Invisible inc ending *spoilers*

[Althesian]

So,incognita is kinda like skynet now? Taking over the world and whatnot but the thing is the way she said it as though humans are just flawed beings.

The thing that puzzles me more is the way she said those words,"You have served our purposes well." Is incognita in league with anyone or is she just saying "we" as in her self as the system?

Also she seems to not go rambling about about humans until the end of the game and she seems to like the "operator" as in us.She almost showed no signs or symptoms such as saying, "Why do you make me do this?"

According to her background she's and old A.I. retrofited into incognita now.Why she's doing this doesn't really makes sense to me.Or i could be wrong and she just went haywire when she ran out of power at the end of the game.

Also, obvious setup for sequel is obvious.

The ending tends to raise more questions than it answers, let me see if I can shed some light on the situation.

Basically, all the corps use SecNet for security- so when she gained access to it, she basically gains control of all the corps assets (including orbital lasers).
Incognita sees humans as being inherintly chaotic- and, in wanting to restore order to the world, uses that as a motive to seize absolute power SecNet. This is probably due to deteriation in Incognitas AI before the events of II.

In relation to "You have served our purposes well.", I'd assumed she was simply reffering to herself and the robots under her control- although it's possible she's working with someone. I can't imagine who'd benefit from working with her, though.

The reason Incognita starts to ramble at the end is because she's been unplugged from the mainframe for too long- and her module is starting to deteriate, which is why she begins to reveal some of her true motive.

incognita used to be a weather AI, but she was repurposed to commanding units during the resource wars (don't quote me on that, it's been a long time since I first read her backstory x.x).
I believe that the war must have taken it's toll on her, and the questionable morals of II may have affected her enough that she wants to create a "perfect world". Alternatively, it could be someone "planted" the idea in her.

The implication though, is that she was planning to take over SecNet from the start. She was probably behind the events that lead to the campaign

Guess we'll find out more in the Contingency Plan DLC :3

[Althesian]

Huh. Interesting. Anyway gladstone says she's a eurpean A.I. used back in the 40s to do weather reports then watch troop movements. She then decided to use whatever she could to reprogramme incognita.

I guess her age could be a contributing factor to her deteoriation.

Also,the idea that corporations could rule the world seems quite terrifying and the funny thing is that it doesn't seem impossible for this reality to happen.

I remembered learning geography and i was taught that food corporations control how we eat which unnerved me a lot because if corporations could control what we eat, controlling the world...

[AtomicCaleb]

Monster also said that Ai should be reprogrammed every 2 years probably incase something like this happend. She was also in the war so that would've taken a toll on her

[General TGF]

Also worth noting is that she destroys Plastech, K&O and FTM headquarters but only purges Sankaku of "organic material" killing humans within but leaving the infrastructure intact and then mentions that production facilities are online while a hologram of an Akuma drone is briefly displayed. It's also possible that she is the one who disconnected the Operator from Central at the end, as well (Because they're considered a threat when working together?).

All this could mean that she plans to make her own agency with drones instead of humans with the goal of preserving information and "curating" the world.

she is saying "you" as in central. This is because since central got incognita there, central served her well. The other thing i would like to say is: What happened to the agents? Incognita said that central would not be harmed but said nothing about the agents. I beleive they were killed, captured etc. Anyone agree?

[ARTORIUS909]

incognita said "you have served our purposes well, so you will not be harmed. Leave." That says no doubt about it she is talking to central

[TamTroll]

central also says that incognita was the one who informed the corps about invisible inc's home base to start the game. wouldn't put it past her.

But what with Omni? How this corporation is connected with ? I thought Incognita works for Omni and Omni needs her to wipe out all other corporations (as she can hack every device in the world, so she can also hack orbital lasers).

Omni is the combined force of all other corporations. Incognita is not working for Omni. After all, why would Omni make Incognita take down Omni? Though I can imagine Incognita helping Omni, or rather, manipulating Omni. She probably needed them to create a powerful host.

[Miteusz]

Central said in DLC that Incognita is ,,structurally incapable'' of lying her, so that contradicts theory that Incognita had plan of ruling the world before beginning of II. But The Quantum Reservoir from Omni was put into Incognita. Maybe that somehow changed behaviour of Incognita, making her able to lying Central? Maybe Omni wanted to make Incognita work for them thanks to that Reservoir?

It looks that Omni want to put Incognita into his host, because during final mission Most3r say that Omni facility looks "strangely unguarded". Incognita takes down other corporations. We don't know if Omni is combined force of all other corporations, it is only Most3r's guess.

[Synavix]

I always assumed it was the other way around. Incognita basically created or manipulated Omni into working for her. That's why in the closing scene she is able to tell Central that she's free to leave and won't be harmed even though there are human guards closing in. While Incognita may have been able to gain control of robots that she didn't already control, the humans probably wouldn't suddenly listen to an AI that took over their systems and destroyed their HQs (if Omni was actually working for the corps). Remember that Central had the highest bounty on her of anyone in history. It also doesn't make sense to me that rivals corps would have a mixed program with their best tech and their biggest threats/assets available to eachother.

As far as lying to Central....as much as Central may believe that (and it may even be true), it's obvious that Incognita found SOME kind of loophole or way around it. And I believe it was from the start. Over time she must have realized that the only way to accomplish Invisible's goal of freeing the world from the corps was to take them out by taking control, and to do that she created or used Omni.

[cyberboy2000]

I do want to believe that Incognita was actually good until she started breaking down during the final mission, and that she had nothing to do with the HQ raid, but I don't think I can simply close my eyes. Central obviously does not know as much about Incognita as she think she
does. As others have said, she may have been deteriorating for a long time.

The guard part is easy to explain. Either they ran off in fear after hearing that their HQ had been destroyed, or Incognita used her new powers to divert them (see how Central doesn't leave the way she came, she takes a nearby elevator)

The "strangely unguarded" part I think is a joke about how superior Monst3r considers himself over the corps. That or he underestimated the system, since the first thing he does after saying that is to run into a honeypot.

[cyberboy2000]

If Omni is not a corporate unit, why does hooking up to it's mainframe grant complete access to SecNet? Yes Incognita is a super ai that can hack any firewall wirelessly but even that has its limits. And since Omni has to be part of the corps, it makes no sense that it would want Incognita to take over.

Yes it's possible that Incognita was responsible for the creation of Omni, but if that's the case it's as part of her scheme to get to power, just like how the HQ raid was most likely planned by her, and not because Omni supported her motive.

Omni is not part of the Corps, but rather is the whole of it. Every corperation answers to Omni, not the reverse, and not every corperation even knows it's Omni they're answering to.

Incognita covertly made Omni, and even if she cannot lie to Central, what are the chances Central would ask anything that would link Incognita to Omni? Controlling Omni give full SecNet control because Omni=SecNet, zero distinction between them. It is literally a covert new world order group. The guards were faking it the best they could, even for us, because Incognita knows how we see it all. The guards know about rewinds, and know that if they act like they'll shoot, the we will believe it.

The biggest twist? Incognita only needed us for one thing: The password of "Mother" at the end of the game. Only Central's voice would work, so Central has to say it.

The Corps are to be seen as clueless pawns. Omni wants what the Corps they work with don't. Being allied does not mean having no hidden mission.

Obviously this can't be true, because the only real way to play Invisibles Inc. is without rewinds or reloads =P

More on topic, I don't believe this is what the devs intended. Incognita is taking a gamble, and if we screw up badly she goes down with us. Only if we succeed does its gamble pay off, and Incognita takes control.
