However, in the event where the mind is traumatically excited (as would occur with fear) enough of the brain's sensory organs would be activated to induce full assimilation by the nanite programming.

He was looking through the nanites but not able to control them so he ripped his skin thinking it would set them free. If the mind was able to partially meld with the nanites but not fully assimilate, it would explain why Chris ripped his forehead in order to "see" better. That would account for the massive deformities of the patients and why they would be called "Variants". In effect, if these nanites partially copied the host genetic information, then the immune system would essentially turn on itself. If the brain recognized these as foreign entities, then the auto immune system would be triggered to rid the body of foreign pathogens. All bodily functions are governed by the brain. cellular regeneration, immune system enhancement, etc.) What if these nanites needed to "learn" from their host? Read the host genetic material to emulate and successfully bind with it? That would explain the mind melding. This leads me to think, these nanites were probably programmed to enhance the functions of a cell. self-mutilating and ripping parts of his lips and forehead so he could "see" better). (One of the reports about Chris Walker talked about how he had exceeded a certain amount and was reacting to it. On a side note, I'd like to propose a hypothesis. My cousin and I had to take a break, cause the game got a little too much to do in one sitting. But, I do agree, it was a bit inconsistent with someone who just got their fingers cut off. They seemed to be written by someone experiencing it not just watching. The part where he says "F*** this place." Or how dying seemed to be moving to the bottom of the list as the worst thing that could happen. I like your roommates theory but I felt the notes were very personal to Miles perspective. That crazy doctor didn't like father Martin at all (the one who cut off Miles fingers). Father Martin appears to have had many followers, some completely devoted and others who would easily turn to their own devices the minute father Martin turned his back. As far as the brothers were concerned, I think they were cannibals and only curbed their "desires" because they held some type of belief/respect for Father Martin (drank his Kool-Aid). I think Father Martin knows this and why he kept remarking about how relieved he was that Chris didn't kill Miles yet and why Father Martin was always hiding, staying ahead of Walker. I'll find all you whores.") It doesn't sound like he has anything personal against Miles he just goes around and kills everyone that could potentially let the Walrider escape. The fact that he shows up everywhere Miles goes and the quotes he says throughout the game ("I'll find you, little pig. It appears that Chris Walker, having had a military background is trying to contain it. Evidence would suggest that Father Martin has been trying to release the Walrider by finding it a new "vessel". That's my take on it, anyway.Ĭhris Walker was ex-military. The perspective was simply shifting from Mile's body to the blackness of the swarm.

The entire game was a first person perspective game. That was the transition of the fade to black with the sounds. But his mind stayed alive and given the new powers of the Walrider, is now bent on inflicting the same pain and horror he was subjected to since the beginning of the game. Releasing all fear of death (accepting and, in a sense, grateful) for being shot and putting an end to this nightmare allowed his consciousness to release from his body and fuse fully with the Walrider. I think the fear, coupled with the fact that he started out as a sane person (the project had only used psychopaths before) and the constant near death experience, Miles finally unhinged his consciousness from his body. Hence, father Martin needed to prepare it a fresh sacrifice.

Billy was too far gone and imprisoned (plus rapidly aging) and therefore would not survive long as its current host. The Walrider is a collective swarm of nanites that can only remain cohesive with the consciousness of a living entity. But in order to "prepare" him, he had to witness the horrors of Mount Massive as only someone who had witnessed death can control the Walrider.

Basically, "father" Martin wanted Miles to be a vessel.

I also get why Wernicke had Miles shot (to keep the secret in Mount Massive). I get that the Walrider inhabited Miles because Billy was dying. My interpretation of the ending was slightly different.
