As I was saying, mild-mannered nuclear physicist Dr. Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk, in case you don't know.)
Anyway, on to:
MIRAGE: YOUR FAMILY SURVIVED THE CRASH. THEY'RE ON THE ISLAND.
Exactly how does Mirage know that? She says a little later that the kids may have triggered the alert, so she didn't see the video feed from the sentry parrot that all those guards did.
Of course, Mirage may have lied to Bob. Since she was about one second from a broken neck, she had plenty of incentive.
On the other hand, maybe she caught some video no one else did, say of Helen and the kids crawling up on that beach, maybe the only beach on the island. Since she's obviously the Sysop, she could suppress the video from everyone but Syndrome, and up until the point Mirage pushes him away, he's way too cocksure to think of minor details.
Rating: EMERSON, but barely. Mirage seems both too intelligent and feeling too compassionate towards Bob not to tell him his family survived the very first thing. It was done this way to show how angry Bob has gotten, and how quick he is to forgive. It's almost a fail because we already saw Bob threaten Mirage before. It might have been better if she told Bob his family was still alive but he assumed it was a lie until she convinced him it wasn't.
