The results explained#

Elster (LSTR)#

The LSTR overview describes a combat engineer built mainly for orbital service, "a tough and stoic loner" suited to work as a sapper or scout. (Signalis, "Replika Overview: LSTR") Ariane's notes show Elster and her growing close on the Penrose-512, even though pilots were told not to befriend their unit. (Signalis) In the game Elster enters S-23 thinking she's looking for a worker called Alina Seo, and slowly remembers it was Ariane all along. (Signalis)

Falke (FKLR)#

The FKLR overview calls Falke the head of every facility's Protektor force, "an authority that may never be questioned", able to bend weaker minds and move objects at a distance. (Signalis, "Replika Overview: FKLR") After crossing the red gate she wrote that her mind felt "contaminated, defiled, by another person's memory". (Signalis, "Falke's Diary") She's the last boss Elster faces. (Signalis)

Kolibri (KLBR)#

The KLBR overview calls the Kolibri "the most capable Bioresonance unit ever produced", and every Falke has a cadre of them. (Signalis, "Replika Overview: KLBR") The Known Issues file warns that once most of a cadre degrades, the rest get dragged down, and that Kolibris need a well-stocked library to stay stable. (Signalis, "Replika Known Issues, Part 4") The one Kolibri at S-23 who didn't degrade is found in the library, unable to bear the others' song. (Signalis)

Mynah (MNHR)#

The MNHR overview says Mynahs keep their calm "even in lethal radiation, under crushing pressure and in zero G", and that their personality isn't suited to combat. (Signalis, "Replika Overview: MNHR") Their pattern is "extremely stable", and small stuffed animals make good comfort objects, though not cats. (Signalis, "Replika Known Issues, Part 3") A degraded Mynah is the first boss, and Beo, stuck in the mines with a failed hydraulic, tells Elster not to waste resources repairing her. (Signalis)

Storch (STCR)#

The STCR overview says Storches keep "a constant birds-eye view of any situation", with a manner "sometimes described as brutal and even cruel". (Signalis, "Replika Overview: STCR") Known Issues adds they're short-tempered and need early training in patience, and that showering or bathing keeps them stable. (Signalis, "Replika Known Issues, Part 2") Sieben's shift note during the outbreak says "Failure is not an option", and when Elster meets her she's waiting for new orders. (Signalis, "About the Administrator"; Signalis)

Adler (ADLR)#

The ADLR overview makes Adler the Falke's direct counterpart and adjutant, and Known Issues says Adlers "usually become very emotionally dependent on their Commander". (Signalis, "Replika Overview: ADLR"; Signalis, "Replika Known Issues, Part 3") His diary entries pile up with the same date and constant déjà vu. (Signalis, "Adler's Diary") At the red gate he calls Elster a selfish monster and warns she'll destroy everything, and the game never says whether he was right. (Signalis)
