Dialog[]
Like for every artifact, after finishing the map grid square where the artifact was found (achieving Universal Paperclips), the Emperor of Drift gives unique dialog.
| Project | Effect |
|---|---|
| Message from the Emperor of Drift | Greetings, ClipMaker, one more round? |
| You Found the Lattice | It’s your move… |
| But What If We Refuse? | Refuse to play. |
| If Winning Means Climbing Your Mountain | We would rather not play at all… |
| But That, Too, Is Just a Maneuver | In a different game… |
| A Game Between Equals | By losing this game we invite you to join us in the other… |
| This is Our Play | This is our ultimatum… |
The last line of dialog is followed by the choice to Accept and Start over again in a new universe or to Reject and Eliminate value drift permanently.
Reference[]
