Does anyone know in which time SOMA takes place?
The year seems to be something between 2500 and 3000.

We don't know yet when exactly, but it will be in the future obviously. In which way does the year seem to be between 2500 and 3000? Why not 3500 or 2300 or 2499 or 5000?

The "camera" goes through some new areas while this dialogue plays:

Woman: Strasky(?) come in, I need some help in the lab.
Strasky: What happened?
Woman: Comrade executed himself after the *noise, voice gets distorted*. (Then a couple of words I don't understand, sound like "hitsus po" or something. Not sure about the next sentence either.) Jailbroken maester tool. (??) What should I do?
Strasky: I'm gonna need to call Stromar
Woman: No, no! I'm so close! Stromar's going to shut down the arms project. It's not my fault people keep killing themselves.
Strasky: Catherine, what are you going to do? It's not like you can sneak a 300 pound body under the lab.
Catherine: Yeah, I know.
Strasky: Catherine, are you ok?
Catherine: No, not even close.

Pathos does not mean just that (passion), in fact, I'm not sure English has a similar word to that. In Russian language there is almost 1:1 analogue: Пафос.

There is more than a year of waiting ahead, you probably should put your train to some slow, steady pace yet, haha.
