While doing the second mission of the ARC string I noticed something strange. The managing director of Darwin Research Associates is Paul Marples, who was the top agent in my game. Why is he still holding the position and answering his phone when he's long dead?

Ah the joys of randomization!

See, you only =think= he's dead. That was a clever ploy so that he could ditch his reputation as a hacker, and move on to bigger and better things. (But, you'd think he'd change his name <g> ).

Have you checked his academic or social security records? It would be interesting to see how they list him.

(I'm not sure if it's possible for there to be two people with the same name in the game. The database for names is certainly small enough that if it is just randomization with no failsafes at all, it should happen sometimes. But would they have two phone numbers, academic records, personal computers, etc??)
