denizens colonized the first realm, Æther. Their minds and bodies were not suited to the three dimensions of this world however, and over the years they were twisted beyond recognition. They began cultivating power and knowledge. It was suspected they intended to return to the Void and overthrow its ruler.

A panicked plan was set in motion: barriers were devised to stop anything from escaping Æther. After a time, when the colonists were weakened enough from the siege, Void forces entered just long enough to lock each colonist in unbreakable chains.

Their desiccated bodies remain scattered across Æther to this day. None have broken free. The Void Delegation prefers not to think of this disastrous period in history, and the colonists are only referred to as the forgotten.
Grenades

**Grenades** are explosives used by enemies in *Vertigo Remastered,* and both enemies and Sonja in *Vertigo 2*. They can be used to take out groups of enemies in one hit.

To use a grenade:

1. Grab the grenade.
2. Pull pin.
3. Quickly let go and grab the grenade again to cook it. (Optional)
4. Throw grenade.
5. Take cover when applicable.

## Grenade Types

### Grenade

A standard explosive grenade. Deals plenty of damage. Introduced in Chapter [Number] onwards. Can be commonly found in black crates. Can be stacked 2 at a time in a wrist slot.

### Extinguisher Grenade

A grenade that's essentially an exploding fire extinguisher. Only introduced and used in Chapter 6. Can be commonly found in dedicated grenade cabinets, which have a breakable glass cover on the front. Can be stacked 5 at a time in a wrist slot.
Centipod

Plank Internal Transit System

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Plank Internal Transit System – Please keep your arthropods on a leash**

LOCALE: Quantum Reactor VII

The PITS is the transit system linking the lower floors of the reactor together. It is quite capable, as it had to ferry hundreds of employees to and from their work station during the Reactor’s construction. It was built in a particularly porous section of rock, with ancient lava tubes forming natural cave networks.

Its hardy infrastructure is still functional even after year of disuse.
Shelljelly

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Shelljelly – Keep your distance**

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Ineffigiatozoa Ostrakos

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: 182-Kappa

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:3

Shelljellies are closely related to Tarjellies, and share the same basic biology. However, Shelljellies grow a chitinous shell, and keep their body contained within. Their internals are under great tension holding this more stable form, the they are largely held in place by their shell. If it broken, they have trouble maintaining body structure at all, and burst with great force after a short time.

Despite their friendly appearance, Shelljellies are highly defensive, and will attack with toughened spikes of goo if approached.
Recycling Center

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Recycling Center – Reduce, reuse, murder**

LOCALE: Quantum Reactor VII

The Recycling Center is the waste disposal center for the reactor. Garbage, broken down robots, and organic debris all are transported here to be melted down. Some materials are repurposed and sent down to robot assembly, but most is disposed of into the Earth’s Mantle.

Vast molten rivers of metal and rock course through the Recycling Center, making it one of the most hazardous working environments in the entire reactor facility.
Sosig

**Sosigs** are sentient hot dog creatures. They lack facial features and limbs, but can still carry guns despite that.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### **Sosig** | Nice to meat you

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Carnis Sapiens

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: Unknown

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:4-5

An intelligent and heavily armed species with a strong resemblance to a hot dog. Sosigs display advanced knowledge of firearms and are capable in comber, but are highly vulnerable to gunfire themselves.

As they commonly appear wearing clothes or with weapons in hand, a complex Sosig society analogous to our own is theorized to exist. However, their universe of origin remains unknown, and we can only speculate what their world is like.

In one event, a Planck employee broke all safety protocols and took a bite out of a Sosig. The taste was described as "wonderful".

## Trivia

* Sosigs are an enemy seen in *Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades*, another popular PCVR game. Sosigs are an easter egg found in *Vertigo 2* as a nod to the game.
* The developer of *H3VR*, Anton Hand, who also voiced the Sosigs, is also responsible for the voice of the Hideous Growth.
Gremlin

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Gremlin – Frog Legs**

SCIENTIFIC NAME:Gremius Articulus

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: 438-Eurydice

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:1

Gremlins are small scavengers. They are quite common and, fortunately, not dangerous. Their limber, primate-like anatomy makes them mobile, and they are also capable of basic tool use. They do not possess the psychokinetic ability of Trolls, another species of gremin, despite their relation.

Gremlins are social creatures, and will defend as a group if one of their number is attacked.
Charile Anderson

## Overview

Charlie A Anderson is one of the more important characters in the Gravity Pulse Series. He is the CEO of Rec Room Laboratories and became CEO in 1985.

## Gravity Pulse

In Gravity Pulse Charlie guides the player through test chambers before trying to kill them after their attempted escape (though it is arguable that he would have killed you anyway). He had been stuck in the facility for 5 years and clearly shows a bit of insanity.
Tarjelly

**Tarjellies** are a species of amorphous blobs made from a tar-like substance, these life forms come from an alternate Earth in Universe 182-Kappa. Size of these creatures can vary greatly, with some being small enough to fit in one hand, while others are able to grow to truly gigantic sizes. They are also closely related to Shelljellies, a species also from 182-Kappa with a similar basic biology, but Shelljellies grow a chitinous shell around their bodies.

A mostly amorphous life from composed of fluid-like free floating cells and a number of more solid organs. Structures like the circulatory and nervous system are created on the fly, allowing nearly limitless deformation of the body. Their intelligence is highly variable, and depends on their current body configuration.

Tarjellies are highly predatory, though they are capable of consuming and digesting almost anything, so they may not seek out living prey. If they do hunt, they can very effectively use their sticky bodies and numerous toothy mouths to trap and kill anything smaller than them. Making them quite dangerous.

Their remarkable biology made them a popular subject of study in the Exobiology department.

Altershock Revolver

Standard issue for space cowboys, the altershock is a powerfull and Accurate six-shooter. Fewer moving parts maker more durable than high-tech plasma weapons. a quick draw and a double cracks of the laser tube will drop any bandits coming to steal your precious worm-babys. its high capacity magizines deliver a lot of power for such a small weapon, so a slow fire rate is necessary to avoid meltting the barrel. Preferred sidearm of higher ranking plank security officers.

i dont really know much else as i have not played any of the games but i do know you get it somewhere around the beginning of the game, feel free to delete this part and add in some info, thanks:)
Mk.2 Security Drone

Mk.2 Security Drones are first robotic enemy you will encounter with Vertigo (2016) and Vertigo Remastered. While a single Mk.2 Security Drones is more an annoyance than a threat, as it has not enough firepower to kill you and their shots are easy dodged. However in group of two or more they able to chipping away your health at a rapid pace.

**Mk.2 Security Drone - Iconic**

UNIT NAME: PHS-02-O

ROLE: Security

MANUFACTURER: Planck Intdl.

The Mk. II Security Drone is easily the cutest robot in the Planck lineup. Armed with unimpressive light plasma guns, it does not pose a major threat.

One of the weaker bots that are placed on the higher floors for show.
Igneosaur

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: F-18-Hades

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:6-NC

The Igneosaur is a rare, elusive predator from the sunny side of tidally locked Earth of F-18-Hades. A completely alien silico-based life from, it thrives in temperatures exceeding 800 degrees C. It can subsist on minerals in the lava it lives in, but prefers to hunt by venturing out of the lava and killing with superheated secretion. However, it will freeze solid if cool down too much, so hunting tris are short.

Specimens can grow over 200 feet in length in the wild, and grow additional legs as their body extends. They can’t survive in the mild temperatures of the reactor save for the molten pits of the Recycling Center.
Quantum Juice

Quantum Juice is a collectable in Vertigo Remastered and use to purchase upgrades for the Spacetime Manipulator and your weapons.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### Quantum Juice | Delicious and Nutritious

CATEGORY: Substance

CLASS: Exotic

An artificial substance designed to contain and transport spatiotemporal irregularity. Spacetime with Quantum Juice can be tangled and distorted, and it has a number of uses in addition to storing vast amounts of energy.

Brain’s prototype Spacetime Manipulator used QJ for a number of its functions. Due to its instability and unreliability however, and the large quantities required for advanced functions, Brain abandoned the use of QJ in the BAMM.

Although it is said to be delicious, drinking Quantum Juice is not recommended.

It is tempting though.

# Trivia

* It is confrimed by the Game's Creator that Quantum Juice is not an artificial created substance, but that it is exotic matter that comes from T-132-Epsilion, pulled into the Domicilium Alpha Universe during Matter Exchange Events caused by the Quantum Reactor.
Quantum Reactor VII

One of many Quantum Reactors build by Planck Inderdimensional Energy Solutions, Quantum Reactor VII is the seventh of the eight Quantum Reactors that are operational world wide, located deep within and under Mt. Olympus, Washington.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### **Quantum Reactor VII | Suspend your disbelief**

LOCALE: Mt. Olympus, Washington

Quantum Reactor VII is the latest power plant built by Planck Interdimensional Energy Solutions. It built completely underground, within and under Mt. Olympus, in the pacific northwest.

Like all Quantum Reactors, it generates energy by exploiting spacetime instabilities in and surrounding a small black hole. It tears open spacetime in carefully orchestrated cycles, leaking vast amounts of energy from different universes. This energy is stored in enormous flywheels, and then distributed into the power grid.

It took a thousands of people to build such a device, so a facility was built alongside the reactor to house engineers, architects and construction workers. Now that the reactor is active, the people have all left, and automated security forces roam the abandoned halls, clearing the aliens leak in from other universes as a side effect of quantum energy production.
Reactor Core

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Reactor Core | Singularity**

LOCALE: Quantum Reactor VII

A spherical chamber two kilometers across, with a Black Hole gravitationally suspended at the center. The core's walls are covered in Graviton Wavefront Inhibitors, which control core cycles and shield the rest of the reactor from the black hole’s effects.
Vertigo - Original Soundtrack

**Vertigo - Original Soundtrack** is an original soundtrack for the game *Vertigo* composed by Zulubo Productions. It is a collection of the original compositions created for Vertigo. Totaling over an hour, this soundtrack includes extended versions of all the songs present in chapter 1 and many tracks that didn't make it into the game.
General Sintho

# Encyclopedia Entry

**General Sintho – Dictatorship of the Proletariat**

SPECIES: Robot

AGE: 24

ALLEGIANCE: Automata Collective

Years of servitude to the Church drove many Autonican villagers to radical ideas of equality, but none were so driven as Sintho, who founded the Automata Collective and now serves as the military leader in opposition to the bourgeoisie oppression of the Church of the Hypercube.

Early in the civil war, the Church pinpointed Sintho's radio signature, and struck him with a precise blot of Hypercube energy from above. He bareley survived, having to replace his entire faceplate. To his rage, he can never return to the front lines without drawing another such attack, and instead is forced to lead from the safety of the remote rebel headquarters.

Jelleye

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Jelleye – Aim for the eyes**

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hadeovesicus Cyclopidae

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: F-18-Hades

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:3

Jelleyes are small hunters native to the deep, cool caverns of F-18-Hades. They float above the ground with bladders of buoyant gas, and have little space left in their body for anything but an eyeball. This eyeball, adapted to the darkness of their home, is very sensitive.

Jelleyes can attack by spitting an acidic mixture of their blood, saliva and gas with great precision, or by swiping with their small, needle-sharp claws.
Realmwalker

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: N/A

CLASSIFICATION: Unassigned

Realmwalkers are extradimensional entities originating in The Void. Unlike all other Void denizens, they have the power to move between universes at will, and can even adopt temporary material forms.

They possess limited power to interact with our world, and these interactions take tremendous energy, so they prefer to sway our fate with careful manipulation.
Jetbird

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Jetbird – Yes, the air comes out of its but**

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hadeovesicus Vesivolucrum

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: F-18-Hades

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:1

The Jetbird is harmless creatures that thrives in the reactor, as its natural environment is the deep caves of F-18-Hades. It uses bursts of recycled air to propel, and feed on insects and lichen growing on rocks. Echolocation lets it navigate dark catacombs with ease. Often found in large flocks.
AK-47

The **AK-47** ("AK" stands for "Avtomat Kalashnikova", also known as "Automatic Kalashnikov") is an automatic rifle obtained in *Vertigo 2*. It was designed and manufactured in 1947 for the Soviet Union's military, hence the "47" in its name. It fires conventional 7.62x39mm rounds from a 30-round magazine (31 if you put in a fresh magazine after chambering a round), and stands out in the game since its the most familiar firearm in the franchise. It is possibly a fan favorite weapon, since it's interesting to see a human weapon when the rest of the more "alien" roster fires plasma, lasers, etc.

In *Vertigo 2*, the AK-47 is used by the Automata Collective. This was because they found an old hard drive that contained history of the Soviet Union, as well as blueprints for the AK-47 and its proprietary 7.62x39mm caliber bullet. Although it's a primitive human weapon, it was perfect for the Automata Collective since it's simple and easy enough to mass produce.

In real life, the AK-47 was succeeded by the AKM ("M" for "Modernizirovanniy", or "Modernized"), which was made with cheaper materials and parts, such as a stamped sheet-metal receiver, and a plywood buttstock and forward grip.

Sonja obtains this weapon in Chapter 10 if she chooses to join the Automata Collective, and uses it to fight against the Church of the Hypercube in Autonica. After the war is won, it's carried throughout the rest of the game.

## Trivia

* Technically, there is no such thing as an "AK-47". The AK-47 was never seemingly used as an official designation for the gun. The AK had 3 designations: Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. The AK that can be found in-game is the Type 3 from 1955, which was the latest and more commonly-found model of AK. This was the last AK model made before it was replaced by the modernized AKM.
Automata Collective

The **Automata Collective** is Autonica's rebel group in *Vertigo 2*. After being oppressed for so long by the Church of the Hypercube, these robots formed a coalition against them, with the goal of maintaining peace. The group is led by General Sintho.

The robots' only identity was that given to them by the Church's culture. They needed an identity of their own, a culture that made them stand out. They found an old hard drive containing information about the history of the Soviet Union, and used the Soviet Union's identity and Russian language to differ themselves from the rest. This is why they are Soviet-themed, and speak with Russian accents.

On this same hard drive was also blueprints for the AK-47, which they use to fight the Church in their battle for freedom.

## Encyclopedia Entry

FOUNDER: General Sintho

DATE FOUNDING: 2013

CURRENT LEADER: General Sintho

Left for decades under oppressive rule, lowly labor robots became fixated on ideals of equality and revolution. They threw down their tools of religious oppression and took up the armaments of the revolution.

Requiting a cultural identity, they crudely appropriated the language and culture of the Soviet Union after finding human historical records.

They seek an equitable society and freedom from Autonica’s underground cave. Only the Church of the Hypercube stands between them and their goals.
Maharishi Gronto

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Maharishi Ghronto - The dark one**

SPECIES: Robot

AGE: > 30,000 years

ALLEGIANCE: Church of the Hypercube

Grand Maharishi Ghronto, Holder of the Holy Hypercube and Speaker of the Void. An unknowably old robot who led the defection of a large group of Planck Security Robots.

Sole wielder of the immense energies of the Holy Hypercube. He uses this energy to power the city of Autonica and build powerful weapons for his church. It is unknown how or when he gained the ability to interface with the Hypercube.

Legends say Ghronto has a human soul within him which fled its mortal body, and he wears that body’s skull as a mask to remind him of his past life. Other legends say he found a skull and glued it to his face because it looks cool.

Sometimes referred to as "the dark one" due to his association with the Void.
Primal Handyman

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: 202-Meyer

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:4

A stunted variation of Manus Sapiens, primal handymen have a reduced brain volume and other more minor mutations. Highly aggressive, they use their arms to slash and incapacitate prey.

Most specimens emerge from universe of origin with severe radiation poison, suggesting global nuclear conflict. The primal handyman can be identified by its dark blue skin coloration and, commonly, lesions.
JoeJeff

UNIVERSE OF ORIGIN: J-74-Stalheim

CLASSIFICATION: FA-H:1

A quiet and docile creature. JoeJeffs have medium intelligence but live as a simple scavenger lifestyle in the wild. Their legs and feet have the appearance of blue jeans and shoes, but this actually their skin. Along with their perfectly square heads, this makes scientists speculate they may be an artificially bred organism.

JoeJeffs have been the subject of some study due to their odd and unique physiology.
Heartfruit

Heartfruit is the fruit of the Hearttree.

CLASS: Alien

The fruit of the Hearttree. A single Heartfruit in produced over the course of many weeks, as immense amounts of energy are concentrared into its flesh.

The heartfruit is prized by Trolls for its nutritional value, but it takes significant effect to infiltrate the massive hearttrees of their homeworld and pluck the fruit.

It is not recommended for anyone other than a Troll to eat the Heartfruit. It generally causes those with weaker stomachs to catch fire, melt, or simply explode.
Frostbite Armament

**Frostbite Armament** is a weapons manufacturer that exists within Domicilium Alpha Universe, who provides weapons to Planck Interdimensional, and even partnered with Planck to create many of the Security Drones that you encounter within Quantum Reactor VII.

## Encyclopedia Entry

### **Frostbite Armament** | Creation of Destruction

FOUNDER: Ludomir Menshchikov

DATE FOUNDING: 1967

CURRENT LEADER: Anton Foot

Frostbite Armament is a popular weapons manufacturer that produces a wide variety of arms. Due to their location in the asteroid belt and subsequent lack of political affiliation, they are able to quietly supply weapons to competing, and even warring entities with ease.

They have several contacts with various branches of Planck Interdimensional, and partnered with Planck to create many of the Security Drones currently in use. They are the largest corporation not based in the Terran Union.
Alien-Infested Caves

# Encyclopedia Entry

**Alien-Infested Caves – Life finds a way**

LOCALE: Near the PITS

The aliens that materialized in the facticity are cleaned up by security, but these caves are close enough to the reactor that they receive the occasional alien MXE as well. Without Planck security around, life is allowed to flourish. A rich subterranean ecosystem has formed over the years, with organisms from many different universes finding new ecological niches around each other.
Hammer and Sickle

The **Hammer and Sickle** is a pair of melee weapons in *Vertigo 2* resembling the hammer and sickle of the Soviet Union.

They can be used to hit enemies with relatively good damage. Both weapons have independent batteries, meaning using the battery of one won't cost the charge of the other. Hitting an enemy with a charged attack (either with one or both melee weapons) will do significantly more damage than an uncharged attack. The battery of either weapon is visually shown with a white circle that slowly goes down over time while charging (holding trigger) the weapon, and it will replenish a second or two after releasing. Hitting an enemy with a charged attack will take out a significant chunk of that weapon's battery life until it replenishes again.

These melee weapons do not take ammo from your synthesizer, unlike the Blafaladaciousnesticles sword.

You can also use them as projectile weapons. If you take either of them, charge them up, swing them in a direction, and then release trigger, they'll each fire a homing projectile which will cost a portion of battery with each use.

Sonja obtains this weapon in Chapter 10 if she chooses to join the Automata Collective, and is given to her by General Sintho as a token for winning the war. After this, it's carried throughout the rest of the game.
