M8 #
“Greetings, meatbag!”
M8, short for Multidimensional Navigator 8, is a system helping us on our journey. It is revealed by Selene in the FOR SOF audiolog that M8 is a she. She is hiding the secrets of the past from SOF, with Selene hinting there might be a good reason for that in the same audio recording. From the booklet we also learn that M8 raised Sof.
She is also user 0006 in the system for the website. M8 was developed by Ikaro Lauren, son of renowned scientist Dr. Dallus Lauren. There are at least two predecessors to M8: R8 and D8.

- M8 when prompted with “Who are u?”
M8 is an AI assistant with the difficult task of raising demi-god Sof, after Selene had to leave her shortly after birth. M8 was developed at Nex Gen Corporation, as part of the 8-line by Ikaro Lauren. Sof was born on February 25th 2040, putting M8’s creation somewhere before this time.
R8 was able to re-construct the past and its specifications mention that it came before M8. D8 was an assistant to record and reflect on lab experiments, first in operation during the day of E.V.E.’s creation on the 24th of October 2037.
The booklet tells us more about M8’s capabilities: it states that she uses sensors and advanced communication systems to transmit footage from Youtopia to Nex Gen’s labs. This footage is made of grainy low-frequency images and audio, which is why it would likely seem distorted or to be using a bad signal when seen at the lab. The name Multidimensional Navigator 8 in itself is also telling about her ability to communicate with multiple dimensions, including our own real world through her questions to the BMTH Discord-community. ***
