Guy Konrad was a North-Englander who served as a Wrangler on PATHOS-II at Theta. His death put the ARK-project on indefinite hiatus at Theta, meaning no more Theta personnel could be scanned for the ARK.
Description[]
Konrad was a large, heavy-set man, as evidenced by Peter Strasky questioning how Dr. Catherine Chun was going to "sneak a 300-pound body out of the lab" after he committed suicide in the Pilot Seat. He was also bald and fond of body art, sporting tattoos on his arms as well as one on his stomach in runic script reading "familie."
He was also a father of three, with him keeping a photo of him with his children on the beach in his quarters at Theta.
Biography[]
On September 2, 2103 or October 7, 2103[1], shortly after Catherine Chun scanned Konrad's brain onto the ARK, Konrad commits suicide inside the Pilot Seat using a high-powered microwave emitter on his own head. This prompts Catherine to call Peter Strasky for assistance. Konrad's death was the last in a series of suicides attributed to Mark Sarang's "continuity" theory.
Due to Konrad's suicide, the ARK project was placed on hold indefinitely by John Strohmeier, citing the spate in "continuity" suicides as his reasoning.
In SOMA[]
A data buffer can be found at Theta near the Pilot Seat in Catherine's lab detailing the conversation between her and Strasky regarding Konrad's death.
Behind the Scenes[]
His last name may be a reference to Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad (Józef Konrad), regarded as one of the greatest novelists, whose works were such an influence on English filmmaker Ridley Scott that in his 1979 film Alien he named the starship on which the film takes place after Joseph Conrad's Nostromo.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Both the dates September 2, 2103 and October 7, 2103 are provided in-game as the date Guy Konrad was scanned and committed suicide. While September 2, 2103 may make more sense as it follows the pattern of scans happening daily until Guy Konrad's suicide, the October 7, 2103 date is given thrice in the game, once on one of the scan logs in Catherine's office, once in Brandon Wan's journal, and once on Dr. Nadine Masters' computer, giving it some credence. As such, both dates will be listed here until further notice.
