The administrator I still think was mostly Ruvik. After reading the letter I see him saying he will be a part of Kidman as more a threat from Ruvik who apparently remains inside anyone who's been in STEM, including the administrator. With Kidman's standing with Mobius seemingly being unaffected at the end of the DLC you would have to assume they don't know much about what went on in STEM.
Then again there is that tape of Kidman being held in an interrogation room as a feisty reluctant prisoner before being brainwashed and made more complacent. Something like that isn't going to leave a person easily.
I couldn't help but notice Sebastian's end section and Kidmans were similar in concept. Kidman fights two enemies, Seb fights two box heads, before they both finally confront their now helpless game long antagonist who attacks with giant arms and finish them off. There's a bit of hollow wish fulfillment in Kidmans ending because she gets to shoot her boss and be free of her superiors in the same way Seb gets to blow Ruvik away with a bazooka.
Lots of implications for sequels with the wireless STEM and Ruvik apparently being like a virus.
Myra I don't know about, at the moment there's a lot that's confusing about her.
First off Kidman didn't know she or her daughter existed, how do you not know your boss' wife is missing?
If she was a part of Mobius from the beginning then why would she disappear and leave Seb clues to her investigation? Being a part of the missing persons department would've been a huge help to Mobius.
I guess I could see three explanations.
1) She joined the department as a mole for Mobius, covering up their involvement in various missing persons reports and marrying Sebastian as further cover. When the STEM project is nearing completion she fakes her disappearance because she no longer needs to be a part of KCPD and leaves Sebastian a file of red herrings. Sebastian is a closed off person and didn't talk about his missing wife much so Kidman never knew.
2) Everything happened as Sebastian's campaign says, when Myra goes missing she is brainwashed and works for Mobius. She was the voice for the computer in Mobius' buildings which would suggest a more personal and long term involvement.
3) Sebastian never had a wife and daughter, those were memories implanted by Ruvik in STEM to ensure Sebastian would have a reason to pursue Mobius if he ever escapes and also as a means to torment and break down Sebastian. A bit out there I suppose but I found it odd that in the credits she was listed as Myra rather than Myra Castellanos, without a second name like most characters. This would explain why Kidman has no knowledge of her and also make all the female mannikins and baby dolls a reference to Sebs family being fake. Doesn't explain Sebastians alcoholism.
I like theory # 2. It would explain her letter to Sebastian warning him of the group. Also, the Mobius symbol on both Kidman & Myra's hands at the end may represent brainwashing.
Personnal files indicate that Kidman has worked there a while already, so it wasn't her first day on the job.
I absolutely think the leader of Mobius existed, but Ruvik had taken him long before we had even heard of him before these DLC packs were released. As the second torn letter said, the administrator had entered the machine lusting for power a long time ago, and Ruvik would leave his mark on Kidman if she ever escaped just as he did with the administrator himself. Ruvik's ultimate plan was to basically turn himself into a virus that could spread to anyone who had been involved with STEM, and that includes the administrator. Ruvik had taken him since the second he had gotten anywhere near the machine.
I also think that the administrator taunting Kidman was mostly Ruvik the entire time, seeing as how Ruvik himself paused and called her "Kid" in the second torn letter; to me, that implied that he was revealing himself as the administrator, or at least having control over him.
It's mentioned in one of Jimenez's recordings that Ruvik is a name Mobius gave to Ruben after they trapped his mind in STEM, and that it's an insulting anagram of some sort. But I can not figure out what the hell that word would be.
The only word I could even find is kiruv, which is "the act or practice of bringing secularized Jews closer to Judaism as through seminars, meetings, and religious rituals." I somehow doubt that is it.
It is very derogatory. To reduce someone to a combination of their names? Not even asking them, taking away their personal identity, and making them just a garbled mess of who they were? It's adding insult to the injury they did to him.
It was mainly interesting because I had no idea that Dr. Jiminez cared at all for Ruben. Assumed he was using him for personal gain, much like Ruvik said in one of his audio logs. Perhaps he became as a parent or mentor to him over the years.
