Bridge baby

简称“BB”， 母亲为身处加护病房之植物人，通称“静母”（Still Mother），静母的子宫可以让BB连接到亡者的世界，而当山姆与BB连接便可感应到另一个世界的BT；承装BB的圆舱是模擬静母的子宫环境，需定期通过网络联机至静母的子宫更新圆舱，以提高模擬静母子宫的环境数据，藉以降低BB的压力值；亡人指出BB的存活率并不高，通常使用不到一年便会故障，有待山姆将美国各地网络重新链接后获取更多研究数据，或许可提高BB存活率。 A Bridge baby, also known simply as a BB, is a baby that has been taken from a stillmother to be used by Bridges operatives. A stillmother's womb facilitates a connection between the world of the dead and a Bridge baby, granting Bridges operatives who establish a trance connection with a Bridge baby the ability to sense BTs. Most babies are retired after a year of service. Bridge babies are kept in portable pods which simulate the conditions of a stillmother's womb, as they will cease to function properly if they feel they are not in such a womb. Periodically, the environmental conditions of a Bridge baby's pod must be updated in a synchronization incubator with data gathered from a stillmother's womb at a given moment. Notes In-universe Higgs carries a portable tank with a fetus-shaped figure inside. Rather than emitting an orange-yellow glow when activated, as the Bridge baby's tank does, his portable tank emits a red one. The bottom casing of his tank is also green, rather than orange like the Bridge baby's. Out-of-universe Hideo Kojima has stated that only one individual baby had been shown up until the TGS 2018 teaser trailer, and that it relates to the game's mechanics and story as a whole.
