For those of us unsatisfied with the ending teaser leading to a sequel that was never proposed, I had a reimagining of the ending teaser for SupCom2 that wraps up the story.

So obviously…. SPOILERS!

Yeah, Spoilers.

You’ve been warned amply about them Spoilers.

The ending teaser is actually a script-flipping revelation. It takes place immediately after FA, after the rift was closed. We are actually seeing Dr. Brackman and Gauge merging Brackman’s DNA with a Seraphim’s to create Ivan. He wanted to test how a mixed Cybran would interact with the Cybran network. Gauge, who was apprehensive about it from the jump, worried that Brackman might have been compromised by the Seraphim influence on the link, and that would spill over to all Cybrans linked. So Gauge terminated his connection. He then realized that, to stop Dr. Brackman, he would need to turn the alliance against the Cybrans. His first attempt was to steal and expose information relating to Ivan, but Brackman uploaded the information onto his personal server and destroyed the research facility where it all began (Cybran Mission 1). After that, Guage determined that more drastic measures would have to be taken to turn the UEF and Illuminate against the Cybrans. This explains why Guage has an antagonistic attitude towards both Brackmans, why he has access to experimentals (he was working closely with Brackman at one point, after all), and puts a nice bookend to the story, where the influence of the Seraphim enables Ivan to resist the control of the Cybran link and exert his own will - which Dr. Brackman finds both disturbing and fascinating, vowing to study it more! Oh, yes.
