: My answer: situation psychology. These Simulacrums are being used aboard the
: Marathon, and the real Bobs there will be freaked out like crazy, what
: with all the Pfhor rampaging up and down the halls trying to kill them.
: So, provide a bit of fear, paranoia and hopefully freakiness to it all for
: the trapped Bobs, that way you can make the test 'simulation' as realistic
: as possible.
hmmmmm.... How would some bugs figure out we had psychological terrors? Or how would they know certain things caused us physchological terror? To me, Pfhor methods are quite straightforward: see, attack, destroy, go seek more destruction... I think their strenght lies in that there are lots of them and that they are highly organized; stopping to think about something like "human psychology" is too complex for their style. IMO
