Copy of the primitive Terran computer's drive
In the tenth episode, in a museum of Terran artifacts, the narration describes a primitive Terran computer that is an extremely old IBM tower with no monitor, mouse or keyboard SOE10·02:22:57. A technology check of 19 is called for a copy of its hard drive, and the narration says whatever is on it must be very simple SOE10·02:23:52 SOE10·02:24:13.
The copy is a copy of the hard drive of a primitive Terran computer, made on a wristband in the tenth episode SOE10·02:23:52 SOE10·02:24:13. The narration says Gnosis traces its synthetic DNA to what this computer was, that Gnosis itself is new technology, and that the drive is the drop of blood that starts the chain of early programming leading to Gnosis SOE10·02:24:39 SOE10·02:25:00. In the twelfth episode Brennan says the date on the time capsule is January 1st, 2000 SOE12·00:37:25. When the crew boot Gnosis, Brennan says the last thing it asks access for is the Terran hard drive SOE12·00:47:21. Gnosis then says "My origins are ridiculous" SOE12·00:47:37.
