Storyline Question


Ok, I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to video games, especially games like Deus Ex. But as far as the story goes, did they really shed any light as far as Who and Why Adam Jensen was saved via augmentation? I read on a pc I hacked (forgot the sender) that mentions that they saved Jensen for a reason. Is there a document I seemed to have missed somewhere?

My understanding is that Megan's massive discovery, the key to making augmentation safe for everyone, was lying in Jensen's genes. He took to the augs perfectly, no need for the drug, no rejection symptoms, nothing - he was practically the next step in making augmentation safe for everyone.
That's the reason he was saved, not to mention that his personal feelings on the mission would drive him harder and further than anyone else Sarif could hire.

Sarif decided to take some liberties with Jensen while he was in the coma and actually had both his arms and legs replaced with augments when Adam really only needed 1 arm and some repairs to his torso. The mail is the LIMB surgeon complaining about it to Sarif that she won't do that sort of thing again unless she has consent from a conscious patient.

Megan found Adam's genes allowed augmentation without rejection and thus no longer required treatments of nueropozyne. When Namir puts a bullet in his head Sarif see's his opportunity to augment a perfect specimen, one who also works for him as his head of security.

Shady yet understandable.

Thanks, Euron! I guess that coincides with Sarif's view of "Evolution at any cost, let the chips fall where they may!"

"The mail is the LIMB surgeon complaining about it to Sarif that she won't do that sort of thing again unless she has consent from a conscious patient."

From what I remember it was more about the Typhoon, the augmentations were done because of a clause in Adam's contract (god knows I'd fall into that trap too, who the hell wants to read 50 pages of fine print? Then again, I'd likely be ecstatic if I woke up as a badass like Jensen). The letter you mentioned was the surgeon basically saying "alright, I did the surgery but it will be up to the patient, not you, if he enables a half-tested prototype to be activated in his body". Essentially I think Sarif was pressuring her to insist Jensen enable the Typhoon system to see how well it worked and she just said "nope, I did what was contractually required, now it's his call".
