New human: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:18, 16 December 2023

New humans, referred to in-game as simply humans, are the sentient beings that live on Earth during The Talos Principle 2. The name of the their species is borrowed from the name used for their ancient ancestors.

When the original human race was near extinction, a team at the Institute for Applied Noematics created a system designed to eventually allow a new (robotic) human race to emerge. The first new human (the protagonist of first The Talos Principle game) named herself Athena (1).

Shortly after creating Athena, the system designed by the ancient humans also gave life to two other new humans: Eustathius (2) and Cornelius (3). Together they brought to life ten additional humans. The twelve humans born after Athena are collectively known as the First Companions.

New humans developed a civilization in the city of New Jerusalem. There was also an attempt to create a second city, New Alexandria, but this effort ended with a disaster that killed several people.

In order to avoid destroying the environment as the ancient humans did, Athena suggested limiting the new human race to exactly 1000 people. The creation of this 1000th human, and the belief that they should be the final new human, became known as "the Goal". By the time 1k (1000) was born, Neith (33) had taken over welcoming new humans into the world.
