Mass Effect Andromeda Concept Art Sam Mass Effect Andromeda Concept Art
Brusque for Simulated Adaptive Matrix, SAM is an artificial intelligence designed by Alec Ryder himself. From the SAM Node in Hyperion, he receives a direct feed of the Pathfinder's sensory input: he sees and feels equally Ryder does, providing them with advanced situational awareness, trouble solving, and tactical enhancements. All members of the Pathfinder team receive implants, allowing them to communicate directly with SAM.

Groundwork
The first Pathfinder neural implants were created by Dr. Ellen Ryder, a pioneer in human biotic implant design. While biotic implants bolster and focus electric signals forth the nervous system, Pathfinder implants become a step further by connecting to not merely the nervous system, but besides circulation, endocrine office, and exteroceptive senses. Generally however, the Andromeda Initiative has safety protocols installed on the Pathfinder's implant that restrict SAM's access to the Pathfinder'southward physiology.
Synced with an artificial intelligence, the implants reveal their full potential. The implant is a 2-manner connectedness, giving full insight into the host's concrete and mental state, while allowing it to generate and alter electrical signals along the host's neural pathways that the torso processes as its own. This information exchange is managed through quantum entanglement communicators, ensuring realtime syncing between host and AI no matter the altitude.
Alec Ryder created SAM with the belief that the quarians' mistake with the geth was not creating AI that integrated with organics and that SAM would ensure a symbiotic relationship. Notwithstanding, Ambassador Anita Goyle refused to defy the Citadel Quango'southward edicts and the Systems Alliance dishonorably discharged Alec for his AI research. Nevertheless, Alec persisted in the development of SAM. The Initiative accounted the development of SAM vital to their mission and aided Alec in designing the AI in secret.
SAM is synced to a Pathfinder's scanner and can produce multiple analyses and predictive models in seconds from the scanner's surveys. SAM's quantum calculating power increases the efficiency of the scanner and drastically lessens the time needed to complete planetary surveying efforts. His awareness can be partitioned, assuasive him to talk to people simultaneously in multiple locations. While in the field, however, SAM puts all other queries into the groundwork as he focuses his complete attention on the Pathfinder.
There are iv other SAMs for arks Paarchero, Natanus, Leusinia and Keelah Si'yah, although the Hyperion SAM is the almost advanced and has more powerful capabilities. This is a outcome of Alec modifying and upgrading him separately (without the Initiative's noesis) until the Hyperion's difference.
One such technology unique to the Hyperion SAM is the profiles feature. This allows SAM to enhance the Pathfinder's capabilities during combat, possible only by overriding his safety protocols and gaining unrestricted admission to his host's physiology.
Mass Consequence Andromeda: Initiation
SAM-Due east was a division of SAM designed to test SAM's transferability when Alec dies. Implanted in Cora Harper, the experiment was deemed a failure when SAM-Eastward's maladjusted integration indicated he was likely to impairment Cora farther down the line. SAM-Due east'due south memories and experiences were thus folded back into SAM, although his divide personality matrix was gone.
Throughout the retrieval mission for Alec's stolen AI kernel, SAM assisted his host in a variety of secretarial tasks, although Alec oftentimes conversed with him over the nature of synthetic intelligence and its integration with organics. He assured Alec he had no urge to wipe out organic life: even if other AIs generated from his kernel might exist twisted to practice it, he will assistance in fighting those.
SAM's capabilities were tested when a bomb exploded on the Hyperion and threatened to destroy the SAM-Node. Fifty-fifty with the QEC offline and SAM was unable to speak, he augmented Alec'due south body for enhanced strength, endurance and speed while his host transferred SAM's kernel into armored storage units - a task accomplished in the middle of a firestorm inside his "brain". Alec was left too exhausted to save himself and had to be brought out of at that place by Cora.
SAM was somewhen unspooled from storage back into SAM-Node, although he was forced to use culling processors for some functions for the time being. During the chamber's reconstruction he was visited past Cora, who wanted to know how much of SAM-E was in him. When SAM sheepishly confirmed he had all of SAM-E'south memories, Cora honored a promise to SAM-E past "kissing" SAM on a nearby node.
Mass Effect: Andromeda
SAM is starting time beckoned by Dr. Lexi T'Perro to check the implant on 1 of Alec Ryder's children mail service-cryostasis revival. SAM clears the Pathfinder Specialist, merely the Hyperion's collision with a strange energy cloud disrupts SAM's connection with the Specialist's twin and forces them into a blackout. Later, an investigation into the nearby Habitat seven is spearheaded by Alec to determine what's going on.
During the trip downwards to the planet, the Pathfinder Specialist's ship is hitting past lightning, destroying their connection to SAM. They are unable to study their discoveries nor even their survival until they meet upwardly with Alec's shuttle, which has an intact QEC. Meanwhile Alec has scouted ahead, and by the time they meet upwardly with their kid he uses SAM to perform superhuman feats against hostile aliens on the planet.
Alec uses SAM to interface with what appears to be an atmosphere processor on toxic Habitat 7. He succeeds, although he and his child are blasted out the facility, shattering the younger Ryder's helmet and exposing them to the suffocating temper. Because the evac shuttle can't come fast enough, Alec gives up his helmet and transfers it, SAM, and his Pathfinder authority to his child before dying.
The younger Ryder wakes upward in SAM Node back aboard the Hyperion and learns what happened. Co-ordinate to Lexi, SAM is connected to at present-Pathfinder Ryder on a deeper level and, unfortunately, attempting to untangle the connection could kill them.
After arriving on the Nexus, Ryder experiences a headache, prompting SAM to advise the Pathfinder to come dorsum to SAM Node to discuss something confidential. Before getting to the meat of the affair, SAM announces he has patched his connection to Ryder'south implant and the headache won't happen again.
Following Alec's wishes, SAM discloses that Ryder's father didn't desire anyone to know near his true capabilities. Furthermore, the Hyperion's SAM is more sentient than even the Initiative realizes. He is a new form of AI cartoon direct from the Pathfinder's experiences, with the Pathfinder's implant being his window to the world. SAM believes his human relationship with the Pathfinder is symbiotic i.e., SAM'due south evolution will exist shaped by the Pathfinder'due south experiences and in turn, he provides capabilities and analysis beyond normal organic faculties.
Should Ryder explore Alec's personal quarters (now theirs), SAM provides information on several of his quondam host'south significant items. At a coffee automobile nearby, Ryder turns the tables and explains Alec was and so busy designing SAM Ellen bought the item for him. SAM muses he owed his existence to a bean.
SAM has a terminal in Ryder'due south Initiative-issued ship, the Storm. He'southward located in the Pathfinder's Motel, where he passes the time formulating jokes and trying to get some reaction from his host.
Following the reveal well-nigh the origin of kett soldiers during the rescue of the Moshae, SAM is reminded of a salarian quote, which the Pathfinder thinks is a off-white description of exaltation: "Nosotros uplifted drastic souls into weapons and know not what nosotros destroyed." SAM compares it to his symbiosis with Ryder: he is notwithstanding himself, whereas exaltation destroys personality. SAM understands the concept is wrong, but through Ryder, he now understands why it is abhorrent.
During the rescue of ark Paarchero from the kett, Ryder and their squad are immobilized by the Archon. The kett leader extracts a sample from the Pathfinder and implants them with a biological tracker, which SAM neutralizes when the enemy goes away. However, to fool the containment field into releasing its casualty, Ryder reluctantly authorizes SAM to "impale" them. SAM stops the Pathfinder's middle, and then revives it after a few tension-filled seconds.
During the search for Meridian, SAM's connexion to the Pathfinder is severed by the Archon, who personally boarded the Hyperion and messed with them from the SAM Node. SAM contacts Ryder's now-awake twin to manually reset the connectedness before the Pathfinder dies. The sibling succeeds, although they are captured by the kett and forced into becoming the Archon's "interface" for mastering Remnant technology.
Though Ryder adapted and demonstrated the ability to interface with Remnant engineering even without SAM, it came with risks to Ryder's brain functions. There connection was restored and both Harry and Lexi deemed it best for the Pathfinder to interface with Remnant tech only with SAM's assistance.
Ryder Family Secrets
During his confidential discussion with Ryder following their headache episode later on the Nexus, SAM reveals that Alec encrypted portions of SAM'southward retentiveness arrays that would only unlock once Ryder progresses as Pathfinder throughout Heleus and discovers eidetic triggers.
Should Ryder talk to Dr. Harry Carlyle virtually their comatose twin in the Cryo Bay, SAM manifests at a nearby projector and announces the sleeping twin's mental faculties are still intact. SAM managed to access the sibling's implant, allowing him to facilitate a brief conversation betwixt the twins regarding Alec and Habitat 7.
From the unlocked memories, it is revealed SAM'south evolution was largely in role to an anonymous distributor of the Andromeda Initiative. This leads Ryder to question Director Jarun Tann nigh the benefactor, who knew nothing, earlier shifting to the supposed accidental death of Initiative founder Jien Garson.
Investigating the apartment where Garson's torso was plant, SAM discovers prove that Garson was murdered but could non identify the murderer, who most likely was long gone. Wondering what Garson was fifty-fifty doing in a shuttered flat in the beginning place, Ryder finds a hidden room with an audio recording pointing them to the Garson VI in the Cultural Exchange Middle. Accessing the Six through their private aqueduct, Ryder and SAM learns that Garson and Alec had a codeword, "Fulcrum", in regards to their information on the distributor. SAM suggests that the residuum of Alec's memories may hold the answers.
The last of the memories requires "Fulcrum" to access, revealing that the Initiative's clandestine purpose was to escape the arrival of the Reapers and, most surprisingly, that Ryder's mother Ellen is in stasis aboard the Hyperion under a false name, Elizabeth Riley. SAM explains that Alec sacrificed himself, unwilling to spare his wife waking up to acquire that 1 of her children had died, and to ensure that cognition of the Reapers and the distributor were entrusted to Ryder.
The Firefighters
When SAM attempts to solve an equation given to Ryder past Dr. Aridana, it unwittingly triggered an embedded Trojan horse virus. SAM is able to guide Ryder into restarting his systems before the virus could sever their connection.
Upon confronting Aridana, they learn that an anti-AI group on the Nexus had embedded the virus in her equations. Ryder soon makes contact with the anti-AI group through Avina, who believe their plan a success, and so SAM advises Ryder to play along until they could place the group's leader, "Knight".
Eventually, when Knight invites Ryder to the Firefighters' base on Kadara, SAM assures the Pathfinder that their private channel will remain subconscious from their AI detector and warns confronting using the scanner, which is needed to figuring out Knight'south plan. Alternatively, upon learning that Knight's son, Alain, had a faulty implant, SAM figures a fashion to correct it as a fashion of gaining his trust.
