Thalia-"The pod recovered by the extraction team contained something I've never seen before. The girl has an implant inside her brain, connecting to her spinal column. It's phenomenal!"
J85 stood, staring at the screen.
J85-"What sort of implant?"
Thalia-"One that is completely unique. It gives the user the ability to download their consciousness. Even at the moment of death."
J85-"So, the five bodies recovered?"
Thalia-"They were all the same girl."
J85-"Is she awake?"
Thalia-"No. As far as I can tell, these were all empty shells... but, there's another thing."
J85-"Do tell."
Thalia-"The DNA from the body matches a Marine pilot in our database."
J85 looked to Thalia.
Thalia-"It's Lieutenant Jane Havok's DNA."
J85-"I'm not even going to try to understand how that's possible."
Thalia-"There's also a carbon replication unit on board the station. If we can reverse engineer that, along with the other technology that's on board, we can create new bodies with the implant for anyone and transfer their consciousness straight into them. Imagine the military application."
J85-"I can already... If it fell into the wrong hands..."
Thalia looked at J85, who had his back to her, staring at the screen again.
Thalia-"This technology shouldn't be left in the hands of just one nation."
J85-"Continued conflict until the end of time? I won't have that on my conscience. This technology is going to the SDI... what's left of it anyway."
Thalia-"... There's one other thing..."
J85-"Yes?"
Thalia-"We found data on an experiment. One that mixed DNA from the perfected Flood with specific human DNA..."
To be continued...
