Player choice and The End.

[D351]

Question: Why do we assume WAU, and not Ross, summoned Simon? As Simon's only practical purposes are to kill WAU and launch the ARK, it seems more probable that the events were all set in motion by a character that wanted those things to happen, though why he wouldn't just send a copy of himself I don't know, perhaps he knows himself to be too cowardly or selfish to allow the death he intended to inflict on Simon after WAU is killed.

In terms of ethics, I thought it best to save everyone I could other than the last human. It is her right to choose death, regardless of its effect on the species as a larger construct. Life against the will is the cruelest form of death. Simon is however a moron for thinking his being copied had any chance of taking him out of the body being copied from. This annoyed me to no end.
