Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It
Prey Story and Endings Explained
Morgan, being the genius that Morgan is, left behind recorded notes just in case anything ever went wrong. They were a failsafe of sorts since having one’s memory wiped can leave them a bit confused in the event of an alien invasion. Unfortunately, the recordings came with objectives that aren’t exactly pleasing to hear.
It turns out that the Typhon didn’t just invade the ship, they were brought on by scientists and kept in containment. Since they broke out, the only way to deal with them and ensure that they never reach Earth is to destroy the Talos I along with everything, and everyone, on it. Morgan is informed of the need of death by January, an Operator (the floating robots that can be seen in the game) that is a sort of mechanical clone of Morgan. It was programmed with several objectives that must be followed in order to guarantee the safety of humanity.
Alex, Morgan’s brother who was running the tests, is obviously against the idea. The work of the Yu family, along with their reputation, is all centered on Talos I. It would be erasing years of research and advancements, so he tries to stop it at all costs. But he too has his reasons. He recognizes that you must die if you go for the wipe everything approach, because he remembers exactly why the Typhon were on board and your part in it all.
