Nikolai Vavilov

**Vavilov Nikolai Ivanovich** is a character appearing in *Atomic Heart*.

## Biography

Nikolai Vavilov is a geneticist and botanist. He led botanical expeditions to Western Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America that have enabled him to identify the original sites of the morphogenesis of plants. Vavilov laid the foundation for the study of plant immunology and discovered the law of the homological series in the hereditary variation of organisms. He oversaw the creation of the world's greatest collection of cultivated plant seeds, created the system used by the Soviet government to test varieties of cultivated plants, and formulated the principles that now govern the activities of the country's primary agrarian sciences center.

Some time after World War II, Vavilov was arrested by Vladimir Nyukhov on orders of Joseph Stalin. Despite this, the two became close friends.

Now in charge of the Vavilov Complex, one of the greatest complexes of Facility 3826, Vavilov breeds new species of plants in order to expand our planet's agricultural potential and prepare for the ongoing plan to colonize outer space.

Lunar Soil - Top Secret

Date: April 3, 1955
From: Vavilov Complex Manager S. Vavilov
To: Vavilov Complex Assistant Manager V. Zolotukhin

Urgent! All the results of our experiments cultivating seeds in lunar soil are to be made secret, and all samples except for one are to be destroyed. Discussing or documenting what grew from the seeds during the experiment is prohibited.

Isolated samples are to receive Red 3 status and be transported to the Academy of Consequences in a sealed Polymer container. Come up with a plausible story about the results for employees.

P.S. We will most likely have to think long and hard about what we really know about our satellite.

Electro

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

The **Electro** is a weapon featured in *Atomic Heart*.

## Background

A reliable weapon that is included in the standard equipment of all Soviet cosmonauts. The Electro is a descendant of one of the first projects of Facility 3826’s Chelomey Design Department, a project that was based on energy pulses. Soon after spaceships had left Earth’s surface and taken humanity into a new era of conquering the expanses of space, it became clear that the space race would sooner or later lead to people encountering completely new territories. Thus, engineers were faced with the task of creating a non-lethal recoilless weapon for astronauts to defend themselves with and that could also efficiently take out the sensitive electronics in enemy spacesuits.

Robot Vulnerabilities

Date: March 12, 1955
From: Repair Crew Supervisor G. Rykspert
To: Security Manager V. Nyukhov

Please give the staff the following information at the meeting:
Attention junior engineers: in regard to the increasingly frequent incidents of Vovas getting stuck in an infinite loop (still under investigation), please remember to turn them off. Unlike worker robots, due to the nature of its design, the center of the lab tech robot's "nerve endings" is located in its "coccyx". In the event of a malfunction, carefully approach the robot from behind, insert a tool into its slot to interrupt the circuit, and call a technician.

The Raffiks are different — opening them up is strictly prohibited, since, if removed by a non-specialist, their power cells could detonate.
Snowball

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

The **Snowball** is a weapon featured in *Atomic Heart*.

## Background

In winter, the less well-brought-up children in Leningrad have a mischievous tradition: putting actual rocks into snowballs in order to take the neighbor kids out of the game for a long time. If you increase the effect of these rocks by about a thousand times, you get the Snowball.

It’s a huge pile driving hammer that is capable of driving a railway spike into the ground, or an enemy into a deep coma, in just one hit. It’s especially effective against groups of enemies who risk coming too close to the weapon’s wielder.

Its mace-like construction, which was literally taken from the pages of a history book about the Middle Ages, has been successfully fused with a polymeric alloy, turning the Snowball into the perfect weapon for a true battle on the ice.

It’d be interesting to glance through the pages of the Deimos OS network that the damaged Kollektiv 1.0 used as its instructions when assembling this weapon!
Ballerina

## Trivia

* The ballerina prototypes were used by Sechenov to create the Twins.
* According to CHAR-les, The Ballerina models were made for dance performances at the Maya Plisetskaya Theater until they were later adapted for sexual services. It is also implied that Polymer is used to enhance the appearance and texture of Ballerinas' body parts, such as the breasts or buttocks.

From: Museum Manager M. Yelizarova
To: Burav room terminal

Tour guides, please take note:
Remember that, unlike other devices manufactured at the Facility, Buravs are not sent abroad. But don't focus on this, and try to avoid related topics if you can.
By the same token, watch visitors very carefully and don't let them examine the device too closely or for too long. Photography is strictly prohibited.
When dealing with a foreign delegation, distract them with a game, show them slides of projects completed by Buravs, and make sure you don't give them time to examine the device directly.
Do not provide direct answers to questions of technical nature.
Soundtrack

The **Atomic Heart: Original Soundtrack** was released on February 20th, 2023. It features a total of 17 tracks performed by various artists, including DVRST, Geoffplaysguitar, and others.

## Notes

* Most of the official songs are broadcast by a device called the "Radio of the Future", which calculates radio waves from the future and transfer them to speakers and THOUGHT devices, some of them we're remixed exclusively for the game.
	+ A similar concept happens in the game BioShock Infinite where Albert Fink (brother of Jeremiah Fink) use the dimensional Tears to make "Magical Melodies" by stealing from other songs and past it on as his own, these songs included God Only Knows (The Beach Boys), Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper) and Tainted Love (Soft Cell).
Lyogkaya Hotel

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

The **Lyogkaya Hotel** is a resort located in the Mendeleev Complex for the workers of Facility 3826 as well as tourists. P-3 starts his journey here in the *Annihilation Instinct* DLC.

## Overview

The Lyogkaya Hotel served as a special resort for rest and relaxation, created to rejuvenate the staff of Facility 3826 with a large variety of activities, like nature strolls, dining, psychotherapy and entertainment. The "hotel rooms" are individual pod-shaped floating buildings, expanded in a sphere shaped room with walls almost completely lined with tv-screens to simulate a landscape, with the possibility to change weather conditions. Each "pod" is connected by a movable spiral pathways and beneath them is a large pool with fish and artificial beaches. Each hotel room has a glass dome with some sort of out door scenery with plants and a stairway down to the two story room. The standard rooms consist of a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom, with some amenities. Some rooms were apparently rented out for longer and fitted with custom interior, such as for scientists.

The hotel was the subject for several prank calls, as the main business sign had the symbol for Helium on it (He).

When NORA took over, the residents and staff were killed and a storm environment was chosen.
Zvezdochka

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

The **Zvezdochka** is a weapon featured in *Atomic Heart*.

## Background

It’s rather difficult to figure out at this point precisely what kind of weapon they had in mind when assembling this monster. It’s patently obvious that the damaged neural network must have been trying really hard to please its user by adding everything that it deemed necessary to the Zvezdochka. The result was the Kollektiv 1.0’s Swiss army knife.

It’s a heavy beast that was assembled from a driveshaft and some circular saws. The motor, which is mounted to the handle, makes the sharp saw discs spin. You could find hundreds of circumstantial uses for this monster, but the Zvezdochka handles its main job—eliminating enemies—exceptionally well!
Kollektiv

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**Kollektiv** is a neural network in *Atomic Heart*.

## Kollektiv 1.0

Created by a group of scientists led by Sechenov, Kollektiv 1.0 was successfully launched in 1948. The system allows for robots to be unified and controlled under one network, in order to carry out many tasks more effectively. Later, Sechenov plans to connect Kollektiv 1.0 with Polymer, to allow for humans to join Kollektiv and remotely read or access information and control robots.

## Kollektiv 2.0

The Kollektiv 2.0 update was scheduled for June 13th, 1955. Planned by Sechenov, the system was meant to be an upgrade from Kollektiv 1.0, and allow the personal use of THOUGHT devices.

About the Cows

Date: June 3, 1955
From: #maglev #station\_master P. Stamatin
To: Breeder U. Kopylov

In case you don't remember, the Lesnaya Maglev train station is on the outskirts of our village. It's one of the most important transportation hubs in the entire Facility and the greatest achievement of the Soviet Union.
So why am I bringing it up? The day before yesterday one of your cows walked out onto the "track" (or a "line"). Do you have any idea what a collision like that would do to the Maglev train?
Nothing at all, actually.
But unless you want your animals to get ground into chuck, I suggest keeping an eye on them. Put trackers on them or something.
Thanks in advance.

Dietary Polymer

Date: May 22, 1955
From: Vavilov Complex Assistant Manager V. Zolotukhin
To: #Low\_Gravity Seed Sorting Dept. Junior Relief Worker D. Mitin

Are you the one who wrote this on the bulletin board? "Polymer technology obviously has lots of complications, from programmable systems to durable alloys.

But there's one field that hasn't been explored at all by our research, and I think it should be: dietary Polymer, or more exactly, Polymer-based nutrition-carriers.

Imagine a kind of "bar" or "tube" containing dietary components integrated into a Polymer structure. We could create perfectly balanced food that never spoils, even outside a refrigerator, promotes regularity, boosts the metabolism, and a whole lot more. Soldiers, sailors, tourists, and of course, cosmonauts would have all their problems related to not just eating, but also transporting large quantities of food solved forever!"

From: VDNH Security Manager K. Ismailov
To: #tour\_guides

It's not secret that our employees have an ambivalent attitude to the VDNH. Some of you think it's just a museum full of exhibits, but I'd like to remind you that the VDNH is where our visitors first encounter our innovations, so just as much watchfulness and caution is required here as at Vavilov or Pavlov's secret labs. Foreign tourists regularly try to get into work areas and touch the exhibits. I'm not saying that we need to treat them all like spies, but keep in mind that every visitor is a potential enemy agent. Don't let your guard down!
Neuro-Polymer

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**Neuro-Polymer** (also spelled as **Neuropolymer**) or **Red Polymer** is new type of polymer created for inputting information directly to the human brain. Neuropolymer is the most common form of polymer that P-3 can find and use in Facility 3826.

Neuro-Polymer can be commonly acquired from fallen enemies and looting. P-3 can use Neuro-Polymer to upgrade his Polymer Glove abilities. It also the source of the miraculous abilities provided by the glove.

## Background

Originally, Neuro-Polymers were created to use with Kollectiv 2.0 for Dr. Sechenov's new project called "Poly-Education", which revolutionized the educational system by inputting information directly through the brain. Neuro-Polymer can simulate the work of a neuron, reproducing all its physical processes, by analogy with a neuron, depending on the given input signals, to lose and restore connections with neighboring structures.

Another variant of Neuro-Polymer was made, which takes the appearance of a blood-red substance. Unlike the regular Polymer, the red polymer is mainly used to dispose of bodies and transfer their consciousness to THOUGHT devices. The process includes the Neuro-Polymer taking the form of the corpse and mimicking their posture, telepathically merging with them and draining everything but the clothes and skeleton.
Telekinesis

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**Telekinesis** is an Polymer Glove ability featured in *Atomic Heart*. The upgraded version of the ability is **Mass Telekinesis**.

## Overview

The primary purpose of Telekinesis is for stealth. Telekinesis allows the players to grab small objects and telekinetically throw them to distract enemies and cameras and lure them away. It can also be used to quickly loot chests without the need to pick up items individually. Objects thrown by Telekinesis are unable to damage enemies and is not advised for use in combat. Telekinesis is also used to complete various puzzles.

Mass Telekinesis is purchased through NORA. Unlike Telekinesis, Mass Telekinesis must be slotted into a skill slot to be used. It enables the player to lift and suspend enemies in the air, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. Additional skills can be unlocked which will deal damage to enemies when Mass Telekinesis is used.

The Hidden VDNH Test

Date: January 21, 1955
From: VDNH Security Manager K. Ismailov
To: #tour\_guides

The hidden intelligence test for museum visitors developed by Comrades Yelizarova and Sechenov entails tracking visitors' gazes when entering the complex. Dandelion cameras track what they look at, which indicates what visitors are primary attracted to: bright colors, decor, complex devices, posters, or robots. In other words, the order in which they look at things attests to the development of their intellect.
Lowest: colorful spots, then walls, then decorative elements, then complex devices, then robots.
Highest: robots, then complex devices, then lighting.
An additional algorithm if currently being developed that will help identify potential rule-breakers and/or spies based on their interest in security devices such as dandelions and hives.
Alexander Yefremov

Rules for Using the Vavilov Complex Emergency Exit

This exit is intended for:
1) Exiting the complex in the event of an emergency.
2) Entry and exit by graduate students and Complex employees residing in Forester Village.
3) Entry and exit by service personnel.

Important: Since this entrance is near Vavilov Complex's main entrance, some employees have been using it to "cut the line" and get to work more quickly. While their zeal is commendable, all employees are required to punch in at the beginning of their shift. Anyone who is not covered by points 1, 2, or 3 above and does not use the main entrance will receive an official reprimand.
Ekaterina Nechayeva

**Ekaterina Nechayeva** or simply **Katya**, is a character mentioned in *Atomic Heart*. She is the late wife of Sergey Nechaev.

## Biography

*This section requires expanding. Click here to add more.*

Ekaterina Muravyova was the daughter of Zinaida Muravyova, a communications officer in Facility 3826. Her early life is unknown, however as a child she studied ballet and made significant achievments in both dance and martial arts. Those skills were used in her work in Argentum unit.

Katya had issues with her cerebral hemispheres and experienced frequent nosebleeds. In the attempt to save Katya's mind, many neurological procedures were attempted but all resulted in failure. In order to save her knowledge and skills, Sechenov performed another procedure which split her brain into two hemispheres, thus creating The Twins.

## Notes

* When P-3 enters Limbo, Katya takes the form of a floating Polymer-like Teardrop. He can also see this teardrop during hallucinations outside of Limbo.
	+ The Teardrop was featured in early preview trailers.
* Efforts made by Dr. Dmitry Sechenov and neurosurgeons at Facility 3826 were able to preserve her talent and skills by successfully transplanting her brain into The Twins.
* Ekaterina's consciousness has been preserved in Limbo, and is able to make contact with P-3 through his cerebral implant in the form of her voice.
* In one of the endings, P-3 returns to Limbo and is reunited with Ekaterina's consciousness.
	+ Because P-3 has no physical memory of her, and only learns of her physical form as The Twins, she takes the form of a Twin instead of the Teardrop.

* In the Maya Plisetskaya Theater, you can find a Chirper titled "What The Hell", if played you will hear a woman (presumably Katya) repeatedly saying "remember me" with disturbing noises being heard, P-3 will panic and tell Charles what he had heard, only for Charles to explain that the Chirper was "broken and silent".
* Zinaida shows P-3 a photo of Katya — a real photo of the Bolshoi Ballet ballerina Anita Pudikova, who gave the twins her movements.
* Her former name was Tatiana.

Who cares about "martian potatoes" or "moon wheat"? You're coming up with really boring names. Trust me, it matters.
What if we fly off to another solar system, like Aldebaran or whatever — I don't know, I'm no expert on that stuff — and then we plant our magnificent, non-picky sunflower on a planet there, but then it turns out it's not a sunflower at all!
Because there's no Sun! So now it's an Aldebaran flower! Think about that. And we should think about blueberries too, since they won't even be blue on Mars. We could call them "redberries", but that's no good... and "pinkberries" just sounds weird to me.

Valeria Ryzhova

**Valeria Vasilyevna Ryzhova** is a character appearing in *Atomic Heart*.

## Biography

Valeria Ryzhova has dreamed of being a ballerina for as long as she can remember. When she was nine, she could already perform flawless battements and cabriolet, albeit at the cost of a broken chandelier or two. After graduating from the Moscow Ballet Academy with honors, she was recruited to the Maya Plisetskaya Theater, where she very quickly became the most sough-after dancer. However, following the appearance of robot dancers, her popularity gradually began to wane. Deeply conflicted, she eventually came out against performances that included both human and robot ballerinas. No one took her position particularly serious, since Ryzhova was known for being difficult, and the theater's staff had already grown accustomed to her flights of fancy.
"You've cried wolf too many times!" Artistic Director Stefan Lastochkin once told his protegee.

The Damn Thing Sprang Up Over Night!

Date: June 6, 1955
From: Security Manager V. Nyukhov
To: Checkpoint Supervisor G. Desyetsky

Delete this immediately after reading, Georgy!
Some kind of gross plant just started growing in my garden. It literally sprang up over night. It looks like... I don't know, some kind of evil eggplant or something. It makes hissing sounds, eats my strawberries, and generally acts like a little brat.
I'm not really much of a gardener, so I'm worried. I'm really more of a cow guy.
Could you see if they can send me some pesticide or something so I can spray this thing in its ugly broccoli-looking face? I need to take it out without hurting my lilies.
Could this thing be some kind of poisonous weed... like hemlock, but worse?
WSP-9 Pchela

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**WSP-9 Pchela** is an enemy that appears in *Atomic Heart*.

## Background

The WSP-9 light flying drone delivers small cargoes and can repair any technical object, including other robots connected to the Kollektiv ecosystem.

Pchela has increased maneuverability and speed due to its small size but cannot lift loads heavier than 25 kg. Pchela repairs objects using a flexible probe housing a high-voltage cable for the Polymer arc welding wire.

## Variants

*This section requires expanding. Click here to add more.*

### Pchela

* Melee Weapons
* Explosive Damage

### Laser Pchela

This variant of the Pchela is equipped with a laser, and will use it to inaccurately strike its target with it, dealing Fire damage with a chance to inflict a short-term Burn.

* Melee Weapons
* Cold Damage
* Explosive Damage

### Patrol Pchela

This variant of the Pchela is equipped with a Dandelion CCTV Camera, and will alert other robots.

* Explosive Damage
* Melee Weapons
* Cold Damage

## Notes

* Rather than repairing robots and other devices physically, the Pchela use their stingers to materialize them, this process is done via cold fusion reactor which is a main power source to every robot in Atomic heart. Pchelas however besides only using energy from nuclear fusion, use this process to materialize any elements up to iron (similiar process that we can see in stars) the plasma is then cooled down with mentioned flexible probe with a high-voltage cable with special polymeric properties.
* The design of the Pchela may have been inspired by Wonderbot from the animated Blue Sky studio film, Robots.
* The Pchela actually shares it's name with a real life unmanned drone that was manufactured in Russia known as Yakovlev Pchela.
* In early development, the Pchela was originally going to not have leg wheels and have a built-in pistol instead of stingers, it is also believed that they would've used there propellers as blades.
* When P-3 enters Limbo, the Pchela will take the form of wind-up bees.
* A Pchela can be found near the VDNH, trapped inside a phonebooth.

I would like to thank the VDNH's administrative staff for planning this tour for our elementary school's students. After visiting your complex, they were asked to write a paper, and they all wrote so much and so well, it was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
We'll definitely come back next year if we can.

The agent's tests have yielded impressive results. While immersed in Limbo, this seemingly fragile young woman literally becomes an invincible fighter. The implications for training sabotage specialists, as well as our overall approach to secrecy, are enormous — the fighter's memory can literally be wiped without harming their skills or personality. The term "sleeper agent" will take on a whole new meaning very soon.
Zinaida Muravyova

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**Zinaida Petrovna Muravyova**, better known as **Granny Zina**, is a character featured in *Atomic Heart,* serving as a supporting character and later returns as the main antagonist of its DLC *Annihilation Instinct.*

## Biography

Zinaida Petrovna Muravyova, a lieutenant colonel and a former communications officer for Facility 3826. She used to belong to Dr. Sechenov’s inner circle; however, they parted ways long ago. Zinaida is tough and strong-willed.

She has an extensive knowledge of the Facility's work and access to various secret systems as well as has undergone rigorous combat training. She is viewed as some kind of local landmark by the majority of the staff and is most commonly known by the name Granny Zina.

## Notes

* Zina can be seen early in the game where she helped a man with a problem of 3 Vovas.
* Zina addresses herself as the Slavic witch "Baba Yaga", which is fitting to say as she flies a rocket propelled wooden hut and a 'pet' that resembles a bird house with real chicken feet.

You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself!

Date: June 6, 1955
From: Manager A. Lebedev
To: Lab Supervisor A. Privalov

I am shocked. While things at the Facility usually shock me in a good way, this time I am simply outraged.
The latest innovations in analyzing the structure of the future have allowed your lab assistants to make predictions of incredible accuracy and importance. And what are they doing?
That's right — they're logging into our systems to hear the latest music from the Radio of the Future!
I have no intention of disparaging the achievements of this project. Hearing music that will not be written for thirty or forty years is truly a scientific marvel. But only for the layman! Your employees are men of science, not greasers in leather jackets and tight jeans!
If anyone else comes here to save themselves a copy of the latest Billie Eilish song. I'll cut off access for a month.
Polymeric Shield

**Polymeric Shield** is an Polymer Glove ability featured in *Atomic Heart*.

## Overview

Polymeric Shield is obtained through purchase at NORA. It surrounds the player with a neuropolymer shield that protects them from melee and ranged damage. Additionally, it redirects a portion of the projectile's energy into the glove's power reserves. It does not protect against critical attacks. Further upgrades enable the shield to further protect the players against attacks as well as redirect them back at enemies.

From: Vavilov Complex Assistant Manager V. Zolotukhin
To: Logistics Manager E. Zakharchenko

Comrade Zakharchenko, where do all your VOV-A6 robots keep disappearing to in such large numbers? They're constantly either malfunctioning or just vanishing.

Needless to say, I've gotten in touch with Pavlov Complex, and they're going to send some more units. Get your Pelican loaders ready for a new shipment tomorrow.
And sort out these disappearing Vovas. Keep an eye on your equipment inventory.
You've been warned.
MA-9 Belyash

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

**MA-9 Belyash** is an enemy that appears in *Atomic Heart*.

## Background

The large-sized robot MA-9 is used for installation, plumbing and welding work; it can carry a payload weighing half a ton, and its manufacturer guarantees at least 20 years of service. Unlike the MA-7 and MA-8, which were engaged in manual or semi-automatic welding, the MA-9 has argon arc welding technology available. But this is not the limit. It is expected that laser welding will finally be introduced in the MA-10. Thanks to the shell, which is made of steel and titanium alloys, Belyash can even work in extreme conditions ranging from -75 to +75 °C. Its chassis is assembled on a chimpanzee skeleton so that the product can independently climb on steep surfaces and construction beams. An interesting fact – Vitaly Mikhalovich Abalakov, an honored master of mountaineering, was engaged in the development of Belyash’s hands.

## Strategy

Is vulnerable in the head. Hitting it with a melee attack will provoke it to start a power attack that can be dodged and chain another hit in the head.

## Note

* The appearance of the Belyash is stated to have been inspired by chimpanzees.
* The design of their head are similar to the Big Daddies from the game, BioShock.
* A resent upgrade to the Belyash shows that they can project images and footage from their heads.
* In early concept art, it was originally designed to have three spring legs and a rounded torso.
* The Belyash was actually going to be a enemy with a smaller physique before being upgraded to a boss.
* In Laboratory 8, when you exit the lab, you encounter 2 nerfed Belyash enemies
* After defeating the Belyash at the theater entrance, It becomes a rare enemy that spawns from the MTU-7 Bumblebee in the open world.

Granny Zina

Date: April 3, 1955
From: Security Manager V. Nyukhov
To: #security\_employees

I'd like to call your attention to the fact that Zinaida Muravyova, AKA Granny Zina, is not allowed to enter or approach the sapling warehouse without authorization under any circumstances. Comrade Muravyova has previously taken seeds and saplings of experimental flowers back to her dwelling under the pretext of performing an inspection, then cultivated them privately. Since these plants are in early experimental stages and may have characteristics that have yet to be fully studied, this could be dangerous.

P.S. Don't react to Granny Zina's rudeness. Behave yourselves.
United States of America

*This article is a stub. You can help Atomic Heart Wiki by expanding it.*

The **United States of America** is a superpower country that rivals the USSR. The US and the Soviet Union are engaged in a bitter Cold War.

## History

After Nazi Germany fell, the US successfully defeated Imperial Japan and emerged as the only country in the world to rival the USSR. The two countries have ever since engaging in an intense Cold War.

Since the US never suffered the effects of the Brown Plague, the country still retains huge labor force compared to countries in Europe. The introduction of Soviet Robots does not sit well with the US working class due to unemployment rates. As the result, the US imposed sanction on the Soviet Robots.

## Event in the Atomic Heart

During the meeting between Sechenov and Molotov, Molotov scolds Sechenov for jeopardizing the Atomic Heart Project because of the rampaging robots in the Facility. He elaborates that if the US finds out about the fact that all exported Soviet Robots have a combat mode, the US would raise hell on the USSR and their plan to take down the US from the inside would be foiled.

Petrov apparently sends a signal to the US to warn them about Sechenov's Atomic Heart Project. It is unknown how the US is going to react to this but it is clear that the US will impose far more sanctions on the USSR.

Transformer Rooms

Date: June 2, 1955
From: Junior Exhibit Curator M. Kalinina
To: #tour\_guides

"Transformer rooms represent the next step in the development of Soviet housing and industry. Our promising designs for mobile buildings take all necessary requirements into account, from wind resistance and earthquake stability to residents' need to relax and work in comfort. Dreadful holdovers from the era of capitalism such as communal apartments, workers' barracks, and other "human ant hills" inherited by the Soviet Union from the failed Tsarist state will soon be a thing of the past."
Note for tour guides: the exhibit pieces are currently undergoing maintenance, so visitors are allowed to look at the transforming rooms, but can't enter them.
Failure to comply could lead to injury, or even death.

Upgrade, Message #7

Date: June 3, 1955
From: Department Secretary A. Mukhometdinov
To: Lab Supervisor A. Privalov

Comrade Privalov, is there any way to automate cataloging on a software level? According to my calculations, I spend between five and seven percent of the time it takes me to do my paperwork filling in dates and numbers. As a result, I waste about 47 minutes every day, which adds up to about 1,260 minutes per work month, or about 21 hours! That's two and a half work days I could be spending more efficiently. Have you lost your minds over there?! Do something about this right away!

P.S. I went to the psychologist for a checkup as requested. In total, my sessions took 11 hours, about two of which were spent on smoke breaks. The psychologist found no deviations.
Item Claim

**Item Claim** is a system in *Edge of Space* allowing Handyman Studios to deliver limited-edition items to players as special promotions or as rewards for certain criteria.

Item Claim items must first be redeemed (via *Edge of Space*'s title screen) through the Handyman Studios web site, permanently linking them to the user's Steam account. Once Steam has processed this transaction, the player will be able to summon infinite copies of the limited-edition item directly into any of their characters' inventories at any point in gameplay.

In the event that an Item Claim item is only available for a limited time, such as seasonal or holiday items, the time window limits only the redemption of the item; once redeemed, Item Claim items remain available to all of a player's characters present and future, permanently.

Item Claim items cannot be dropped or placed into chests, preventing them from being transferred to other players.

## Item Claim items

* Greenlight Helmet
	+ Available the week of 1.0's launch as a thank you to players for a successful Steam Greenlight run
* Hallow Gear
	+ Available the week of 1.0's launch as a Halloween seasonal item
