Step 2: Establish an Unreliable Narrative

As we've discussed in previous tutorials, the first step to surviving an Advanced Simulation Survival situation is to establish a narrative that is both believable and utterly false.

For example, if you're in a situation where your character has been "kidnapped" by a rogue AI, you may want to create a narrative that you were "kidnapped" by a group of highly skilled, yet fashionably dressed, ninjas.

This not only keeps your enemies off guard, but also provides a great opportunity for some much-needed character development and world-building.

Remember, the key to success in an Advanced Simulation Survival situation is to always stay one step ahead of your enemies, and by "enemies" I mean "everyone."
