Will the solarium GOOD ending ever be cleared?

[Cogwerks]

Well my theory has been that the whole thing, SS13, is a VR sim. You can see VR from mars and this has never been "fixed". The solarium is just the control room and the automaton its guardian. Nanotrasen put the keys in as a debug method to kill the AI's (crewmen) who grow to intelligent.

This still doesn't explain why there's Soviet gear on most telesci areas.

If you read the logs in a lot of the telesci areas and some of the stuff you find at these places you find out that most telesci locations are Syndicate owned.

And that Discount Dan is quite likely a part of the Syndicate. Or the people who set the telesci areas up were too lazy to make different portrait sprites.

Discount Dan supplies many companies, especially cheap ones. I thought it was funny to have his portrait in a bunch of cafeterias. And yes, that company could very well be a Syndicate front. Or is it?

Biodome and Ice Moon and Solarium all share the same blue shielded walls and vague notes were meant to imply they're all kinda frontier classified NT projects. LavaMoon powerplant is a different company, kinda Chinese-sounding. Not explicitly a Syndicate member corp but not Nanotrasen. Cosmonauts have somewhat of a stylistic link to Syndicate corporations but they're generally used like "oh hey I guess the Russians were here too."

The old backstory stuff about the moon crashing into China? I kinda forgot about that.
