Storyline of 1213 - BEWARE of spoilers!

[roll]

Hello,

I finished the 3 espisodes of 1213, I appreciated these games.

However, I think I didn't really understood the scenario. I would like that somebody resumes it.

Before you read the rest, note that you should play the game before to not spoil the fun of discovering the story.


If you didn't play the game first, close this window now!

Okay, so, why was Westbury making 1213 do this hazard course every day?
How O'Hagan wanted to help 1213?
Why did Westbury kill her?
Who is Petrovitch?
What was the "mission" that Westbury wanted 1213 to go on but that Petrovitch didn't let him?
What was this virus thing all about? Westbury wanted to create a cure for the Earth virus but most of the test persons got yellow death instead of immunity?

If somebody can respond to my questions or resume the scenario, it would be really cool.

Thanks!

Unknown virus kill the entire population of earth, sparing only the people on the space station, which is in fact a clones farm. Only the elite of the station are aware of the virus. In order to prevent the truth from making the station crew lose all hope or become completly insane, they lie about Earth situation and create this project which is in fact a genetic research program that use the clones on the station in order to genetically modify them and find a way for station crew to go back on earth hopefully.

Unfortunately, none of the treatment works. And instead, the clones develop the Yellow plague and turn into dumb zombies. 1213 seems to be the only clone, with 0916 who react positively to the treatment. 0916 eventually become a monster too and get extremely violent. 1213 is still doing well and seems smarter than the rest of the specimens but suffer from short memory span.

The management (Peterovich) are unsure about 1213's capabilities, fear he'll turn super violent like 0916 and keep asking Westbury more and more testing and hazard course, which, combined with being stuck in space for nearly a year, drive Westbury on the edge of madness because he believes in 1213's capabilities and is tired of being stuck in space while they could send 1213 on earth, to scavenge ressources, improve the situation on the station and hopefully increase the speed of the researches for a cure.

One day, a mad Westbury leave 1213's door open and ask 1213 to escape. All this is in fact a gigantic test, Westbury's final test for 1213, to prove Peterovich and the management and their red tape bureaucratic policies that 1213 is not like the other clones, that he is smart enough and ready to be sent on earth. By the end of the game, you kill the final boss and Peterovich finally get the chance to witness 1213's true potential, but instead of seeing 1213's potential, Peterovich's sole reaction is shock at how valuable the robot you just destroyed was, at which point Westbury kill him in a fit of rage.

O'Hagan probably discovered Westbury's madness and wanted to put an end to it, which Westbury couldn't allow because he was tired of being stuck in space station and had to kill her so 1213's final test would not be put to an halt.

Or something like that.

I hope that help!

Thanks man!

Just a question, though.

Spoiler

What would 1213 do on Earth, given the fact that 1213 is the only human able to tolerate the Earth virus and is not able to repreduce human race?

Like I said, scavenge ressources, improve the situation on the station and hopefully increase the speed of the researches for a cure. I haven't played that game in a while so I don't precisely remember.
