Alec Ryder (spoilers)
No matter how I try, I can't feel sorry for him or make him heroic...
and his death doesn't make sense in the first place.
Penetrating the suit isn't a death sentence or the comm lady would al...

Isn't the transferring of SAM a very ... debilitating thing?
The mechanics aren't particularly clear, and you add to that with the human SAM also being an atypical SAM.
Do you think it even possible to 'abdicate'? Does the transfer of a SAM require a death as some sort of sacrifice to the AI/VI gods?
Sarissa's will transfer without killing her. The human one has been tinkered with past that point so it is iffier. You are also uniquely bonded to it beyond pop's tinkering - so are an even bigger maybe.
I wonder what I have for onboard memory. Usually a field panel, like me, has some that retains setpoints and parameters if it quits talking to the server. I wonder if that is what is keeping me alive when the network crashes - or if I really can survive without SAM.
The whole point of other twin's remote chip reboot was that SAM had taken over so much his absence was killing you, but post reboot, during and after the meridian battle, you should be independently survivable, although at reduced capability without SAM. If Alec had the same Pre-reboot issues losing SAM would have killed him without someone to do a reboot.

I think it was stated that SAM had to take over so much to bring you back to life the first time (which is why SAM had to re-calibrate the connection).
