Akers story doesn't make sense?

[iCanTucan]

So, i'm rethinking SOMA and one thing hit me - WAU is trying to "save humanity" on it's twisted, sick way (because it's probably doesn't understand what "humanity" is. Put people into robots, etc. So Akers story doesn't make much sense - when we first encounter place he stays at, all evidence suggest that WAU just want to destroy everything - "holy mission", his laugh when he coming to Theta, he doesn't sound not only like sane person but he just doesn't sound human anymore. Okey, WAU made a lot of mistakes, but Akers story feels just wrong above everything. Or maybe i'm wrong with something?

Akers is the one who is willing to stay behind because he doesn't want to follow this up. I remember he drank too much structure gels, thinking he would die soon. Instead WAU managed to get inside of his brain. He wrote the notes on the wall with structure gel and it is said, "My reflection in the blackof our Warden whispers. I need to save them from this hell. Let them sleep. Lock them in the lucid dream I've seen."

That's what he drank is too much structure gels which he thought it would ease him away.

And WAU isn't the one who doesn't want to destroy humanity. It is preserving humanity. If you're already lock out from Omicron.

The WAU was what was trying to preserve humanity in whatever way it could. Unfortunately, because it is not a sentient being or anything close, it was simply doing what it was programmed to do, maintaining human "life", either by making rudimentary life support systems (like what Amy was hooked up to), or by having to upload a brain scan onto a cortex chip, then shoving that and some structure gel into the nearest corpse or robot. Because it has no definition of "life" or "human", it ended up creating things like the proxy monsters and sentient robots (Carl).
As Satsujinki said, Akers had started ingesting structure gel either in an attempt to ease his passing, or to try and prolong his life. However, structure gel was dangerous just to handle with bare hands, so the fact he put it into his body made him completely open to its effects, causing him to go insane and remove his eyeballs.

Personally, it seemed like, after ingesting the gel, he wanted to "save" the others by having them do the same thing. However, instead of ingesting the gel, he had injected people with the structure gel in order to "help" them, although more often than not it caused their deaths. He had wanted to help his fellow coworkers, but had just gone the wrong way of doing it.

Actually Akers story makes more sense than Ross.

He is the only monster fully explained (i never get who are fleshers and why they even exist) - he drunk gel, got affected, started to mutate and herd some whispering of WAU will "My reflection in the blackof our Warden whispers. I need to save them from this hell. Let them sleep. Lock them in the lucid dream I've seen." which was basic motivation to preserve life by merging it into its structure and giving merged bodies a lucid dreams (basically upload their minds into som sort of matrix).
While Akers due of gel pocessed this agenda of WAU he did it his own twisted way by merging people dead or alive with biomech masses, that turned them into same kind of thiing or just dead meat. This was explained at the scene where Simon was catured and coconed by proxy.

So Akers did nt really same thing as WAU, because he has different sctucture and mutations, but motives was the same, he sort of mimced WAU by merging people with biomasses he produced like WAU did, except that he has no ability to put them in lucid dreams. There was however few lucky guys who was connected to wau and did not turn to proxy. Not sure if that was lucky accidents or they was there just earlier.


Cant explain Ross live, abilities and motives that easy as Akers.
