IS SIMON A ROBOT?

[Fragr]

I'm pretty sure WAU created Simon-2 the same way they created Simon-3. Simon is just a scan, so he could potentially be put into anybody.

Read my post properly.

If simon-2 has no head, then who put the cortex chip on the body in the first place?

Did WAU walk to Reed's corpse, put the chip in place, take the body and then also place it in the mind scanning chair?

I do think that WAU created simon-2, I just don't know how, exactly.

Spoiler below!

I remember a conversation between Catherine and Simon where the player finds out that he's actually walking around in Imogen Reed's body. (I think it was in omicron, at the very least it was in the ARK simulation room, where you have to try and get the prototype ark running.)

I seem to remember Catherine scanning Simon's body and saying that the cortex chip and other electrical components that make up Simon's "brain" had simply been forcefully inserted through Imogen's skull and held together with gel.

This, coupled with the X-Ray imagery of Simon's body during the scan, leads me to believe that "Simon-2" actually has a head, only that it got so mangled when the cortex chip was inserted that you can't really tell anymore.

Keep in mind that all of this is from memory, so i might be remembering something wrong. I'm going to start a second playthrough soon, so i might be able to confirm or debunk my theory after that. In the meantime, if anyone else knows, feel free to chime in?
