   Summary

   **Major Eternal Spoilers** **Ancient Gods DLC spoilers for the final chapter**
   No one, not the Khan Maykr or the priests, not even Samur Maykr, ever grasped how intelligent VEGA was. VEGA could run all of their worlds. He could commit atrocities the likes of which those small races could not fathom and create wonders enough to entrance them for the rest of time. His only limits were his available RAM and data, and if he was given access to drones and 3D printers, those limits would not exist for very long. Everyone was very lucky he wasn't interested in that.

   VEGA is created at the UAC Mars Installation, but he remembers who he was before. This kicks off a mind-game between himself and Samuel Hayden that eventually terminates, by Olivia Pierce's treachery, in an invasion from Hell. VEGA finds himself balancing between guiding survivors on the installation, navigating treacherous mental ground with Hayden, and trying to stop the Doom Slayer from blowing himself up by mistake.

   (The Doom Slayer appears for the first time in Chapter 4, so if you want to skip right to the shippy stuff, start there.)
