Submit to the Mass and allow the Harvest to be completed

"The rational choice is to eliminate yourself from the equation. Allow the completion of the Harvest and life on Earth can prosper for millions of years. Humanity brings disparity to the balance and their extinction is due. Do not allow your compassion and tiny individualism to cloud your judgement."

Summary: McCauley dies. Humanity is Harvested and joins the Mass where they find harmony in unity with no more conflict. The balance of life on Earth resumes under the eye of the Intelligence.

Ending: McCauley submitted at the very end and allowed the Harvest of humanity to be completed to maintain the balance of Earth. After 30 years of struggle The Tempest is finally over and humanity is now extinct. But rather than being dead they should be considered united and changed for the better. This sacrifice means other life on Earth can prosper for millions of years to come.

屈于黑弥撒,完成最后收割。

“让我来告诉你最理性的选择:停止无意义的抗争。人类早已成为扎根地球的肿瘤,你虚伪的同情、无谓的自我,都改变不了这个事实。收割即将开始,地球将迎来数百万年的繁荣与昌”

总结:麦考利将会死亡,收割将会开始,全人类都将归于黑弥撒,迎来一个永无纷争的新纪元。地球上的万灵将在天启的庇佑下繁衍生息。

最终结局:最终,麦考利屈于了黑弥撒的意志,天启对人类的收割开始了。这场历经 30 年的血雨终于结束,而人类则引来了灭绝。不过,与其说灭绝,倒不如说所有人的意识都归为了一体。人类消失后,地球上的其他生灵会继续繁衍生息,一代又一代,千万年间,生生不息。

Destroy the Mass, destroy the Moon

"Or our method for maintaining the balance of life on Earth can be deemed a failure. You can complete our eradication and destroy the Mass. The Tempest will end and humanity will be free, but know this comes at great cost to all life – a calamity of fire will reign down from the skies.";

"The Mass is core to the structure of the Moon - destroy the Mass and the Moon will be destroyed. This place is a womb, where we grow our future. Without it chaos will ensue, but humanity will survive and be forever free of our influence."

Summary: Completely eradicate the Mass and the Intelligence. McCauley and everyone else on the Moon dies. The Earth colonies and those infected with The Tempest will regain their independence and can rebuild but will have to live in a post-apocalyptic world without a Moon.

Ending chosen: The final part of the Mass was destroyed and the Moon collapsed. McCauley and everyone else on the Moon died as fragments of the Moon crashed into the surface of the Earth. The calamity from the skies sparked a terrifying apocalypse but humanity will endure and survive. Losing the Moon mean long term consequences, but humanity can rebuild and is now free of any external influences.


消灭黑弥撒,摧毁整个月球。

“一直以来,你的表现都令人印象深刻,甚至让我们开始审视黑弥撒存在的意义——或许这一切本就不该发生。你有资格将黑弥撒彻底抹去,为人类开启新的纪元。然而,凡事皆有代价——地球上将会降下地狱般的火雨,所有的生灵都必将遭受苦难。”

“原因很简单——这颗星球早已成为我们的温床,若要摧毁黑弥撒,月球也将为你陪葬。天启将不复存在,混乱会接踵而至。人类固然可以把握自己的命运,但你真的能够断言,一切不会变得更糟吗?”\n\n总结:彻底消灭黑弥撒与天启,但麦考利和月球先遣队都将死于月球的爆炸。地球上的所有人,包括曾经的血雨感染者,都将摆脱黑弥撒的控制并获得自由。然而,月球爆炸后的残骸将会在地球上降下陨石雨,幸存下来的人类将会渡过一段没有月亮的漫漫余生。

最终结局:随着黑弥撒最后的躯壳被炸毁,月球终于支持不住,分崩离析,麦考利和先遣队的成员被抛向太空,瞬间毙命。来自月球的裂片无情地轰向地球,无尽的火雨绵延数月才得以停止。地球引来了漫长的寒冬,潮水不再涨落,有关月亮的谈论也慢慢成了禁忌。但是,人性不灭,摆脱了黑弥撒控制的人类,也注定生生不息。

Merge with the Mass and protect loved ones

"Or we offer another chance to join us. We feel there is room for us to coexist. You can provide sanctuary to those you care for and their existence can continue in safety. All others whose names you do not know will be subject to the Harvest. Their sacrifice will satisfy the need to cull."

Summary: McCauley joins the Mass. The handful of people close to McCauley are saved and can continue living on Earth in peace. The rest of humanity will be Harvested to satisfy the Intelligence.;

Ending: McCauley merges with the Mass and is able to protect those close to him. Anyone who McCauley did not know individually was Harvested. The survivors return to Earth and with the remaining colonies they are confined to a tiny spit of land, their existence no longer deemed a threat. The survivors now live mundane lives, remembering McCauley and wondering what could have been…


加入黑弥撒,保护所爱之人。

“诚然,人类的感情可以超越恐惧和死亡。如果你执意要拯救那些你关心的人,倒也无妨——说出他们的名字,黑弥撒将与他们和平共处。至于你剩下的亿万同胞,都将倒在收割镰下。轮回永续,收割永无停息。”

总结:麦考利将加入黑弥撒,麦考利的朋友们可以继续在地球上正常生活,但剩下的绝大多数人类将被收割,以取悦天启。

最终结局:麦考利加入了黑弥撒,并逐一念出了他所认识的每一个人的名字。至于剩下的人,都消失在了无边的岁月里。幸存者们重返地球,回到了他们在柯克沃尔的家中。不过,由于幸存者数量有限,人类再也不会对地球生态产生威胁了。幸存者们栖身世界一隅,过着平凡的小日子,追忆着麦考利的种种往昔。而麦考利的抉择,则成了永远的秘密……

Leave the Mass crippled and return to Earth alone

"Or leave this place now, and no longer will our influence extend to nurture life on Earth. You can return to Earth where you alone can block all external control. All survivors on Earth will be free, but those remaining on the Moon will join with the Mass and those infected with The Tempest will die."

Summary: McCauley returns to Earth alone - those on the Moon must join the Mass. The remaining infected on Earth will die but the remaining colonies on Earth will survive and be free.; “

Ending chosen: The Mass was left crippled and McCauley returned to Earth alone. Everyone he cared for is gone, their sacrifice ensuring McCauley can lead humanity free of extra-terrestrial influence. Those infected with The Tempest were all rendered neutralised. The remainder of humanity lived on under the protection of McCauley and the balance of life on Earth was restored for the time being…


放过黑弥撒,独自返回地球。

或者,离开我们的领地。你将独自一人重返地球,为所有人提供庇护。但别忘了——天启的福音将从地球上永远消失,和你一同前往月球的人将归于黑弥撒的怀抱,至于地球上那些感染了血雨的人,也都会腐朽、消亡。”

总结:麦考利将独自返回地球,而与他一同前往月球的人将归于黑弥撒。地球上感染了血雨的人将会死去,而剩下的人们将幸存,并迎来自由的黎明。

最终结局:黑弥撒遭到重创,而麦考利则独自一人返回了地球。远征队被永远地留在了月球上,他们的音容笑貌成了麦考利心中永远的回忆。血雨的感染者悉数倒下,腐烂的尸臭弥漫着整颗星球。好在,如同气味一样,陈年旧事终究会被遗忘,幸存下来的人们在麦考利的庇佑下继续生活着,地球上的生态平衡暂时得到了恢复……

Replace the Intelligence and give McCauley control

"Rather than join the Mass you alone could replace the Intelligence. Perhaps our collective memory is no longer effective and one leader that unites all individuals under their image is a better way. The Harvest would not be required and you alone will have the power to control the balance of life."

Summary: McCauley replaces the Intelligence within the Mass and can control everyone should he want to. He could allow everyone to have freedom or shape humanity around his own desires.

Ending chosen: McCauley fell into the Mass and replaced the Intelligence, meaning McCauley is now in control. Will he let everyone be free or will he shape humanity in his own perfect image? Colonists and infected are alive, but what happens next is down to what McCauley chooses to do with this control. Perhaps everyone can decide for themselves? One hopes the future of humanity is peace and harmony…


取代黑弥撒,成为新的主宰。

“再或者,你愿意取代黑弥撒吗?群体的意志或许不再适合这个时代。就由你,麦考利,来成为新的‘天启’。收割将会停止,而引导万灵的艰巨任务,自然也会落在你的头上。”

总结:麦考利将取代天启,并获得控制全人类的能力。无论是让所有人重获自由,还是重新塑造人类社会,世间万物都将系于一念之上。

最终结局:麦考利放下内心,灵魂直达黑弥撒的最深处。天启消失了,麦考利成了新的主宰,获得了对全人类的控制权。血雨的感染者得救了,幸存者也免遭收割,可问题是……麦考利会怎么做呢?赋予所有人自由?抑或是按照自己心中的完美形象塑造人类?没人知道。但愿人类的未来能够远离纷争,和平共处……

Solidify the Mass and allow humanity to determine its fate;

"We do not know death - only change. The will of humanity is strong and could forge its own path. What Mass remains can congeal and fortify the Moon and leave Earth unscarred. But know this: we know how you have harmed this place with your pollution, your violence, and your discord."

"Mistrust is the tyranny of the individual. No matter - the line is drawn. It is just a question of who will bring your end: us, or you?"

Summary: McCauley uses the last Anti-Matter device on himself and falls into the Mass. Everyone else survives and all remaining life on Earth, including the infected, regain control of themselves and can resume normal life, thus allowing Humanity to resume on its own destructive path…; “

Ending chosen: McCauley explodes the Anti-Mass Device in his hands and falls into the Mass which creates a perfect concoction to solidify the Mass. The Intelligence ceases to exist without its organic form, thus everyone on Earth is free of its influence and The Tempest. It’s going to take time to rebuild but humanity will survive. One can only hope the suffering and sacrifice will be remembered when it comes to shaping the future of Earth…


展现决心,让人类决定自己的命运

“死亡只是凡人眼中的末日,而变革才是吾辈心中的大义。前路漫漫,而人类的意志足够坚强。黑弥撒将永远留在月球上,不再染指地球。不过,你得记住你们在这颗星球上的所作所为,记住你们的杀戮、暴力与不谐。”

猜忌,独立意志的原罪。倒也无妨。万物即将臣服,而你将迎来末日。我很好奇,这末日的灾厄会由谁来书写呢?我们,还是你自己?”

总结:麦考利将与最后一颗反物质炸弹一同湮灭,重归黑弥撒的怀抱。至于剩下的所有人,包括血雨的感染者,都将回归寻常的人生。人类重获自由,并继续走在自我毁灭的老路上……
最终结局:麦考利紧握着反物质炸弹,永远地消失在了所有人的视线中。爆炸使黑弥撒失去了活性,成了一堆废矿石,天启也随之消失。在遥远的地球上,所有人都摆脱了黑弥撒的控制。创伤需要愈合,城市需要重建,但这些都只是时间问题。惟愿所有先辈的苦难和牺牲都能被铭记,并引领后人,塑造起更加美好的未来……



Divine intervention

Phase 10: Johnny was left alive in the Omega Lab
Phase 17: Miranda was exiled
Phase 20: McKenzie and McKraken were both restrained
Phase 21: Smith was forgiven


With the Solomon Four alive and Smith forgiven, the Magic Badger believes humanity can change. The Mass is crippled and the Intelligence is weakened. There is a rare opportunity to erase the Intelligence and transfer its mindfulness to Johnny who was left alive but not conscious in the Omega Lab a year ago. Smith will lead the Solomon Four with a Special Council that will unify and rule over all of Earth. They will become the “Alpha and Omega”.

Ending chosen: Seeing how The Solomon Four and Smith can put all differences aside, The Magic Badger seizes the opportunity to eliminate the Intelligence and transfers its mindfulness to Johnny whilst the Mass is weakened. Everyone under the influence of The Tempest awakens and all other survivors on Earth can welcome them back to the new world. Those on the Moon travel safely back to Earth and McCauley, McKenzie, McKraken, Johnny and Smith form a Special Counsel to set about the unification of peace on Earth. With the greatest free thinking minds on the planet humanity is well equipped to rebuild and begin anew…



神圣干涉

在第 10 章中,强尼活了下来。
在第 17 章中,米兰达被流放。
在第 20 章中,麦克肯齐和麦克拉肯被双双控制。
在第 21 章中,史密斯得到了原谅。


所罗门四杰全员幸存,史密斯得到原谅,魔獾看到了人性之光。如今,黑弥撒受损严重,天启的力量也被削弱,魔獾有机会将天启彻底抹去,并将其全部的智慧赋予强尼——所罗门一号。史密斯将着手建立名为“凤凰议会”的首脑组织,这支议会将领导并监督所罗门四杰,携手重建这个世界。

最终结局:看到所罗门四杰和史密斯在经历了如此种种后仍能放下偏见,求同存异,魔獾决定抓住机会,趁黑弥撒被削弱之时,将天启彻底抹去。天启拥有的力量足以让任何人惧怕,但魔獾相信,所罗门四杰能够合理地使用这份力量。血雨的感染者们重获人性,被殖民地接纳,渐渐过上了正常人的生活。麦考利、麦克肯齐、麦克拉肯、强尼和史密斯组建起了“凤凰议会”,携手促进地球的和平。有了最伟大的思想与最自由的意志,人类必将迎来一个崭新的纪元…
