[SPOILERS] SOMA and The Matrix similarities

[Omnitool]

I think the ARK is a Matrix of its own. But without existing bodys, they are imprisoned there forever.

That is exactly what I was thinking...

But are the scans inside the Ark really immortal? What would happen if a person inside the Ark would commit suicide or die in an accident? Do people have any control over the simulation inside the Ark? Do they have any control over the space probe containing the Ark?
