Steve Folson

Steve Folson is an IT technician on Talos I during Prey (2017).

Background
According to developer notes, Steve Folson used to work in Deep Storage, but irritated his coworkers enough that Danielle Sho transferred him to the Talos I Lobby's IT Support. Unfortunately, the move only made him even more insufferable, enough that Sho planned to remove him from the station soon.

Prey (2017)
Morgan Yu does not directly encounter Steve Folson. Tracking him on the security stations reveals that he is supposedly hiding with 3 other crew in the Lobby IT Support supply closet, which cannot be opened unless the sidequest Showing Initiative is completed. If Morgan obtains the quest, Folson can be found as a Mind-Controlled Human in the Life Support Escape Pod Bay. Folson carries the keycard to the IT supply closet and other random loot. This is the only keycard to the closet, and can only be found through this quest.

Trivia

 * Aforementioned developer notes: "Steve is a bit of an asshole and challenging to work with. He used to work in Deep Storage but the other data engineers grew to despise him. Danielle Sho transferred him to this post to separate him from the others. Now he works among the executives and sees this as a sort of promotion, which has made him even more insufferable. He ruffled a few feathers in the Marketing Department and was ordered to stay at his post at all times. Danielle began the paperwork to have him removed from Talos and assigned Earthside. Steve suspects this and has really let things go. If he spills coffee he doesn't care. Things are kind of a mess at his post right up until an old stale sandwich revealed itself as a mimic and killed him. At Game Start: Holed up in Lobby IT supply closet, but ends up corrupted in Life Support if player sides with Dahl."
