Pathfinder(s) and Remnant Tech
Am I the only pathfinder who can work remnant tech of can all the SAM's do that? Why aren't they out there helping me restart vaults as I add/rescue them? I know there's only one Tempest, but couldn'...

"...It wasn't early in the game or Lexi who said it iirc..."
I figured as much, but I have beaten the game and I just don't recall anyone at any point saying the implants were special. Because of that, my opinion is that they didn't, but either one of us could be mistaken.

"...SAM tells you in the beginning. No other SAM can do the things it does..."
Yes, but this isn't the same as stating that the implants are modified. This only means that SAM is, however as I stated before, we're not very clear on what the difference is between our SAM and that of the other Pathfinders.
This means we aren't sure if the difference isn't the profile capabilities or if it computing power or what. It also means, that as things stand, there is really nothing to say that our SAM would be incapable of teaching the other SAMs how to activate vaults.
Well, there was a comment in game as well where someone said they figured out what was going on in the sense of Ryder's brain being taught how to deal with Remnant tech. As such Ryder at some point manages to do this without SAM though it's at such a great strain that it causes hemmoraghing.
To me that sounds like the Remnant tech is operated by thought and that it's with a level of complexity that our brains could learn over time but is rather demanding. Kinda like overloading a CPU I guess. SAM adds the needed processing power and the implant is a usable interface.
That's what the Archon was missing cause he couldn't interface with the tech. I wonder if that flying thingy he has with him is also some form of AI. If I remember right the Archon only needed the twin for the interface and not SAM. So he's either very intelligent or has an AI. From his arrogance and condescension to Ryder (calling Ryder a fake basically because of the AI integration), it could be that his genetics give him the processing power needed, but it could be just big talk and jealousy.
So yeah, I'd really like to know what that flying little gizmo of his is.

Are you sure that the flying gizmo wasnt just a shield orb? All the big wigs have them.

Nope, it is definitely some sort of personal assistant AI/VI gizmo. Archon used it to recreate a scene like SAM does at the end of the intro mission, and during Meridian he has it hack your twin/SAM to access the vault network. Post Meridian there is and email/codex about it, and Primus is now shown to have one. Somewhere in the heart of the Kett empire, under the ruins of Bigweld Industries, some poor robot is cranking these things out for the Kett upper leadership.
