General ending/plot discussion

[hollowleviathan]

I didn't think that every single WAU-creature was brain-scanned, for example Akers is mutating from WAU-gel without any scan injected into the body. Similarly, my theory is that the creatures on the ship are hapless sailors revived soon after the ship sank, which seems to have happened as a result of the comet-event, based on the message from the captain. The skeletons you can find in the ship seem to contradict that timeline. Hmm, I might have to replay that section.

I'm not certain of the chronology for when the ship sank and when the WAU found its way onboard, but the resemblence of the discoball head to a diving suit says to me the sailors survived sinking and may have even been still alive but dying when revived with brain damage from oxygen deprivation.

If Jiangshi are inanimate bodies with machine heads and a brain-scan injected, I assume they would be more capable/sentient, since that's the recipe that allowed Simon-2 to keep his sanity.
