Brain Uploading: Difference between revisions

Line 221:
** It turns out that {{spoiler|the Schuul}} can do much the same with bodies of other species (such as humans), probably artificially grown, when they want to snoop around a little.
** A few millions of years ago, after Bradicor implementation of [[The Ageless|biological immortality]] combined with their brain architecture led to [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-09-02 some messy problems]. Most chose the uploading as a solution. Their next war was implied to be something like ''[[Ubik]]'', but with access to weapons capable of destroying their mainframes. Thus when the smoke cleared, the only Bradicors left were those few who chose to retain their bodies and tweak their new brains into [[The Fog of Ages|semi-senility]] instead. Oh, and {{spoiler|one brainwashed [[Super Soldier]] in [[Sealed Evil in a Can|storage]]}}, but since he went [[Ax Crazy]] upon awakening, they subdued and transformed him in their likeness too.
** The All-Star is an ancient artifact specifically built as a huge (it's a dedicated [[Dyson Sphere]]) network for uploaded sophonts. [[Hidden Elf Village|The place is secret]], thus they forcibly upload those who discover them to keep it this way, but otherwise are all for protecting the agency of sapience. At least after [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-07-24 that one time].

'''Ulaque''': We tried that once. As raptures go, it was unacceptably lossy. }}
