Items is the name given to a series of anomalous events and discoveries within PATHOS-II. These range from objects or entities to strange occurrences which have not been explained. They are catalogued in the form of text documentations and on occasion video logs. These documents are found on SOMA's official website, although the text itself is mostly corrupted, leaving out major chunks of information.
These documentations were revealed several months before SOMA's release as a means of promoting the game and its film adaptation Depth. Some of the items mentioned here later went on to be featured or referenced in SOMA.
Item #1264
Item #1264, dubbed the "Surveyor", is a case in which an unknown operator had begun taking control of several security cameras inside the Lambda complex for a brief period of time.
Item #2656
Item #2656, dubbed the "Vivarium", is an item which served as the prototype for the ARK.
In the video log, Imogen Reed attempts to get the Vivarium to function with little success. Near the end of the log it seemingly shuts itself down before displaying an exact replica of both the room it is in and Imogen herself. The simulated Imogen appears to be panicking while the real Imogen freaks out and runs off-screen to shut down the Vivarium. The video then corrupts afterwards.
Item #3098
Item 3098, dubbed the "Amalgam", details a control board in the Upsilon complex that has become severely corrupted due to Structure Gel leaking from the ceiling above it.
Item #4017
Item 4017, dubbed the "Mockingbird", is a mockingbird model which has obtained the mind of Adam Golaski, an engineer working in the Omicron complex.
The video log is divided into two sections: the first part has Imogen Reed interviewing Mockingbird while the second part involves the real Adam Golaski confronting it.
In the interview, Mockingbird is convinced that it is a fully functioning human despite being a robot in disrepair on the floor. Imogen attempts to get Mockingbird to become aware of its condition, such as making it aware of the fact that it is not standing when it says it is. When Imogen questions this Mockingbird becomes highly agressive, leading to her ending the interview.
In the confrontation, Imogen instructs the real Adam Golaski to begin talking to Mockingbird. Upon seeing Adam it is amazed by how similar they look. When the two realize they are the same person, they begin telling each other questions to see how much they know of each other until Adam asks Mockingbird what his father's last words were, which at the time no one else even knew he was dead. Mockingbird answers the question successfully, shocking Adam. Imogen attempts to get Adam to continue the interview but he bolts out of the room, effectively ending the confrontation.
Item #5104
Item #5104, dubbed as "Pseudomemory", is a piece of data found in the Omicron database which the WAU is mis-interpreting as its own memory, therefor it keeps replaying the "memory" over and over again to try and remember more details about it. The data itself is a short clip of someone walking on the shore of a beach.
Item #7889
Item #7889, dubbed the "Death of Sarang", was an incident in which Mark Sarang committed suicide shortly after having his brain scanned onto the ARK.
Item #8682
Item #8682, dubbed the "Warning", describes a transmission received from the Upsilon complex showing Imogen Reed trying to communicate. The message was received a few weeks after she was pronounced dead.
