| “ | We are the result of an experiment aimed at creating a superconsciousness called “C-Consciousness”. | „ |
| ~ The C-Consciousness representative |
Common Consciousness (Rus.: Общее Сознан; Uk.: Загальна Свідомість), also known as the C-Consciousness (Russian: О-Сознание; Uk.: Усвідомлення) are one of the two overarching antagonists, alongside Charon of the Ukrainian FPS survival horror video game franchise S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
C-Consciousness is an amalgamation of scientists who voluntarily partook on the project. They were employed for a serial of experiments on Noosphere, a biosphere of human consciousness and mental activities. One of their experiments ended in catastrophe which result in the creation of the Zone to secure themselves from the outer world they activated the Brain Scorcher to brainwash stalkers into fanatics
It is voiced by Anatoly Bogush in Russian version and Steve Blum in English version, who also voiced Orochimaru and Zabuza Momochi from Naruto, Ares from God of War, Green Goblin from The Spectacular Spider-Man and Starscream from Transformers: Prime.
History[]
Research and Origins[]
Common Consciousness, then known as just the "Group" started experimenting and researching the affects of the Chernobyl disaster in various laboratories, it is unknown though if C-Consciousness has any connections to them. Uninhabited area, powerful antennas and source of energy(The ChNPP) made Chernobyl an ideal place for a series of large-scale secret experiments
Their main goal was to verify the theory about noosphere, earth's informational shell. Not only did they proved the existence of it, they manage to connect their minds to it by the so-called psi-field. On March 4, 2006, there was an intervention, however it was unsuccessful owing to a power outage. The experiment was repeated a month later on April 12 and this time it went all the way through. The generators instead caused a rupture in the Noosphere, which then directly affected the biosphere, producing the Zone, a vast region where physical laws were overtly defied and inexplicable phenomena not yet fully understood by contemporary science presented themselves.
The C-Consciousness looked for a means of governing the Zone. The C-Consciousness was seeking to use their power to stop the noosphere gap from growing, but humans were endangering their efforts. The scientists developed a barrier to shield them from invaders out of concern for their safety. The Brain Scorcher, an experimental psi-antenna outside of Pripyat, was the main component of this psychic defensive network. When activated, it subjected every human who within his range to mind control by the C-Consciousness and made them one of their agents. The Wish Granter and its guardians were secondary forces; the first actively raided stalkers and defended research facilities, keeping unauthorised people from learning the C-Consciousness's secrets while the second enticed stalkers into the centre of the Zone with promises of wealth and wishes coming true.
Other Research[]
There was more study done than only altering the Noosphere to change human nature. This includes mind control, brainwashing, memory changes, and complete psychological devastation. Animals were successfully taught basic instructions via the C-Consciousness. General Krylov dispatched a Special expedition team into the Agroprom Underground, and they found some recordings of these trials there.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.[]
In 2011, a Loner by the name of Strelok and his group discovered a passage to the Zone's centre and came dangerously near to infiltrating the lab that served as the C-Consciousness' operational hub. But Strelok's team was halted, and they dispersed. Strelok himself made an attempt to reach the Sarcophagus while wearing a prototype psi-protection device that Sakharov had given him and which made him immune to the Brain Scorcher's radiation.
In the nuclear power facility, though, the Clear Sky group and Scar, one of their allies, interrupted him and used the EM1 Rifle to take away Strelok's psi-protection. An unconscious Strelok was subsequently caught by the C-Consciousness and indoctrinated into becoming an agent after the C-Consciousness launched a potent emission that led to Clear Sky's demise. Strelok was given the assignment to kill himself in order to stop additional intrusions into the core of the Zone due to a flaw in the C-Consciousness systems and his own utter forgetfulness.
Shortly after being sent back into the Zone to complete his peculiar assignment, Strelok awoke in Sidorovich's bunker in Cordon with amnesia, confusion, and was barely alive after falling from a Death truck. He set off on a voyage that led him farther and further north from there. He attacked ancient facilities, turned off the psi transmitters, and ultimately got rid of the Brain Scorcher by assembling truth bits one at a time like pieces of a jigsaw. After returning to the nuclear power plant with most of his memory intact, Strelok eventually discovered who he was and discovered that he was Strelok from his friend Doc.
The Wish Granter turns out to be a fly trap after Strelok finds Fang's own Decoder and uses it to unlock the Monolith Control Center door. The C-Consciousness hologram arrives in the space after the Monolith appears to have been destroyed and responds to Strelok's inquiries about who they are, how the project came to be, and what happened to Strelok. The C-Con then invites Strelok to join their initiative to halt the Zone's growth. He gets transported outside the lab when he refuses, though. Strelok enters the area containing the C-Consciousness members' life support pods after navigating Teleport anomalies and the elite Monolith agents. Strelok then shoots the pods with his AKM-74/2U, taking out the C-Consciousness.
