By default, you're still adding a little something to yourself every time you use one. That Typhon material might be 'filling the gaps' and allowing for better physical performance.

** While it's not explicitly stated, based on the ending, we can infer that [[spoiler:the setup was falsified and didn't represent anything that happened to the real Morgan. It served two purposes in the simulation. First, it provided an excuse for the main character not having all of Morgan's memories, which of course they wouldn't because they weren't Morgan. And second, it allowed them to test how the MC would react to finding out that they were inside a lie - subjects that had a severely negative reaction to that reveal would presumably be failed on the spot, since there was a risk that they could have a similarly negative reaction at the end of the experiment.]]

* So the ending reveals that [[spoiler: the Typhon had already reached and invaded Earth, and that the Morgan you're playing as is actually a Typhon that Alex and his scientists are trying to teach empathy to in order to combat this.]] But just a bit earlier, you have to make a choice between [[spoiler: destroying Talos 1 or using a nullwave emitter to only destroy the Typhon without damaging the station. When Alex describes the emitter to you, he doesn't mention any risk for the humans or the technology on the station, just to the Typhon. So why not use that nullwave emitter back on Earth?]]

*** [[spoiler: I wasn't really asking why he did it. That part is kinda obvious. I was curious about what was Alex going to do if the Typhon got itself killed. I mean, escaping in Alex' pod is a failure because the Typhon who opts to abandon Talos I shows no indication of caring about anything or anyone except itself and therefore unfit for Alex' purpose. But the Typhon who is showing empathy and trying to so something about problems on the station but ends up being killed by a random mimic is not really a failure. It might still end up being the one they need, so it would make sense to continue the experiment with it. So how does Alex avoid discharging a perfectly good Typhon for an irrelevant mistake? If he just keeps the simulation rolling as if the death never happened the Typhon might suspect something is wrong (or figure it's immortal, which would negate the effect of real danger you've described.)]]
