From the records of the Corrupted's memory shell, there's an individual named Gabriel ordering them to research M.I.N.D. technology...
Gabriel... From the info I have, there are several Ascendant members, and this Gabriel person... He might be one of them!
That's possible... But we don't have any more info for now.
At least for now, M.I.N.D. technology still seems to be impenetrable to the Corrupted here.
The special properties of consciousness make it so that the longer it is stored within a container, the more it deteriorates.
What these Corrupted can only do is to plunder and find new consciousnesses and connect them into these projection devices.
Then creating a virtual M.I.N.D. to display in real space with this roundabout way to observe and research it.
Lee... Can consciousnesses be copied?
Why would you ask this of all questions—
...
—From what I know, consciousness processing is much more difficult than it looks on paper. Only the top researchers in the Science Council have the prowess to fiddle with consciousnesses.
But there have not been cases of consciousness copying in Babylonia's database. Any form of consciousness meddling has been strictly forbidden by Humanity.
So who do these imprisoned consciousnesses belong to?
Do you still not get it? It's obviously—
The Forsaken's.
