Memory Trigger

Memory Triggers are a plot device found during gameplay related to the mission Ryder Family Secrets. They are found in fixed locations on most of the explorable planets.

Overview
Before his death, Alec Ryder locked six of SAM's memory arrays. Memory triggers are eidetic triggers that help unlock those arrays. Ryder's SAM implant allows Ryder to experience the unlocked memories.

Mechanics
The 16 memory triggers can be collected in any order. The order in which Alec Ryder's memories are unlocked is fixed. It only takes one trigger to unlock the first memory (the easiest way to do this is to collect the trigger in Ryder's Room). Each additional memory requires 3 additional triggers. Unlocking memories will also unlock encrypted logs in the Archive System.
 * Memory 1 - One trigger - Unlocks Encrypted Log #1
 * Memory 2 - Three additional memory triggers - Unlocks Encrypted Log #2
 * Memory 3 - Three additional memory triggers
 * Memory 4 - Three additional memory triggers - Unlocks Encrypted Log #3
 * Memory 5 - Three additional memory triggers
 * Memory 6 - Three additional memory triggers - Unlocks Encrypted Log #4
