Biography

Richard was able to evacuate from Theta when it was attacked and overrun by Terry Akers and the Proxies. He and the rest of the crew who escaped all met their deaths before they were able to get into Omicron, due to the quarantine.

Richard and Emma Alvaro seem to be the last of the evacuated crew to die. Richard and Emma have a friendly conversation before they both suffocate from lack of oxygen.

In SOMA

Richard can be heard by Simon Jarrett when datamining Emma's blackbox outside of Omicron.

Dialogue

Outside Omicron There are worse ways to die, probably. Why they call you M? Emma Alvaro, I like that, that's a good name. We shoulda hung out more, I think we woulda made good friends. Goodbye, Emma.

Behind the Scenes

• Richard's body is never found.
  • It's possible that he threw himself into the abyss as a means of suicide, which would explain why his body can't be found anywhere around Omicron.
