Convergence Station Gamification

## Getting Started

Billed as an optional interactive quest that allows deeper immersion into the worlds of Convergence, visitors can obtain a QDOT QPASS Card for $3 USD by purchasing one with their ticket or inside at the information desk in the Transit Station hub of Convergence Station. The main objective is to uncover the mystery of the Forgotten Four by interacting (or "booping") at MEMports (small devices with screens and a glowing swirl) scattered throughout the Converged Worlds.

Each MEMport interaction will add 1 MEM to your QPASS. Some MEMs can only be obtained at specific MEMports, while other MEMs can be randomly obtained. You can rescan a MEMport you've already visited after a 5 minute cooldown.

As you progress you will also get MEMos (messages and videos from in-world characters) that can be viewed on MEMport screen, at the larger ATM displays, or via a phone or computer using the Convergence Exchange Earthphone ATM Website and entering the code on the card or by scanning the QR Code on the card.

Completion of the main storyline will take most visitors around 2.5 to 3 hours. Unlocking all the content that can be obtained via QPASS can take much longer, including multiple visits.

## ***Story Spoilers***

### Introduction

After a short tutorial, the QPASS storyline begins when you find one of fifteen 'core' MEMs with a message from a 'user' named Tracking Error requesting you to seek out the Forgotten Four. To solve the mystery of the Forgotten Four, you must find 3 MEMs from persons who may know about their disappearances to combine into a memory.

Beyond the first "boop" tutorial, there are additional clues to memories on the "ATM" touchscreens throughout Convergence Station. The Recall Boards and Convergence Newsfeed include messages from characters in Convergence who may have leads on harder to obtain MEMs and memories.

### Pam's Memory of the Convergence

After you collect two Pam Rodriguez memories you will be contacted by an account named WHI$TL3BL0W3R who will give you the third MEM. This completes the memory and is in fact a zero-point memory of the convergence from Forgotten Four member Pam Rodgriguez of Earth, After completing this, WHI$TL3BL0W3R will then direct you to C Street to collect a second triad of memories belonging to the second Forgotten Four member Panoa of Eemia.

### Panoa's Memory of the Convergence

After collecting all parts of Panoa's zero-point memory of the convergence, WHI$TL3BL0W3R reveals their identity to be a QDOT scientist by the name of Chya. She explains that she is seeking to prevent a QDOT project called 'The Last Stop' from coming to fruition, as it will destroy all of the connected worlds memories forever. She will implore you to find the memories to deny QDOT Superconductor General Oleander the chance to open the portal.

Once the second core memory is complete, Chya will reach out again and ponder why the converged worlds all have one woman from each realm connected together except for Numina, and then will proceed to give a possible reason as to why Numina does not follow the same rules. She implores you to find the other two memories of the Forgotten Four.

### Rune's Memory of the Convergence and Side Events

After additional MEMport *boops*, Ariel Sting sends a MEMo that her 'friend,' the sentient slimes scattered across the worlds, are holding a MEM from Rune Zivai, the Forgotten Four member from Ossuary. If you do not complete the puzzle, Rune's MEM will eventually be randomly added to your account as the QPASS keeps being *boop'd* at MEMports.

Another MEMo will also come from Jessamy Rossin, head librarian of the Ossuarian Library. Jessamy will give you the second of Rune's MEMs with a dire warning. Shortly after, a mysterious user with the handle of USER 39574QSB1 will send you a complete MEM triad and memory focusing on Chya, saying that she is not what she says she is. Once Rune's memory is complete, following your next visit to a MEMport Chya will send another MEMO explaining that the Forgotten Four are tied to convergence itself. She goes on to admit the Forgotten Four and the Convergence are tied to her as well since when the four worlds converged, the Forgotten Four converged into a fifth person and she is the result of that convergence.

### Darya's Memory of the Convergence

Following Chya's confession, Ariel Sting will reach out with 1 of the 3 MEMs of the final Convergence memory from QDOT scientist Darya Kane. Eventually, Tracking Error will send a MEMo suggesting a visit to the Concessions Bot outside the Orpheum Monoplex movie theatre on C Street. To complete this optional side-quest, you must first visit Vend-L in The R@z Nest. Should you complete the side event, a user by the name of ConcessionsBot43.6B will message you and give you one of Darya's MEMs. Otherwise, as you keep booping at MEMports this MEM will appear. Tracking Error will also send another fragment of Darya's memory. Eventually, Julius Finch will send a MEMo about the events leading up to this, his role in it , and what must be done to stop Oleander's last stop from coming to fruition, completing Darya's Memory of the Convergence.

### Possible Endings

At this point Chya will message one more time that the collected memories are reacting to being in one place causing her to begin to de-converge in pain. At this point Julius Finch will message you about the events leading up to this, his role in it , and what must be done to stop Oleander's plan from coming to fruition. He will immediately message you after the video or one more MEMport *boop* and tell you to make it to the Surveillance Room (behind the Sa Lawn building on C Street).

#### **True Ending** – Go to the Security Room (Panopticon)

If you get to the Panopticon/Security room before *booping* an ATM you will trigger the 'true' ending, including a short animation where Oleander is confronted by Chya and Julius. This video is the same as the alternate ending, but if you send your MEMs to Numina, the last bit of the video will properly play and unlock two additional Convergence Newsfeed posts viewable at an ATM: "Chya's Memory Logbook" and "A Day Convergence won't soon forget..."

In these newsfeed posts, Ariel Sting and Chya explain how everyone and everything was moved to a new time cell except for for Oleander himself, who now has no memories of himself nor his home world of Chyadelin. Everyone else now knows of the Forgotten Four and the nature of Chya.

#### (Alternate Ending) If you visit an ATM before visiting the Security Room

If at ANY POINT after that final MEMO from Julius you visit an ATM, you will trigger the other possible story ending. In this ending a video can be seen on the ATM of Oleander successfully opening the portal with you having the possibility of sending your memories to Numina from the ATM itself. However, because you did not visit the Security Room, you are unable to send your MEMs to Numina and The Last Stop is opened.

At this point is Julius will lament that another timeline has been lost, but Numina plucked you out of it at the last second and placed you in another. Julius then tells you to get Numina's attention by *booping* three of Numina's time nodes (small *boopable* devices without screens) on her highest level. You will know it worked when the complete sky changes color. This is to 'reset' the story line so you can experience the other ending. Should you not be able to get Numina to behave, then the only things that you will be missing is two news feed posts.

## Additional Notes and Things To Do

After completing the main story, there are additional video memories and MEMs to collect as well as activations that can be triggered using your QPASS. Should you be having difficulty finding some however, consider a visit to the Convergence Exchange to play the Pachinko Machines for a MEM code or reference the List of known mems at Convergence Station page to enter into the Exchange's recall code MEMport.

If you have Panoa's completed memory, you are able to trigger a special activation in Eemia using the Northern Navigator.
