Paul Simons

Paul M. Simons is a background character in Doom 3. He was an IT Specialist who worked in the Administration Complex on Mars. He was responsible for monitoring the security of the Mars City computer network. One day he discovered that the network's security had been breached and that someone had illegally accessed the medical records for everyone stationed on Mars. Simons managed to trace the hack to the Delta Labs, but was unable to investigate further due to the high secrecy of the Delta Complex.

The culprit responsible for the security breach is never revealed, but Dr. Betruger may have been behind it.

Simons is never encountered in the game. He most likely killed or turned into a zombie when the demons invaded the base. His PDA can be found in the Global Network Terminal of the Administration Complex.

ADMIN: Network Security Status
''This is Paul Simons, security specialist in IT. Our network security has been breached several times over the last few days. Now, it looks like it may have been going on longer than that but whoever did this really knew what they were doing. They covered their tracks really well. I just happened to notice some log anomolies or it would still be going on.''

''The intrusion came on an encrypted carrier signal from the Delta Complex. They piggybacked the virus on one of the supercomputer requests and it peeled itself from the data stream once it was inside our firewall. Someone on the inside there has to be responsible.''

''Unfortunately, due to the security in that complex, I can only tell that it came from within Delta. There's no way to identify which machine or even which lab it came from. Whoever was in our system had access to all personnel data including medical reports. My team will be monitoring the network closely over the next few days looking for anything unusual. End of log.''

Network Breach (11-02-2145)
Mr. Simons.

''We have been unable to find any problems with the network test that we ran on your system. Everything checks out on our end, your firewall seems to be functioning properly. Other IT managers have reported similar intrusions in their networks. Whomever is doing this must be good or someone with very high level security clearance. We will continue to scan the network and if anything odd appears we will inform you immediately.''

Email Spam (11-13-2145)
Paul- ''The email spam lately is getting out of control. The worst company is that Martian Buddy place -I can't believe all the things they send me. I don't know how they got my email address. Can't you do anything to stop the spam? I spend all morning deleting junk from my inbox.''
