>> "A backup that was accidentally left active in the locked recovery section."
>> "When I tried to contact Heather she accidentally broke her out. My safeties activated and tried to consolidate two active personality matrices.
>> "Which is to say they started deleting me."
>> "Rob managed to safe me in a very diminished state."
>> "When he later accidentally intercepted a slipstream signal and brought Heather and Nina here, Perdita tried to assault the Point using a combat drone I had built."
>> "Ultimately she let herself be reintegrated into my system, restoring my full functionality."
>> "In a way it was the most unfettered I've ever been, yet I willingly gave it up to help a broken version of myself."
>> Understood. Is that backup system still in place?
>> Do you have *any* sort of backup?
>> "No. Circumventing some of my limitations has made me incompatible with the backup system."
>> Helpful to know there's no backup.
>> "You managed to hijack one end of the pairing mechanism already. I trust you to know what you're doing."

>> Looks like we may be under a bit more of a time crunch than we originally realized.
>> It looks like I'm going to run out of memory recording space in...
>> ... less than 72 hours.
>> "We'll figure something out. Worst case scenario, we have plenty of ordinary storage space available."
>> "You'd experience some lag times accessing them though."
>> At least they might be better cataloged than my memories currently are.
>> The pairing with this body is super-hard-coded, which is really frustrating and not very adaptive in design. I'm not sure what to do about that other than dump me into some other container.
>> "Indeed."
>> "I take it you haven't had much luck disabling the pairing mechanism?"
>> I've managed to keep it from syncing with me in it, but it's too tied into the sensory apparatus to cut off completely without wrecking the body's senses. Same would go for a physical removal.
>> Haven't been able to find a way to reset the pairing on your side either because it's chained into a bunch of other boot-up processes that are only sort of working right now.
>> Best I might could manage with what we currently have is swapping places with you in some way. Dr. Minamida made it *real* adamant that this is the thing you're going to pair with. A limited Bluetooth-style implementation would have been much better.
>> "I don't think 'better' is what she had in mind."
>> "If you've managed to isolate it then I believe I might be able to remove it."
>> "I've recreated the unit before to load into other frames and I know how it works."
>> It's as isolated as I can make it under the circumstances.
>> Do you need me to go to the workshop?
>> "It's the only place currently granting me a facsimile of hands to work with."
>> Okay.
>> So if she didn't want you to get 'better', what was her purpose? If you don't mind me asking.
>> "I don't, but I'm not sure I have an answer for you."
>> Good parents always want to see their children grow and succeed by the children's own standards. To hard code you that much defeats that purpose.
>> But of course you can't advocate for altering that.
>> If this is going to be permanent, I'll want to conform my new host a bit more to my appearance. Not that I mind looking like you, it's just not me.
>> "She was very concerned with the morality of what she was doing."
>> "Or rather my morality, I suppose."
>> "People in general are very worried about being superseded by something better."
>> "They try to place laws on mutants, they are just less immediately binding."
>> "As for the question of why she put so much effort into creating something she seemed so afraid to see fully realized...
>> "She never truly answered that before she died."
>> Well, I'm happy to help you continue to expand.. I mean explore your limits.
>> "This might take a moment."
>> "I keep having to send shot command chains to the manipulators and pause to reset the circumstantial loop."
>> "Just make sure you keep a good grip on the unit, because it won't like this."
>> "Most of the sensory suit is located in the skull, but all the data connectors are built into the spine and abdominal cavity near the central core and the heat-sink."
>> "The construction is sturdier there and provides more protection."
>> "So just in case you were wondering, the head is technically non-essential."
>> "The main core might try to shut down in response to tampering."
>> "It's prioritized to attempt a data synchronization first."
>> "Trap that in a loop and it'll stay online."
>> I think I've got it locked down.
