★Miles

Alias

SGT. Miles SGT McNugget (by the Guardian)

appearance

Miles has the same design as many other generic soldiers. He is a humanoid covered in greyish-green fur, wears an IHPS helmet, and is seen holding a gun.

Campaign (Good and bad)

Miles can appear in the Good Ending during Chapter 3 ― "Run Away" with other soldiers, where he heads to the Guardian to learn more about the reasons behind his distress call. Regardless of the player's answers, Miles remains unconvinced of the situation, until another soldier calls out to them shortly after. Together they see a large number of New Borns approaching in the distance and begin preparing to fight back. In the bad ending, Miles and some soldiers survey the area before finding the Guardian's still-warm corpse. Shortly after, a large number of newborns approach from the ruins. The soldiers fight back, but seem to have difficulty. The scene ends with a final word from Miles.

¿What comes after?

Miles appears alongside the other soldiers in the second episode, which takes place right after the Good Ending. He insists that the Guardian must be escorted to the Military Base for his safety and assigns Dutch to cover him. He sends Conor to lead a team to search for the origin of the New Borns and asks Anne to stay by his side to counter the New Borns that are arriving in large numbers. As the two companions and their units manage to kill the armless Teletubbies with rocket launchers, a larger and more imposing one appears and quickly charges against the troop, killing all the soldiers and managing to reach Anne, but Miles finally manages to finish off the creature. Alone in the middle of the Outskirts, Miles and Anne take refuge in the Satellite Station. In the next episode, Miles tries to find a way to communicate with the military base. He goes deeper into the facility and eventually finds a communications sector in the Secret Center.

DLC apocalypse

Miles reappears in The Apocalypse DLC where he ventures alongside Anne and the Guardian into an underground system to find the machine's control and deactivate it. He will ask the Guardian to find a way to reach the machine, without doing anything, and will have some tense exchanges with him, especially after one of his dream visions. He also contributes to the explanation surrounding the origin of the Teletubbies and the presumed extinction of the human race. Once in front of the machine's control, Miles will try to destroy it with an axe due to the inability of the key card. If the player fails to prevent this, the machine will emit a loud rumbling noise that will disturb all New Borns in the pods, with Miles presumably unconscious in two of the three ending variants. If the player prevents this, Miles will receive a message from a mysterious ally named "Ninja", whose loud interference will disturb all New Borns in the pods.

personality

In every scene, Miles is shown to be demanding of the Warden, likely due to his status as a survivor, and accommodating of his fellow soldiers. His title, postures and orders show that he is more experienced than the other soldiers portrayed. He seems to have a particularly strong bond with Anne, who is often seen at his side. In the cancelled DLC, which is supposed to take place about three months later, Miles behaves differently and is much more unpleasant and impulsive, an attitude he displays in almost all of his exchanges with the Guardian. He even goes so far as to hit him and show disdain for his well-being. According to Anne, he was more sympathetic before the invasion, which would explain his behavior after several months of intense fighting, although this could also be due to different writing.

Extra note

Before the outbreak, he was a nice guy. Honestly, I don’t know what happened to him. I tried to ask him, but he wouldn’t tell me.” ― Anne.
