Talos I only houses elite scientists and innovators (allegedly)

How come someone like Grant Lockwood is part of the crew then?
I just remembered the conversation between him and Jessica Wiley, kinda hilarious.

Bonus points for the "conscientious" security officer named Elias Blackwho blackmails Yuri Kimura who is also stealing neuromods from Talos I.

That's one of the first things I noticed about Prey, that Talos I is a home for the elite. I guess that's very much a homage to Bioshock, and the Randian philosophy behind Rapture.

Well, let's be fair, the type of research and development that goes on in Talos I is exactly where you'd want the brightest and best to be located. That some of the grunts tasked with keeping the station running properly are a bit stupid...is only to be expected, honestly.

Heh, and actually, come to think of it, small wonder Lockwood got fired if that's how poorly he knew his job. Maybe he lied on his application form or something.

That's true, I guess.

Btw, don't they have other stations? Like on earthside and one called TranStar North...? What happened to those? Danielle seemed very upset about TranStar and how they handle their business. But maybe that's just (like Dr. Kohl, whose name often has a typo in mails, would say) her anger and issues with authority speaking. I find the conversation between Danielle and Dr. Kohl hilarious, especially how Dr. Kohl keeps getting back to her anger issues.

Now that I think of it, it's really weird how most of the phantoms' lines consists of lines from Dr. Kohl ("What do you see in the glass" and "Are you angry?" are the most prominent ones) or of lines related to the incident or his "psych evals" ("I used to wish we weren't alone in the universe", "Did we make that one in the lab?" and "I hope this is just a bad dream", which all hint at more recent thoughts of the crew). The most terrifying line is still "Morgan..." imo, it creeps me the hell out. Like, how does this Typhon know who exactly I am?
