* SanitySlippage: The MadScientist Emori in the second scenario lost it after his daughter Sachiko committed suicide because she was not being able to be the female pilot of the ark. He makes several clones of her that he sexualizes, and he's responsible for the death of Linda's parents, taking Linda's left arm, grafting it onto one of the Sachiko clones and putting her in one of Linda's dresses in his mad attempt to convince Ken to relent and take Sachiko as the female pilot.
