Prototype's Purpose

Self-learn its own basic abilities and limitations ("Tutorial").
Navigate the first Stapulate and open the door to trigger Holocataphasia, or formation of the Ghennic Biomes via Lava-Levita. (Intro)
Traverse and observe the four primary Ghennic Biomes. The GB around the first Gyrostapulate is not any of these four (due to the need to access their cores as final challenges, given that the tutorial takes place within its core already) - is the final stage?
Reach the heart of each Ghennic Biome and obtain the SABO (Standalone Acute Biome Observer) crystal for its detailed analyses and reports regarding the survival and persistence of the surrounding geography and life among it.
Acquiring the SABO triggers  "level complete."
The SABO itself initiates a portal-open sequence with very rapid morse code via light flashes. The background surrounding the SABO changes to show that the Gyrostapulate recognizes the request for portal.
The SABO verifies itself with a unique set of morse code flashes, triggering portal formation - blinding white hole the Prototype's orbs fly into.
New screen here: Black background. Large, animated spinning SABO crystal descends into an info-extraction terminal. Entire scene fades a bit into the background while the environment analysis data prints on the screen, giving some extra context for the story and how things are progressing. This may be followed by dialogue from the scientists, commenting on their findings vs. expectations.
Upon reaching the fifth GB, to proceed the Prototype must have traveled and observed the full spectrum of the Ghennic Biomes, and thus is prompted for proof (the elemental weapons). If it has not, it must return to previous locations and explore further to find the missing weapons.
Once the multi-weapon gate is passed, the Prototype is tasked with a decision to be made: Is it safe to fully activate all Stapulates (there are many more than just these five), and to put the fate of humanity in the hands of Project Ghennam?
Data from the SABOs is collected and displayed in the background, showing mostly positive results.
GPS, the heart of the Ostracatalyst, awakens. Shows signs of abnormality, but prompts the Prototype for conclusive analysis.
When Prototype's response is acknowledged, GPS responds with:
Holocataphasia phase complete
Result: POSITIVE
Evacuation procedure is live
Initializing Nidolysis phase…
[…]
Nidolysis in progress
Prototype mission complete
[…] ((machinery comes to put the Prototype into stasis. if the player lets this happen, it is game over at the end of this sequence. can be avoided by using circuit split))
Prototype stasis engaged
Evaluating variables for Ostracatalyst phase…
[…]
Stapulate Plexus: ONLINE
Stapulate Ping: 976/976 ONLINE  ((this counts up from 0 in uneven bursts))
L-L Siphon: ONLINE
L-L Gate: ONLINE
L-L Gate Keys: 0/4 (Red text)
ERROR: All four L-L Gate keys are required to permit L-L barrier formation
Ostracatalyst phase DENIED!
Spine Reapers activated for gate key retrieval
Calculating projected risk…
[…]
Days until astro-cataclysmic event: 17
Estimated days until Spine Reapers return: 4 (The text pauses here, the number glitches briefly, then turns red and counts up rapidly to "93")
MISSION APPROVED
Spine Reapers deployed
Awaiting gate keys…
To confirm positive results, the four gate keys must be retrieved from deep within the heavily-secured heart chambers of each Stapulate. The four entrances (portals) within the Ghennic Biomes are opened, and must be located to reach said chambers. Bringing all four keys back to the lock room of the fifth GB would be proof that the Ostracatalyst (Project Ghennam's climax phase) is able and ready to be implemented.
Upon submission of the fourth key, the GPS, which is the "fifth key" fueled by Enno and necessary for the Ostracatalyst to function, malfunctions/goes rogue and attempts to escape. The Prototype must then subdue and retrieve the GPS to ensure the success of Project Ghennam - the protection of life on the planet.
