A few minutes later, a massive fireball with a long and fiery tail falls near Nikola from the sky.
It slows. The large, grid-like main cabin with the Star of Life Medical logo on its side could be seen from the ground.
The rubble crumbles from the thrust produced by the engine.
Eventually, it landed on the center of an open space steadily.
Deploying an airdrop of all-terrain field hospital for one Construct only...
It's necessary as it's an emergency and a special case.
The Science Council and Star of Life are in the same boat with you now.
No need to worry about the law issues, I'll explain to the council.
Is there something to do with your relationship with President Hassen?
No, I'm just good at dealing with troublesome works... like this.
Anyway, we should play our own parts. When it comes to the future of humans, we shouldn't have any hesitation...
Now get prepared for the remote surgery.
...
Frankly speaking, we're only able to simulate the human consciousness even with the technology of M.I.N.D.
You should know that direct operation towards consciousness is way more complicated than general surgery, right?
Of course, otherwise I wouldn't let you, the only person who has acquired this skill in the whole Babylonia, lead this operation.
......
The analysis of consciousness has been completed. We will make a proposal regarding the process of memory...
That's our new pride of Babylonia.
I'm just trying to end the whole thing as soon as possible...
Then I should tell you the truth.
The past experience has caused ineffaceable impacts on her.
Then I have to tell you that part of her consciousness is in a state of high entropy, which is kind of chaotic, and very... persistent.
That's why I need her... to stay loyal to humanity.
In short, you want to erase her memory...
Only if necessary.
Then I have to tell you that part of her consciousness is in a state of high-entropy, which is kind of chaotic, and very... persistent.
Even if I can deal with it, our connection is insufficient to meet the requirement of such a high-precision transfer.
If we insist to extract her memory, I cannot undertake the consequences.
Then what's your plan?
I think we better save that part of memory in the form of subconsciousness.
If we can prevent it from being awakened, we'll be able to keep the integrity of her personality so that it won't be affected by that part of her memory.
However, we cannot promise whether deviation will occur with time or not even if we adopt the more conservative plan.
I just need her will to be strong enough to last until the end of the war, as for the deviation...
...
In this case, I'll carry out a branch operation on her consciousness, and make a copy of it.
Wait, as I remember, your principle is to retain the uniqueness of consciousness, right?
Yes, and it's the only way to guarantee...
You... become astonishingly obsessive when it comes to protecting the consciousness of the Construct...
...
I thought it was quite common for you to deal with cases like that when doing scientific researches.
Hmph, I'm quite surprised that you're such a compassionate person, seeing that you usually treat the Constructs as your objects of study.
Don't overthink it. As a scientific researcher, I need a copy of her main personality as a control, that's all.
It's up to you... In fact, we only need to ensure there's only one active consciousness at the same time.
Alright, I would rather listen to the advice from a professional—Is that okay?
