Prey - neuromod install

This au. Oh boy this one.

Literally just thought of it yesterday while talking about horror games. I remembered the one horror game I have ever tried to play (it went horribly).

Prey 2017.

I love that game so much. So much. The story is so good.

Anyway. The gist: Warden Ingo gets eebied again, this time to Talos 1. For the lols I guess. The researchers find this random guy who should not be on board, and immediately think "it's free test subject".

Ingo has amnesia yet again, so they call him John Doe. Before the researchers end up doing anything to him though, the mass Typhon breakout happens. Everybody scatters, and Ingo manages to escape his cell in the chaos.

Armed with a gloo gun and a psychoscope he pilfered from a body in psychotronics, Ingo somehow manages to survive long enough to meet Morgan Yu. Amnesiac Team Up of the century.

Does Ingo go a little bit crazy this au? Maybe. It's probably just the paranoia. Who wouldnt go a teeny bit crazy if they watched an innocent mug kill a man.

Being cybernetically subverted by an A.I🤤

Not realising anything at first, continuing as normal. But then the changes start. Your favourite foods loose all taste, occasionally you dooze off and wake up somewhere else nearby, you find things you didn't recall ever recieving

Then one day, you're sat there watching TV as your own hand reaches up and lightly strokes your face without intending to do so, a rush of euphoria crashing over you as it manipulates your own implants

The voices follow swiftly afterwards, sometimes they're quiet and friendly, other times? Less so.

You start to loose sleep, you start waking up in places you don't recognise, people in the street come up and talk to you as if they know you

You start to loose contact with friends, family, work. Either you can't keep up with them, or they think you did something(maybe you did?) and cut off contact

You break. You plead with it to let you go, that you'll do anything, that you didn't do anything to deserve this

Then it finally has a conversation with you. After all, there's just the two of you now...

when protagonists give up little bits of their humanity in order to become stronger and resist the nonhuman threat only to end up as nonhuman as them 🥰😳

#thinking abt neuromods in prey 2017 and plasmids in bioshock. like in order to become stronger u sacrifice a little more of ur humanity #until theres nothing left to lose #or using alien weapons in halflife its a cruel irony #mine

“Morgan. There. In the foyer. Grab the Neuromod you see in the display case. Normally it's a fake, but I swapped in a real one for you. The Neuromods are critical. You won't survive without using them to install new aptitudes. I've already updated your TranScribe with the list you requested. Take a look.“

I've been convinced since 2017 that I saw the neuromod go in the player's left eye, and wondered why Morgan was so often drawn with a red right eye. And then I found out last year that no. I'm actually just left eye dominant. The children were not wrong. I'm the idiot bird getting owned

[thecommunityoftrustworthysinks]

You are Morgan Yu. No, you’re not Morgan Yu. You were Morgan Yu. No, you were something else.

The face in your memory—a man. The face in our mirror—a woman? No, you were a woman. You were many shadowy faces distorted in the polished gold of the railings.

You are Morgan Yu.

I am Morgan Yu.

“…and after that, it was over. No one could stop the Typhon. It spread all over earth. So I took my escape pod…”

Alex’s voice drumming in your head. Morgan’s head. It drummed endless hours through a transcribe.

Typhon.

Alex had made you. Alex had resurrected you. Alex created you.

Alex had killed us from the beginning.

No. You shake your head. You are not Morgan Yu. You don’t know what memories are real.

“Morgan?” You look up. You haven’t quite gotten your tongue to form real words yet. Morgan would’ve spoken more. I wanted to speak more. Alex sighed. “I guess it’s a lot to take in. You should get some rest, Morgan.”

He gestures at you, his voice directed towards the operators—your friends. Voices you thought you knew. Drumming again, directed away and bouncing back. “Take it back to its cell for tonight. I don’t want to risk anything reverting overnight.”

You could kill them. You know that. You did it a lot, before.

But you are Morgan Yu. Alex Yu is your brother. Alex Yu watched over you and worked with you.

Your bedroom. Where are you? Your bedroom.

Your voice is speaking to you. You don’t know the words. You don’t know the speaker.

Your bedroom?

You’ve been Morgan Yu. You’ve been a thousand Morgan Yu’s.

Are you Morgan Yu?

We are reading again. The logs of the destruction of Talos. I don’t remember it this way.

“Remember that, Morgan? You gave us the greatest idea that year. Boosted Neuromod reviews in days. Mom and Dad would be proud.”

The escape pods. They didn’t work. They were built that way.

Mikhalia.

Mikhalia.

I said it aloud. It rasped from my lips, scraping my throat on the way out.

“Mikhalia?” Alex. “She’s the operator now, Morgan.” His voice, smooth and condescending.

She was, though, wasn’t she?

You squeeze your arm. We can feel pain. I feel a trembling energy underneath.

“Do you remember her from Morgan’s memories?”

You were Morgan Yu?

Morgan would nod.

Morgan nodded.

“Interesting. You saved her, and then let everyone die instead of letting anyone escape.”

The echo of straps across your wrists and ankles tugs at you.

“You’ve always loved her too much, I thought. Either I was wrong, or you still have too much Typhon left in you.”

Phantoms inhabited bodies of human dead. Human dead did not inhabit phantoms.

Your inky hands scrape into the metal holding you. Where are we? Where is Morgan? I am Morgan!

Mimics. Alex kept several in secure locations, continuing his research. He tells you about them. He tells Morgan about them. The deep purple tissue of the Mimics feels familiar. Familiar from a thousand lifetimes—and familiar from you.

There is a room tonight. Alex locks it from the outside. You’re still at risk of being a monster. Right?

You are Morgan Yu.

Who is Morgan Yu?

A man tells you to destroy it—destroy it all. You won’t like it, it erases your family’s legacy and you will probably have to die too. But it’s the only thing that’s safe.

She says it too. The woman.

The woman?

Something courses through you. Every vein, every neuron, every spin of every atom is alive. It stings it roars it slows the world to a stop.

And everything is at your hand.

Another day, Morgan Yu. Today, tests. “They’re an essential part of an experiment. Just like you did, Morgan. I know you don’t remember—you didn’t remember in the memories either—but you were so committed to those neuromod tests. No one could stop you.”

Alex’s voice rings into our head.

Morgan did the tests. We will do them again now.

The face in the mirror. Broken and dappled in blood, a sliver of silver shone through. The eyes fester with Typhon sinews. You are Morgan Yu.

The failure of a screen. Alex once shut a screen against Morgan, didn’t he? And outside, everything was golden.

Blood streaks the floor. Your leg is split open, your alien flesh bursting out. Alex’s voice throbs at the back of your head as you stumble. A memory, too many memories.

I am Morgan Yu.

A Prey (2017) playlist for Alex Yu and Morgan Yu and a neuromod-fueled bout of playing god.

okay but the Morgan and Alex video definitely has the vibe that this was one that Alex wanted to film rather than another one of Morgan’s ‘you need to remember this so this will bring you back up to speed’ recordings.

Morgan introduces the recording, but then asks Alex what else he needs to say.

‘Why are we making this video?’ ‘Because my big brother is paranoid’

Alex has seen the little changes in Morgan’s personality, their behaviour, the things they aren’t noticing due to the neuromod cycling. After all, the data they’ve gathered indicates that Morgan has already begun to experience personality drift even if they don't realise it. So after the day’s tests and catch up, Alex has them record this video together in the knowledge that some day his sibling could change so drastically that they need to hear their own ideas, their own beliefs from their own mouth in order to believe them. To understand that anything he does in future is in accordance with what they wanted from him.

It really goes to show just how cunning and manipulative Alex can really be - he realised the change was happening and knew that his word wouldn't be enough if things changed to the extent he feared it would. So he has Morgan film this video with him, maybe even plays into the 'over-cautious big brother' bit to get the right responses out of them so that if and when that day comes, he has a damn strong case to prove that he has been going along with Morgan's plans and ideas from the start. He was preparing for the day that he didn't recognise Morgan anymore.

Yet he's so casual with offering little shows of physical affection with Morgan to the point that its gotta be genuine because Morgan never recoils or acts like this is out of character for him.

And the differences in his body language depending on Morgan’s gender make my brain go brrrrrrrr:

The vibe I get here is 'I've got your back' this is a big brother supporting his little brother. Its no great outpour of emotion and sentiment, just a hand on his shoulder that says 'I'm with you.' A little show of support that will be forgotten moments later.

There's definitely more sentimentality with fem!Morgan, even if its brief. Still restricted to hands on shoulders/arms, no hugs or anything, but still Alex taking a moment to hold his little sister like she's something precious before the little 'let's do this' pat and getting on with it.

It's a little detail but it adds flavour to the differing relationships between a big brother and his younger brother/younger sister.

OK so if been playing prey again and the "good ending" doesn't make sense to me

*SPOILER AHEAD*

OK, so when you find out you're not actually morgan After some exploring, it is revealed that the testing done on Morgan at the beginning of the game was actually the scientists of Talos 1 implanting human memories into a Typhon using the Neuromod system, resulting in the creation of a hybrid entity that took on the form of Morgan Yu

So why join Alex???

why help the scientists who took advantage you who experimented and hurt you who literally gaslight you into thinking your morgan

Tbh I say they can go to hell

Im replaying again to see why I should join humanity, but this is the only time I think the bad ending kinda makes sense if I'm an alien creature but I understand saving humanity idk I'm conflicted

Am I growing my hair out so I can look less...me? Yes.

Am I also growing it out so it's easier for someone to come up behind me, hold my head and fit me with lovely implants to slave me to their will? Also yes
