I think that since the potted plant is a pleasant, familiar object from earth and the only living thing on the ship that doesn&amp;#8217;t try to kill him, Goggles sits down and talks to it from time to time to try and maintain some degree of sanity while fighting The Many&amp;#8217;s nightmare-fuel creatures and dealing with SHODAN&amp;#8217;s insults.
I&amp;#8217;d also like to think that when the Von Braun returns to earth, the UNN and TriOptimum give him a huge retirement package for saving the earth twice&nbsp;and he lives the rest of his life peacefully growing flowers to cope with the PTSD he&amp;#8217;s inevitably going to get.
(I know I&amp;#8217;m putting way too much emotional depth onto a mainly silent protagonist with essentially no personality but I can&amp;#8217;t help it ok)
