Teleportation[]

I believe this is not teleportation actually. When Flesher "teleports" Simon experiences a bright flash and distortion effect - I believe Flesher is not teleporting at all, instead it's the Simon who blacks out because of the EMP emitted by Flesher for a moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SonicSonedit (talkcontribs)

I've been wondering this too. The electromagnetic waves and other disturbances sure have an effect on Simon's view and perception (Ross for example is sometimes invisible to Simon's eyes), so it's possible the movements of the Flesher seen by him are not continuous.

Simons's simulator is most likely glitching. You can see the CCTV camera above the talking door (just before the power plant tunnel). From Simon's PoV it's just "jumping" from one position to another, instead of a continuous movement. Jpelczar (talk) 06:04, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
If they don't teleport, how do they get in and out of Lambda and the shuttle tunnels? If we consider the option that they use the airlocks at the “most convenient moment”, when Simon is temporarily disabled due to EMP, then the inconsistency remains in that at least the airlocks are always free of water, even when they are not inside.

Adding teleportation theory to trivia[]

Though there are clear rules established to disallow speculation of any forms, such as theories, it may be worded in such a manner to describe the fan-bases' affinity for this theory; that the Flesher and other teleporing enemies actually and invisible ones--Johan Stross--is actually caused by a burst of electromagnetism originating from these particular induviduals which hinders Simon's perception of them. I am for it as a trivia on this page, Simon's page (that he is extremely vulnerable to E.M.-energy, and worded in such a manner as to avoid a rule violation), and on Johan Stross' page. Any input, reader? --Theh5 (talk) 09:29, August 15, 2018 (UTC)
