All the other ones ( Polito, Delacroix, etc.) share the same models as the other crew members.This article was originally published in PC Gamer magazine. Diego's corpse is the only unique corpse in the whole game.Whether he died due to his attempt to remove the Annelid or if he was killed when soldier reverses the gravity aboard the Rickenbacker is unknown.Īudio Logs and E-Mails Audio Logs MedSci Deck However, he is dead when found in the Med Bay, and is carrying one final audio log. After this, Diego makes his way down to the Rickenbacker's AutoDocs to stabilize himself.ĭiego establishes contact with soldier when the protagonist reaches the Richenbacker. It is implied that Diego forcibly removed the Annelid that was attached to his body by himself. In an unofficial report to a military superior near the end of his life, he expresses great remorse for allowing Korenchkin to bring the Annelid eggs aboard. Only when Bronson and her men were completely outnumbered did Diego and the Many's Hybrids manage to crush her attempts at establishing order.ĭiego finally overcomes the Many's control of his mind only when soldier has begun fighting back against the Many in force. Melanie Bronson resisted him, and instated a brutal martial law in an attempt to quell the Many's spreading influence throughout the ship. Diego objected, but did not stop him.Īs the Many's Annelids took over the Von Braun and Rickenbacker, Diego's mental state deteriorated as the Many manipulated him. Korenchkin had the eggs brought aboard the Von Braun. Korenchkin and Diego fell to the psychic influence of the Many, though Diego managed to resist with more success than Korenchkin or the other crewmen.

Unbeknownst to Diego or Korenchkin, the crash site belonged to the remains of Citadel Station's Beta Grove, which ejected from the Station forty years before. The signal originated from an apparent crash site on the planet's surface. Diego and Korenchkin both headed down to the planet to investigate, each hoping - for their own reasons - to establish first contact with an alien race. Distrust brewed between Diego and Korenchkin, who commanded the Von Braun and represented TriOptimum's corporate interests on the voyage.ĭuring the voyage, the ships received a distress signal from Tau Ceti V. During the voyage, tensions between the TriOptimum and UNN crews were high. In those three months, the prototype faster-than-light drive would be deployed aboard the Von Braun, which would journey to the star Tau Ceti.ĭiego would command the UNN Rickenbacker to supervise the Von Braun and TriOptimum. However, during the UNN hearing on the future of the faster-than-light drive, the five years of extra time that Diego promised to Delacroix evaporated into only three months, due to corporate pressure from TriOptimum. Delacroix was working on a strict deadline from TriOptimum, which Diego promised to extend. The UNN was both interested in this technology and wary as to how the TriOptimum corporation, headed by ex-career criminal Anatoly Korenchkin, would abuse the device. Delacroix was developing a device that could bend space-time, allowing faster-than-light travel. Diego met with TriOptimum researcher Marie Delacroix around the start of 2114. Even as he rose to the rank of Rear Admiral, he was still known as "Captain" William Bedford Diego.Ĭapt. The UNN heavily propagandized the event: the conflict was heavily stacked in the favor of UNN forces, as the insurgents were outnumbered and under-equipped - yet, Diego was revered as a hero and celebrity even still. After his mother's suicide, Diego vowed to never repeat his father's mistakes.ĭiego's most famous career achievement is the UNN victory at the Battle of Boston Harbor.

The memory of his father's actions on Citadel Station hung over him for the rest of his life, and would later inform his career in the UNN Military.
