The point of fevers is to help kill intruders in the body this is exactly what the Zone is trying to do against Stalkers. The Zone is a living entity not merely an area. The babies, however, are dead.Įmissions are like the Zone's fevers. The people in C-Consciousness are asleep in tubes, with only their nebulous minds awake. These were test subjects for the C-Consciousness. In the Fire Poltergeist room, you can see tubes of babies. In Labs X-18 and X-16 you can see some of their experiments. So the Zone was created as a result of this unintended corruption.Ĭ-Consciousness was in development for many years. It seems that merging multiple minds into one does not actually increase one's influence on the Noosphere instead, it corrupts the Noosphere. Somewhere during this process, something went wrong and the Zone was created. The Noosphere is defined as "the sphere of human thought." They wanted to influence it, and remove crime and negative feelings. That theory was that if multiple minds merged into one, it would be better able to affect something called the Noosphere. The C-Consciousness is a group of scientists who uploaded their collective consciousness into a machine to test a theory. It's supposed to lead Stalkers away from the truth. The Monolith is actually under control by an entity called the C-Consciousness.
