Ha! Totally forgot about McKay. I like that possibility better than the QBRMS if only because it's a more entertaining thought. I mean, does ANYone in the game even mention McKay? I don't recall it if they do.
So maybe McKay was using the QBRMs, and HE kept dying, but nobody ever realized there was another guy on the ship that looked exactly like Malone, so they keep mentioning that Malone's getting killed when actually it's McKay putting his life on the line (repeatedly) and getting no recognition or remembrance for it.
OR, McKay has grown spiteful of Malone because no one ever pays McKay any mind, so he purposefully programmed the QBRMs with Malone's DNA, so he could have the pleasure of basking in Malone's demise over and over.

This grumpy/ignored McKay idea could be a nice pitch for a tv show :laff:

If you grab it later you can keep it.
Might want to keep some chemicals handy. For research.
Who knows what wonders lie in the bosom of Bloome's buttocks!

I know of two things: the obvious example that has been mentioned many times: how can
the Beta grove end up 67 trillion miles away in such short time, when it's not flying above light speed?And another thing, the character of Malone, the OSA Spook,
seems to die in two different ways. One log mentioned him being shot in the neck by a cyborg, another log mentions him being shot by something that 'unloads both barrels into his stomach'.
Our theories at the time were that the grove had entered a wormhole of some sort and emerged on the other side which resulted in an immediate crash on the fifth planet of the Tau Ceti system. Other theories include some sort of alien influence which may have occured when the grove left the Sol System, Aliens captured the grove, found it to be a biohazard-contaminated the grove, and then sent it crashing into Tau Ceti V. Just the fact that there is a Roman Numeral "V" in Tau Ceti tells us there are at least five planets in the Tau Ceti system, but no mention of the others are in SS2 or Shock lore.
How the ridiculous mutants of System Shock transformed into "the Many" in such a short period of time may also be a result of a third party contamination, alien influence whether it be in space during grove transport or the planet itself.
As for CEO Korenchkin and UNN Diego butting heads before the mission and then both following the Many afterwards and somewhat "working together" is a result of the power of the many, not their actual choices in life.Harvester on 19/1/2011 at 16:52

Yeah, Bloome is okay, but everyone knows that Murdoch is the hottest log-writing chick on the Von Braun. She can fix my replicator anytime. :p
