[SPOILERS] SOMA unsolved mysteries thread

Great answers, Omnitool. I especially like the idea that Simon was made to keep Upsilon running.

- Why does Catherine need to do the Ark upload and launch with a single switch, almost launching too soon? She says "to make sure it gets launched at all", but she must have known she will only create a copy and be left behind herself, still able to launch after the upload is complete.. so the whole "come on come on thought you'd have better bandwidth in the future!!" was kinda unnecessary.

I think this is part of Catherine's ruse. She needs Simon to press a button. If she scans him first, he'll realize he hasn't carried over to the ARK - and once he realizes that, he might get angry and decide not to launch.
