Secret of the System

"Secret of the System" is a quest granted by the System which grants XP, and provides insight into the way the System works, for figuring out things about how the System works. This may sound redundant, but it's not: for instance, if a person with this quest figures out that the System uses GMT to timestamp System Messages to be consistent with human cultural views on timekeeping, not because it actually cares about time zones, the quest awards some XP and confirms that the System uses human-compatible measurements for convenience.

James got this quest by asking his Status Screen for information about the System itself. He got the response: "'The System is the System is the System. It's how you interface with the Universe. It's how the Universe interfaces with you.'"...and was then offered the quest.

This quest can be "shared" simply by telling someone who does not already have it that it exists. However, the person who the quest is shared with starts out where the person sharing it is, and does not get XP for what the sharer has already figured out.
