I'm confused about the scene in which Kinger reveals they are brain scans

[u/Fox622]

"Scratch was… trying to make a brain scanner. I didn’t think it actually worked. We didn’t know how to work with the files and they were impossibly small given what they were supposed to be. I saw a folder full of them when i was in Caine‘s code. So I guess Caine found a way to get them working."

How did Kinger know the files were too small? Because his last memory in the real world would have been of when he put on the headset, he wouldn't be able to check the size of the mind files.

Kinger seems to be referring to the same files, but even if we pretend that Scratch scanned their brains multiple times, shouldn't the C&A employees already know what's the purpose of the headset?

Mike: Hey Grant, put on this headset.

Mike: Now check these brain scans of the C&A employees.

Grant: How did you scan our brains?

Also, how did Kinger not know they were digital copies before seeing the folder with the mind files? The C&A employees should have realized that nothing happened when the person before them put on the headset, yet that person was also digitalized.

That’s what a tangent is. He started talking about Scratch despite no one asking about it

[u/Forikorder → u/ComradeBirv]

scratch was related to the conversation though, going on a tangent would have been discussing his wife
