These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

I just finished davidspackage's great Let's Play of SOMA and I have a question and I have no other place to ask it: how did Simon's brain scan get to the Pathos-II in the first place? Was his scan the brain equivalent of HeLa cells and anything AI-related starts with his scan as a template?

i think its more that he was one of if not the first person to get a full scan as opposed to his brain being special. so his scan was widespread anywhere the tech was used

So more like preloaded basic software on industry hardware? Like HELLO WORLD written in plain text? The thought of some megacorp deploying AI infrastructure with Simon's scan preloaded makes my skin crawl.
