S.A.M - Simulated Adaptive Matrix (Official Thread)

Personally my view regarding SAM is:

All Pathfinders would have a SAM or something similar. I imagine there would be backup Pathfinders incase something happened to the original, Bro/SisRyder to Alec for example.

If we take the above into consideration (again just my thoughts). SAM would be tied to the Pathfinder via say implants as has previously been suggested. Now what if we are there when something happens to Alec or if we take it from the trailer we see where Ryder gets spaced, something happens to us.

Alec could either be injured/dying and tell SAM to transfer to Ryder, or does it so that SAM could try save/help us and our implants activate.

SAM: Welcome Back, You are the Pathfinder now.

Drack/Andromeda native telling us about Sloane's personal records? Seems a bit far-fetched.

I see SAM more like Jarvis, just like us ironman have companions on the field, but with Jarvis he have the advantage in that he can access info faster. It may be the same with SAM and Ryder.

Here's the picture of SAM. Bangable right!

I know how I feel: TERRIFIED

1) It was bad enough to have EDI always online in my loft, having my father's AI? Like his parental advisory item or something?
2) If it can modify the responses of my body... what will happen if it's hacked by the enemy? Or an antagonist? Or an insider?

and it was made by Daddy (the AI) and Mommy Ryder (the implant).

Wait, doesn't that make SAM your sibling too?

Could make for an amusing/awkward/surreal conversation after banging your LI
SAM: "Pathfinder, you know, sometimes I wish I couldn't see and feel what you do "
Ryder: "Huh?"
SAM: "Last night..."
Ryder: "Oh...well, that's awkward."

Yeah, thank you Vall, for mentioning what I had on mind.

If he sees, feels and... basically everything the same as Ryder...

Then... you and your LI can never get a moment of just you two...
...eeeh... Y'know, that implant is not something I'd go for, personally, but sure, it was a god damn requirement...


(Bonus creepy points if you romance another from the original Pathfinder team. Then it's always a literal threesome with one feeling everything the other two... uh... WEIRD!)

Alec became interested in artificial intelligence as a means of human advancement.


S.A.M (Simulated Adaptive Matrix)
Pos: Implant AI
Station: Hyperion
The first Pathfinder neural implants were created by Dr. Ellen Ryder, a pioneer in human biotic implant design.
While biotic implants bolster and focus electrical signals along the nervous system,
Pathfinder implants go a step further by connecting to not only the nervous system, but circulation, endocrine function and exteroceptive senses.
Synced with artificial intelligence the implants reveal their full potential.
The implant is a two-way connection, giving full insight into the host's physical and mental state.
While allowing it to generate and alter electrical signals along my host's neural pathway that the body processes as it's own.


In short, when we bang, SAM is banging too lol.

The last line in the character assessment uses "my" .... ?

But i didn't really get who is SAM connected to-, all of Hyperion?, all of the Tempest?, all the squad mates?, Pathfinders only?
The trailer depicts 5 people, Alec + Scott + Sara + Liam + Cora?

Wonder if he will eventually get it's own body.

Erm...

"All members of the Pathfinder team receive implants allowing them to communicate directly with SAM"

...thank you, Lieutenant Harper.

It's ok ya'll, SAM will install himself into this body in Andromeda 2!
