Plot Theories

[HorrorElementFilms]

Not much of a theory, but I looked up the word Pathos (the name of the ship/station they're on)

Pathos (noun) - a quality that evokes pity or sadness.

The game takes place on PATHOS - 2

Could they be studying... emotions? As in human emotions? Perhaps they are making artificial intelligence? Or maybe, the machines are making their own intelligence.

(assuming SOMA, isn't an acronym or something)

Soma - 1. the parts of an organism other than the reproductive cells
2. the body as distinct from the soul, mind, or psyche.

This, seems to be emulating the theme we've been think of. Ironically, I haven't bothered before to just "look up" the definition of these words.
