* During TheStinger, if you've done your best to help the surviving crew of the station, the Operators' recounting your actions in the simulation comes with glowing praise all around. None of it was real, but that doesn't mean it didn't matter.

--> '''Alex''': ''... do that and maybe you will live long enough for me to see your face again.''

** At the start of the game, you may get the impression that Alex is one of those typical CorruptCorporateExecutive villains who is only putting on a friendly facade when interacting with you. Cues the Psychotronic section where the heartwarming revelation hits you like a train: he is completely genuine. You get a dialogue cue after walking into an area expecting it to be January giving you guidance, but it turns out to be Alex instead. He doesn't call to mock or to talk you out of your plan. He's calling to show you how to best proceed through this area. Even though he knows you are working against him, Alex would rather you make it through the area safe than letting you get harmed in there. It's at this point that many players will realize that Alex may not be the villain of the story and is a genuinely caring brother even if you are not on his side.

* Should you choose to [[spoiler:reveal what happened to your former lover's father, she'll understandably be pissed off at you. However, some time later, she'll call to let you know that she understands that you're a different person from the one who killed her father, and will forgive you to some extent]].

* Also from TheStinger, having the player choose to [[spoiler:take Alex's hand]]. [[spoiler:Alex's entire plan of creating a huge simulation and seeing if a Typhon can see humans as more than just a means of survival was nothing but a wild shot in the dark. And it succeeded. Earth may have a chance of improving for humanity again, even if it may never be able to go back to the way it was before the Typhon invaded.]]
