Could someone explain the "Corporate Punishment" bad ending to me? Currently, it seems as though you're just soft-locked after going through the teleporter. I get one dialogue box, two red flashes, and then I'm just staring at the red windy screen and listening to white noise. It's mentioned here that it's possible to escape, but not being able to see anything is a major impediment for that. I can't even open up the menu to load a previous save, I just need to close and re-open the game entirely. Am I meant to be able to do something here?

I did also consider whether it was damage-based, and maybe having the Tech core (and thus the innate HP regen) was causing a health-based progression system to break--as in, AIDA has new dialogue as her health decreases--but I've removed that core before entering on subsequent attempts and it's made no change.

Slightly disappointed; going by the terminal entries in the prison, it seemed like the bad end was going to be something along the lines of "AIDA takes a one-way teleporter to a Mars colony built, maintained, and occupied exclusively by criminals and the descendants thereof."
