to make them more powerful with Resonators,

與共振器配合更加強大，

and to adjust the frequency of XM to a new one,

並且調節XM的頻率至新的設備

one he deemed safer.

was a potentially dangerous foreign threat,

是一種外來威脅

and needed to be resisted and neutralized.

That scanner technology was leaked, perhaps on purpose,

to the general public.

也許是有意為之。

It was later uploaded to the Google Play Store

隨後，其被上傳至谷歌商店

as a game.

Since then, millions of people have experimented with XM.

此後，數百萬人在試驗着XM。

This gave us the two Factions, the Enlightened

和抵抗軍，在各個據點上角逐，

and perhaps our destiny.

或許，是為了我們的命運而爭鬥。

The NIA definitely fears whatever is out there.

believing that human thought can be manipulated
