Biography

When Tau's evacuation towards Omicron was ordered on September 13th, 2103, its staff failed to reach the climber due to being attacked by Structure Gel-infused marine life under the WAU 's influence, resulting in loss of radio contact with Omicron. Many employees were killed during the failed evacuation attempt, but Tsiolkovsky was one of the survivors who remained stranded at Tau.

On December 25, 2103, a party from Theta, carrying the ARK , arrive in Site Tau, where they are joined by Neil Tsiolkovsky but, along their way to Phi , Tsiolkovsky ends up dying in a landslide.

In SOMA

Kovsky's body can be found by Simon Jarrett under a pile of wreckage in the tunnel linking Tau to Phi and his blackbox can be read.

Dialogue

Phi Access Tunnel It's nothing to worry about, just the warden flexing his muscles. Well down here he has many names, Warden, The Alpha. Made up? Then someone should really fire Johan Ross, tell him there's no reason to walk these tunnels no more. You should try spending some time in the abyss sweetheart, you know when shit's for real. Hey, wait for me! Take it easy, it's not going to- For a moment I thought it was going to collapse.

Trivia

• In Item #4540 it's mentioned that Tsiolkovsky, foreshadowing his own fate, used to say that being buried alive would be a better way of dying for the people at Tau since, in a situation of drowning in the Abyss, a glimpse of light could instigate a futile and persistent struggle for survival instead of accepting a peaceful death.
