Huh, the Horizon backstory, from what I've gathered hearing about it over the past couple of weeks, sounds a little like the (barely explained) premise of Ergo Proxy. Maybe they have a common ancestor.
I skipped the Horizon section as I was not sure what they were talking about. Maybe right after the spoiler warning/tag you could start the section by saying the mission name. Then I could know if I need to bail or not at that point. I could go back after beating the game to listen, but that sounds like a lot of work, haha.
