SITE LAMBDA (Inside)

Guide to completing Site Lambda in SOMA. Learn how to survive the BRUTE, find Catherine, activate terminals, and locate the ARK's environmental data.

Exit the airlock. On the left is a room with diving suits and a couple of lockers. Go down the hallway. You hear Catherine. She warns you not to look at "it". You start to GLITCH. Go past the two locked doors. You see something up ahead. Don't look at it. If you look away the monster teleports to you and attacks.

The BRUTE disappears if it attacks you. Go down the hallway and open the second door on the right. Go into the bathroom and use the HEALING POD.

Go back and go into the open room. You find Catherine. Another robot. She's a little more aware than the other robots that were insane. Catherine wants help getting fixed up so she can check up on her project.

Go to the other side of the room to the computer. Put the sort of square thing you're holding into the matching hole to activate Lambda terminal 27. You get a "Welcome, L. Meuron" message. Go back to Catherine. The robot deactivates and a panel pops open. Grab the cortex chip. Go back to the computer and plug the cortex chip into the Omnitool.

Catherine tells you about her project. She saved the brain scans of everyone in the station and put them in to a simulated world. Then she was going to launch the brain scans into space to escape the dead world. The project is named the ARK. Catherine manages to restore some data from a backup, but you have to check the computer in the other room.

As you leave, you sort of blow Catherine's mind when you tell her the last thing you remember is getting a brain scan in Toronto... back in 2015. Exit the room.

The room across from Catherine's room is the living quarters. A submersible robot tries to break through one of the windows. If Catherine is still plugged in and you try to open the other door, you get attacked by the BRUTE. In one of the lockers is an email from Josic Matthias to his son, Chris, dated Jan 12, 2103. Chris Matthias is one of the members of Pathos-II.

Head back to the airlock. The two locked doors are now unlocked. The door on the left goes to an empty storage room. Go into the room across from the storage room. Check out the Area Map. It gives you a simplified floor plan of Lambda HQ. Check out the other computer. Click OK on the Data Recovered: ATK message.

Find the ARK by clicking on the sectors. First one is Earth. Second sector is off the west coast of Africa. The third sector is the Tau station. The fourth sector is the upper right corner of the Tau station which is the Infirmary (Lat 35N 13'2.26" Long 36W 1'46.78").

Simon offers to carry Catherine to Tau to help launch the ARK. Catherine knows that special equipment, either the DUNBAT at Theta or a Power Suit, is needed to descend into the abyss.

Go back to Catherine's room and grab the Omnitool. Return to the airlock and swipe the Omnitool so you can go back outside.
