** She could have offered Sebastian as a replacement for Myra to try and stall for a little more time. Worded well enough, the Administrator might have even bought it. There was still some wiggle room left for Kidman to diffuse that moment without blowing cover, albeit not much.

** Except it's not so much corpse removal as it is psyche removal. Each body represents someone who died in STEM. it's what's left of their consciousness. Dumping them down the pit is probably a physical representation of putting them into the deep system to keep them from "haunting" STEM like the haunted and lost. Think of it as the Recycling Bin found on Windows Desktop.

** Among other issues, Mobius suffers a severe lack of imagination. They could have made the Marrow literally anything, and they chose... dingy gray concrete bunker. The fact they don't need corpse disposal when the corpses aren't real probably never occurred to them.

** One theory is that STEM uses actual BrainUploading and leaves the body a vegetable, so terminating his vitals wouldn't stop his consciousness from wreaking havoc inside the system (assuming they even kept the bodies around at all; the one chamber we see is empty apart from the search team). When they try to dispose of Sebastian, they planned to wait until he was disconnected from STEM and occupying his physical brain again to give him a lethal injection, lending some credence to the theory. By all indications given in-game, Mobius didn't intend for any Union residents to be temporary, and had no plan B for dealing with Stefano and Theodore because they didn't count on two psychopaths getting through their screening process.

* Although, this does raise another interesting question: There is an area set aside for corpse disposal inside The Marrow. This would perfectly explain what happens to the bodies of STEM subjects, except that The Marrow ''isn't a physical location''. So what, exactly, is that disposal center there for?

* Perhaps this was explained somewhere else and I just missed it, but--why not kill people who are causing problems for the STEM system by killing them in the real world the moment they present themselves? In the first game, one couldn't just kill Ruvik as he himself was the Core, so you couldn't really remove him without rebuilding the entire STEM (it's also suggested he's sort of haunting it like a ghost, unless I'm misunderstanding). People like Stefano, on the other hand, are just residents of the STEM who have just hijacked the Core's powers somehow. The subversive team has no reason to hide his actions from Mobius' surveillance like it can be assumed Kidman is doing for people like Myra and Thomas (before he was discovered to be evil anyway). What's stopping them from just going to his prone and helpless body and killing him outright?

*** Occam's Razor explanation: It wasn't superficial, and [[spoiler:Hoffman is lying so Sebastian won't beat himself up over a mistake he can't unmake]]. There are no other serious injuries apparent on her body, and the area surrounding the gunshot wound is positively saturated in blood, suggesting that she ultimately bled to death.

* So Myra was allowed into Mobius why exactly? They decided to let into the fold a women who's daughter they kidnapped for use in their illegal experiments? They really thought she agreed with their goals and Lily's use in achieving them, and wasn't just doing this to get Lily back and take revenge against them? What contribution did she make to the organization that made it worth the risk?

*** I think They didn't "approached" her. If we take her obsession at face value - Myra found MOБIUS. And since Lily likely was uncooperative (what happens if you force a child to imagine a wonderland? Probably Silent Hill) they made Myra into a member to keep her from interfering. A perfect leash for both parent and a child, that and a kill switch.

* Other than through video game and plot logic, why did Kidman think she could possibly get through several guards with just her handgun that she apparently had her desk custom built to have a secret compartment for? Was the order to kill Sebastian so unexpected that her only plan was to have a one-sided shoot out? Presumably she was ordered into the STEM because she showed some ability before, so is she just that badass in real life?
