[SPOILERS] SOMA unsolved mysteries thread

[Karba]

Simon was a Canadian from Toronto who worked at a comic shop a hundred years prior to the events at Pathos-II (which is how the game starts). His involvement with David Munshi led to his brain getting scanned using a primitive version of the same technology that Pathos-II uses for their Pilot Seats, and as such his scan was on file (though it was a legacy scan, a flat scan template that was only ever used for research and education purposes in the field of AI).

So yes, it was almost definitely a coincidence that it was Simon that ended up in the "robot".

Okay that explains that. Was David Munshi aware of what was going to happen? Did he copy Simons consciousness into the robot on Pathos-II in an effort to save humanity?
