Falkenberg's first quote

"The program was a failure. People forget this. It was a massive flop. The coders started adding name 'strings to the AIs as a joke. "Thomas-AT-23-6-12" wasn't special, it was just an AI in the right place at the right time."
-Gordon Falkenberg



Gordon Falkenberg is the first speaker of the game, even before the story narrative. He is quoted before the scenario Spawn and Purge. He is also the only speaker to be quoted two different times.

Overview[]

Falkenberg is described as the former CTO (Cheif Technology Officer) of Artificial Life Solutions.

Views[]

He tries to remind people that the program that Thomas and the others were a part of was a failure. He says that they were not special, that they were just "in the right place at the right time." He also states later that if Thomas did not have the specific traits he did, things may have turned out differently and he may have kept his job.

4.1[]

"No simulation can support too many entities. At a certain point, something has to give. If Thomas-AT-23-6-12 hadn't possessed those exact personality traits, it's likely the story would have ended there. We'd still be in business."
