Who is December!

[Jacko]

So, just wondering who he is? Story seems a little... open ended, or unfinished. No real explanation to who december was, and if you follow the mission to the end, get a really quick ending, only touching ever so slightly on what you actually are.

Like, January, December is one of Morgan Yu's personal operators. The two's names likely resemble Morgan in different mental states. For example, in January of last year Morgan felt it was necessary to blow up the entire station, and then in December of last year Morgan felt like abandoning all hope and just getting the hell out of there as soon as physically possible. Just my opinion though.

then could you tell me who october is?

[NeoG]

No, but I can tell you the man who was Thursady - It was Mr. Syme.

[RB]

Yeah that quest was weird, I wish I could hide it.

Assuming January prepresents empathy and compassion, I assume December represents self interest and egoism. Which is why December is associated purely with fleeing the station and leaving everyone to die.

Has anyone used the escape pod?

Yes, there's an achievement for it and, IIRC, it gives a non-standard game over.

Essentially, that quest is unable to be completed, or removed from your quest log.

It is annoying having it as a constant marker, but I suppose given the theme of the game it's there as a constant reminder of a choice/option you have. Literally taking the easy way out.

yeah i used the pod

basically the game ends and youll get a special ending scene if you use the pod
so you should save the game ;)

but the quest doesnt show up as completed after this :/ ... guess it stays in the questlog forever

Nice theory!

[NisseDood]

Well it kinda is since his mentality started to change after constant memory losses from the neuromod experiments.
The Do no harm quest also lets you hear stuff about his mentality changes.

The main story takes place in February of 2035, so the order is the opposite: December is from last year, but January is from this year and is the most recent one. October, December and January, in that order. Who knows if there was a November.

First, Morgan created October before entering the simulation. October was meant to guide Morgan to create and deploy the prototype null-wave. A TranScribe about this can be found in Alex's safe room. https://prey.fandom.com/wiki/If_Things_Go_Sideways

Then, after some personality drift had occurred during the simulation, Morgan created December. December was meant to guide Morgan to escape Talos I.

And then after another month in the simulation, Morgan created January to help blow up Talos I.
