[SPOILERS] SOMA unsolved mysteries thread

[Abion47]

That's where it all starts. Exactly what David did after that I'm not sure, but when they failed to save Simon, they still had his brain scan to study, which eventually ended up as a legacy scan in Pathos-II.

Is it possible that Simon died from the brain scan, but his consciousness is saved and then copied and put into a robot in the future as a last effort to save humanity? It could be possible since I don't think one has understanding of time when dead.

He was alive for at least a month after the scan. In Theta, you can listen to some of Munshi's audio logs with Simon, and the logs are dated. And no, he was copied, not preserved.

As for him being a last effort to save humanity... sort of.
