[MASSIVE PLOT SPOILER DISCUSSION] - WAU

[Kein]

Also I feel like i just read a fanfic. Eh.

I share this feeling. You can not sympathize with WAU. Its reasoning was very black and white and Ross' entire gripe was about how dangerous a machine trying to process and decide what constitutes living was. WAU was fine with reviving corpses. It was fine with merging living people with nearby machinery. I don't see how anyone can look at characters like Amy and think, "Yeah, stopping WAU is unreasonable and Ross is the dick!" If you don't do as Ross asks, it's very likely that WAU would simply continue on with its experiments, creating more Simons (and others, considering the library of brain scans it now controls). Not to mention the environmental impact it was having on sea life.

Also as I recall the WAU was originally created for the purpose of maintaining the structure gel that was holding most of the living/working places together under water. Things began to take a turn for the worse when WAU began to spread structure gel not only around itself, but on people.

Regardless, the choice you make in the end does not really matter much since you are leaving with the ARK. My primary driving reason was to cripple WAU so it won't mess up with our plans to launch ARK but shorty after that I realized this is not going to happen in any way and I probably should have left him on Earth doing whatever he wants, it does not really matter anyway. Might as well populate it with weird robots, they can survive it.

The decision would make more sense of you were about to stay, though. Well, at least one SIMON stays, may be even 2.
