In Response To: What ARE Simulacrums? (VikingBoyBilly) : For a long time I assumed they were robots designed to resemble humans. But I
: So the BOBs on the autopsy tables in the pfhor ship are actually... !!! : Creepy stuff. : But wait, later in M2, Durandal says that the pfhor stole the green uniforms
: You don't operate on a human being and it suddenly mutates to have red eyes
: What are they? Hybrids? Where did they come from? A cybernetic organism
I recall the cyborg copy explanation from both Marathon 1 and 2. However, there was a throwaway line by Durandal back in the M1 manual and in M1 proper (I believe) that mentions Pfhor "neural parasites" as well as the M1 strategy guide mentioning that the "assimilated BoBs" were unfortunate humans who had been infested with a Pfhor parasite turning them into infiltrators/living explosives. Seems like this explanation was retconned by M2 though, in addition with the change of term from "assimilated human" to "simulacrum."
