Are we all just clones?

I was wondering this the other night when I kept killing Richard Giddings - I mean Sgniddig Drahcir - every few minutes in a resource extraction site, only for him to turn up again a little while later.

I mean, there's no escape pods or life support pods when a ship dies, and yet everyone out here in space - including us - reappears magically back on a statioin when they are blown to smithereens.

So... where's my original at, eh?

That's what REMLOK is for. Every time you dock at a station your conciousness is copied and saved. This also explains why you always respawn at the last station you visited when your ship exploded, even after a 200ly travel. It's just being downloaded into a new body - guess why industrial stations also produce "synthetic meat"?

I thought you were thrown clear of the wreckage and some nice chap takes you home (his payment is having all of the cargo that was also thrown clear when your ship exploded).

RemLock masks
The last line of defence against pirates is often the remLock mask. When one of these is worn, in the event of the wearer being cast into the vacuum of space, the mask shoots a polyfibre cocoon around the wearer and begins a life support cycle. The latest version, upgraded after a decade, contains memnSomn software, placing the wearer into a state of suspended awareness to avoid the discomforting experience of being exposed to vacuum.

There was an interpretation I read was that we are the ship's malfunctioning and dying AI, that has fooled itself (along with the others) into thinking it is human. Each time you dock, the AI backs itself up, and reloads onto a new appropriate ship if the one in the wild is destroyed. The pilot is an illusion to the AI's mind, but it doesn't extend to the other ships, that you see are empty.

It explains why some of the NPCs seem 'broken', scanning you over and over again. Some of them have malfunctioned (more) and are removed by the security forces; the life of an AI is cheap.
