Another Shaun thread

[robhartman9]

Shaun is at Sanctuary making gizmos for me and one day out of the blue he says "If someone dies and becomes a synth are they alive or are they really gone?"

 

WTF?

 

I remember a thread where someone speculated Father had downloaded himself into the Shaun synth. Is this where that came from? has anyone else heard Shaun say something strange like that?

No, it is more of an introspective remark that the kid accidentally said. He tends to do that.

 

Our son Shaun (Father) is dead, and the synth kid Shaun (S9-23) was originally made at the behest of Father perhaps because he wanted the Sole Survivor to have someone to be with when he himself died of cancer. While the "Download Synth" idea is a fun theory, it is unlikely that Father would have gone through with such a procedure as he himself was against transhumanism where it concerned heavily modifying an original human being (which is why he did not like cyborgs such as Kellog).

 

So when S9-23 made those remarks, it was because our son did die and was replaced by a synth in the form of this kid. We as the parent are left to speculate as to whether to those remarks are true to an extent.
