#sintranet

This has remained a draft in Google Docs for like a month now and have played the game multiple times to make sure I got everything. These are all events that happen before Brian is hired at Sintracorp. Most of the stuff here is copied directly from the game itself unless stated otherwise. If I am missing any important events and you know any details I missed, please let me know!

(Notes from myself will look like this.)

(1918) João Sintra is born

(1924) Xiu Ying is born

(?)Hugo’s notes (Who is the witch?): “Witches are supposed to possess other women’s bodies. This fact, when added to the company’s existing secrecy, has made knowing their real identity a challenge. But we already know the whole truth. The Witch is a girl named Domori. The Sintra family bought her on the black market before they even formed the company, and kept her locked up in one of the rooms in their house. They could not control their enormous power and it turned against them, cursing the whole family and this building.”

( Joao and Xiu wanted children, but were unable to conceive. João and Xiu buy Domori, who is said to be thousands of years old and if kept happy, would bring good luck and fortune to the Sintra Family. Domori is the reason why Sintracorp succeeded and how João and Xiu conceived Rei with no issues. )

(1951) Sintracorp is created

(1961) Rei Sintra is born, sometime between October and November due to her birth sign being Scorpio

Article (1961): International banks recommend buying shares of the Sintracorp group in the face of forecasts of higher stock market growth. Support the miracle of a small family business that is now at the top of the economy. A statement from J. Sintra, founder and president of the company: ‘I do not believe in luck, I’m not superstitious. The key is knowing how to take advantage of opportunities.’

Letter (1968) : The Cornucopia project will be carried out monthly starting next December. The procedure must be carried out in a highly confidential manner. Rei will be sedated at 03:00 A.M. for transfer after confirmation that both she and Ms.Ying are asleep. The transfer to the sixth floor facilities and the copying process cannot exceed 2 hours. Likewise, we confirm the installation of the electronic device to lock the door to Rei’s bedroom.

( What Project Cornucopia is and its purpose are still unclear, but it seems to be the reason why Rei’s memories are stored in Sintranet. It seems like the only one aware of the experiment in the Sintra family was João at the time )

( Internal Report )Project Cornucopia (April 14, 1971) : Backup copy updated. Observations: The subject does not seem to suffer or remember anything from the procedure. Future experiments could study whether we modify one of these copies and integrate one into part of our network.

Last Photo of the Sintra Family is taken (May 2nd, 1971)

Financial Article (May 1971): The swift and unexpected fluctuation of the shares of Sintracorp, one of the most reliable companies of the last decade, has called into question the world’s major stock exchanges . Experts predict that if the situation continues until the end of the year, the international community could enter into an unprecedented recession.

( Domori starts acting out because she feels neglected by the Sintra family and starts causing chaos to the family and company )

Handwritten Letter (May 5th, 1971): “I thought being a ‘nanny’ would be more comfortable than working in the offices, especially if I’m taking care of a dumb girl. But I’m going to have to give up for the sake of my mental health.I understand the stress the family is going through and that it’s a bad time to leave my position, but that witch has not stopped crying in the last three days and her crying gives me goosebumps.”

Xiu’s Letter: “She is now the fourth babysitter to resign. And this only reassured me of what I told you months ago: I feel an evil force in here. I don’t want our daughter to see her again.”

(1971) Rei Sintra goes missing, presumed dead

( Domori switches bodies with Rei, causing Rei to go missing and hide in “the depths” while Rei is trapped in Domori’s body. In desperation, the Sintra family takes drastic measures to end the curse that Domori started. Rei’s soul along with Domori’s body are burned at the stake )

( This scene is why I believe that the reason why Rei and Domori to some degree associate their father with the devil, as one of the last things Rei saw was her father before being engulfed in flames. I believe that Rei’s memories were still uploaded to Sintranet, and she seemed aware of what happened to her. Maybe this is the reason why the system became corrupted?)

Magazine Clipping (Undated): Was the recent funeral of the heiress of the Sintra fortune part of a cover-up? Unofficial sources seem to believe so, as they’ve been unable to access the autopsy report so far

(February 4th, 1972) ( Blank Save File ) João Sintra commits suicide, seemingly haunted by loss of both of his daughters.

Record [5-10-73] A new stage begins in my life and Sintracorp’s. No more wasting tears on ghosts of the past, it’s time to turn the page and take the Cornucopia project to the next level.

Company Magazine (1973): Sintracorp returns with their new development plan in robotics and computing”

( Xiu is now aware of the Cornucopia Project and knows that Rei’s memories were still there. Perhaps she wanted to bring her daughter back by creating the androids? )

Doshi’s Computer (1973): “According to the records I found, Sintracorp renewed its corporate image in 1973, creating a state-of-the-art android in the likeness of the daughter of the Sintra family. Nine functional models of Sintra were running across the company, guiding new employees. Would this be the mysterious Cornucopia Project? After gathering information from various sources, it can be assumed that the unexpected destruction of all Sintra models led the company to close the project definitively. The AI they had developed became part of the corporate intranet: Sintranet. Who destroyed all the models and why? Is this related to the fact that Sintranet is corrupt.”

Xiu Ying (1981) “As General Director, I have established a protocol in the case that Rei Sintra is found, allowing her identification to grant her immediate powers of succession over my position, with priority to any other under which Sintracorp is found.

( Around this time is when Xiu starts hiring witch hunters, since burning Domori didn’t seem to end the curse )

( Xiu) Record [03-17-82] The AI experiments on the sixth floor are paying off. The additions of Ms.Atia and Mr.Corvo are promising, and I have already given the order to bring Mr.Nazari to join them as soon as possible. I’m aware that my life is leaving me and I’m afraid of what the future of the company will be when that happens. But at least I want to make one last effort to end this plague that has cursed everything around me

(1982 on her gravestone, although Sintra says 1983) Xiu Ying passes away.

Note in the archives (1983): “…I’m very lucky that the old man pulled me off the sixth floor to help him in the Archives. Some people say he’s a bit strange. They don’t have any idea of the things I had to do before this.”

Undated letter in the archives that I do believe is related to the note before this: “Everything is computerized now, nobody works at the Archives anymore. I’ve not seen the old owl man for years. Since then, this has stopped being a safe place. Nobody believes me, but I have seen something sinister roaming the bookcases…”

I believe the old owl man they are mentioning is Nazari

Report in a Magazine (December 1983): “The unexpected failure of the S-2 models has been compounded by the temporary closure of the sixth floor R&D Department. After the death of President Xiu Ying, it has not been announced who will make the decisions on the challenges ahead.”

Circular for all employees (April 4, 1984): “EmPLoyEsss##. Are. required. to. usssSE. new. computerssss###. tHE. previoussss. ##—-versions. of. sSSSssintranet. are. corrupt. and. vuLnerable. to. comPuter. wormssssss****”

( If you take all of the capital letters written in the Circular, it spells out “PLEASEHELP”)

(?)Hugo’s notes (Where is she hiding?): “After several years of wandering around the building, Corvo is convinced that the key is in the Sintra family home. Although it has always been the most obvious place, no one so far has been able to find anything strange in the residence. It seems the only explanation is that the way to the lair is protected by a very powerful illusion spell. Voodoo magic is based on contact with the invisible world. It can break some of these spells, but not the most powerful ones. That would only be possible with a tool of great magical power.”

( The Witchhunters Letters, most of which are undated but seem to take place between 1982 - 1989 )

E.N: I know you are usually guided by intuition, but at this critical time I would trust no one but yourself. Remember what I told you about her familiar spirits.

E.N (?): After reviewing several non official studies on the Hexenhammer, I begin to think we are missing the key role of the Familiar spirits: Spider, Bat, Cat, Rat, White Wolf, Owl, Raven, Toad, and the most important of all…The Snake

A.M: My friend, I would not trust any member of this company; moreso now, as it slowly destroys itself. Anyone may be one of Her children and there is no way to know. We three are all who can be trusted

A.M: With the Dagger in the hands of the Crow, I pray that this nightmare ends. Now I leave in your hands the report of his progress

A.M: Great news you tell me, dear friend. Now that we know where She’s hiding and we have the Dagger in our possession, it’s only a matter of time before we can break the seal on the secret entrance.

(?)Hugo’s notes (How to kill her?): “Corvo has obtained the Athame Dagger. The joint work with Moeta and Nazari has been crucial. His contacts abroad have found the exact dagger that can end this witch. Corvo is convinced he can also break the powerful illusion spell that blocks the way to the lair.”

Corvo’s Letter ( November 1989): “I shouldn’t get too close to the Witch’s cauldron. It seems to emanate an ancient resentment. If I want to explore further, I will do so from here and carry the Dagger with me for protection, but I should start storing things in the hidden floor. I’ll leave the Tadpole out of it, I don’t want anything to happen to him.”

( it is implied that Hugo lured Corvo into the cauldron, which caused his death. I believe that A.M.’s letter here is in response of Corvo’s death )

A.M: You could not have sent worse news. We must hide as soon as possible and delete any record of our names. If She discovers our identities, we are lost.
