Various archive and audio logs recorded by Ransome can be picked up whilst exploring the depths of Sevastopol. For Ransome, daily life on Sevastopol consisted of reducing costs as much as possible and trying to cut corners by blackmailing others to get what he wanted. An example of this being the fact that he denied proposals from Smythe for replacing the clearly faulty Working Joe androids with Weyland-Yutani variants since it would be too expensive to do so. This later ironically backfired after Ransome recorded a later audio log where he complained about being attacked by one in his apartment.
