Some random thoughts

Just some random ponderings I've thought of every now and then relating to Snatcher.
I would very much like to know what is the regular course of Junker investigations. In the game you don't really see how these things get started since you pick up Gibson's course of investigation. There is the "hint line" you get when you call Jordan, but that seems rather flimsy as the only source of potential snatcher sightings.
If you try to look up Random Hajile on Jordan the results are strange. On the Sega CD version you get the message "Cannot execute request", which is the same as the first message when you try to read Gillian's or Jamie's files. Note that if you try a nonexistent name, the message is different, something like "No matching names found." How do other versions handle running a search on Random/Randam on Jordan/Gaudi?
Snatchers are quite interesting machines. Or actually quite a bit more than just machines. I especially have been thinking about Freddy Nielsen. He seems to have a penchant for squeezing people's heads off. Actually I'll have to try what happens if you don't do anything when he's got Gillian on a chokehold. Anyways, the point being that Freddy seems to have a clear sadistic streak, and he doesn't go for the most effective solution as you would expect a calculating, logical machine to do. Surely just breaking the neck or a massive blow to the head would suffice? Not to mention the troubles all that blood might cause.
