Missing Astronauts[]
So in this interview, its mentioned they could still be deep in the facility, and in game theirs a mention by cave johnson to "A senate hearing about missing astronauts", anyone else think a connection lies there? 212.219.57.66 11:46, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Nope. Probably unrelated. E gal 13:43, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
is there a link to this interview? Eto 'Zamamai 20:07, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
I like to think that the Space Core is one of the missing astronauts. Early AI was pretty much human minds stuck into a computer, so it's not unlikely that the Space Core was a very early AI experiment. ~Luckjes112
Connection[]
"The quote by Cave Johnson is a reference to the Necromorphs, and a nod from Valve to the Dead Space series." I"m not very familiar with the Dead Space series, but i would like to know relates. A source would be nice, but an explanation would be appreciatted. 71.221.116.92 22:12, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
Trivia: DNA[]
Altough the definitive scientific reference regarding DNA (the double-helix structure) is the Watson and Crick article published in 1953, DNA was known to be the 'transforming principle' that carried genetic information since at least 1943-44 (Source: Avery O, MacLeod C, McCarty M (1944). "Studies on the chemical nature of the substance inducing transformation of pneumococcal types. Inductions of transformation by a desoxyribonucleic acid fraction isolated from pneumococcus type III". J Exp Med 79 (2): 137–158.)
Mantis Men in Desk Job[]
The bugs we see in Desk Job don't look like Mantis Men at all. They are bug-sized and bug-shaped; and rifles would not have been the tool to fight an army of these things. They seem to be rather a civilization of sentient mantises (actual tiny mantises) that arose probably as a by-product of Aperture's mantis serum testing. There seem to be two different species. It's entirely possible that Mantis Men are men injected with mantis DNA, while these bugs are mantises injected with human DNA or tiny chunks of human brains. Thus I think some kind of distinction should be made in the article, or at a minimum it should be acknowledged that the assumption that these bugs are the men Cave was talking about is entirely conjectural.
