![]() ![]() Mundane Utility: SAM, the uber-advanced AI that is critical to the Pathfinder's success, offers its services to help Ryder cheat at poker with Gil.Exposition: Part of its role is to inform Ryder about important information. Moment Killer: If Ryder romances Cora, then SAM interrupts them after what's implied to be an entire night of lovemaking to point out it's morning, just as the two were preparing to go at it again.This seems to be unique to Alec's SAM, since Alec was the one who unlocked SAM's blocks on the Pathfinder's physiology. Mind over Matter: Because SAM incorporated Ellen Ryder's research into its programming for profiles, it can allow those linked to mimic biotic abilities, even if they aren't natural biotics.Mission Control: SAM serves as your mission computer, providing intel and data to you while in the field.Fortunately, SAM notes they can be in multiple places at once via quantum entanglement, though Scott and/or Sara will always be SAM's first priority.

Intrigued by Humanity: An invoked trope, and part of its programming.Such as when they are first linked up, SAM is quick to point out that trying to disconnect them would kill them and this is something SAM is very clear they do not want. SAM also tends to show genuine concern for the Ryder siblings.Other Ryder: When did you start believing in luck? SAM even develops a special program for telling jokes. Cannot Tell a Joke: You can ask SAM to tell jokes, although it is terrible at them, unlike EDI.That project turns out to have been the research that eventually led to SAM. ![]()
